KAPOW

KAPOW runs online machinery auctions out of Denmark and puts its record on the front page: more than thirty years in the trade, over fifty thousand sales in more than fifty countries, with new machines every week. The catalogue is split by how the machine came to market — ordinary auctions, clearance auctions, liquidations, and named single-vendor sales.

What you can buy

• Agricultural machinery — tractors, power tillers and implements.
• Compact plant — skid steer loaders and site machines.
• Municipal equipment, including snowploughs and gritters.
• Forestry and groundcare machines.
• Industrial and warehouse equipment.

How the bidding works

Lots run on long clocks — nearly a month in some cases — with the current bid in Danish kroner, the location and the remaining time shown on each. Machine hours appear where the seller has recorded them. The company advertises a secure payment solution and dedicated customer care, which for cross-border machine buying is the part that usually goes wrong.

What to check before you bid

Long auction runs mean the real competition arrives in the last hours, so an early bid tells you little about the final price. Machines are collected from the seller's location, mostly in Denmark, and export outside the EU adds paperwork. The site runs in Danish, Polish and German.
