Anyone who has been in the
piling business for any length
of time knows that costs for
equipment can get fairly high.
As a result, there are one of two ways
that a company, especially a startup,
can go – have a high capital investment
at the beginning of a venture by buying
equipment, or rental.
Going the second route, thus, becomes
the better option and this is where a company
like Piling Broker steps in. Founded
in 2015, Piling Broker, through its online
portal (pilingbroker.com) and using
social media applications like LinkedIn,
has in its short time become a leader in
providing quality new and used machinery
to companies across North America
and around the world.
“So far on average, we have seven
to eight listings monthly,” said Irena
Zecevic, Piling Broker’s marketing
manager, adding that the number of
pieces is growing quickly. “We try to
list equipment from known sources/
dealers or contractors owning the
equipment and list equipment that is
available for inspection. Each listing is
reviewed by our staff and, if approved,
then it is made active within one business
day.”
Those numbers are made more
remarkable when you consider that,
as of May 2016, Piling Broker is made
of three part-time workers who have
quickly grown the online presence.
Queries come in on a regular basis,
with the most requested machinery
being, as Zecevic says, anchor and
micro pile rigs, diesel hammers and
vibratory hammers.
What separates the company
from many familiar competitors
is that unlike retailers, with Piling
Broker, based in the Canadian capital
region, there are no affiliations
with manufacturers or suppliers and
thus they provide the open market
opportunity to choose from any
brand a company would prefer to
have in their fleet.
“Piling Broker service has the
advantage of total impartiality. While
dealers can sell only the products of the
companies they work for, Piling Broker
can simply offer the best machine for
the project,” said Zecevic.
