Buyer-side equipment sourcing
We source equipment for working businesses.
Tell us what the machine must do. We screen available equipment, document what is known, and bring forward candidates worth your time.
- Currently sourcing:
- Compact earthmoving
- Material handling
- Access equipment
Geography is evaluated against freight, timing, inspection access, and delivered cost.
You inspect and buy directly from the seller. Cosagon does not hold your purchase funds.
Equipment
The wrong configuration can make a good machine a bad purchase.
We focus on equipment where specifications, condition, records, and freight materially affect whether the purchase will work.
Compact earthmoving
Compact excavators, skid steers, compact track loaders, and attachments
Material handling
Forklifts, reach trucks, telehandlers, and specialized warehouse equipment
Access and lifting
Boom lifts, scissor lifts, and selected jobsite lifting equipment
What you receive
A marketplace gives you listings. We organize a decision.
Each candidate is compared with the buyer’s hard requirements, available evidence, unresolved questions, and delivered-cost constraints.
- A requirement-led shortlist
- A record of supporting evidence
- Open items to resolve before purchase

This is a representative review format, not a completed Cosagon transaction. Actual findings depend on the buyer’s requirement and the evidence available for each machine.
Before an introduction
A listing is a lead, not a verified machine.
Before a buyer spends time on inspection or transport, the available information should answer five practical questions.
Is it the right machine?
Match the application, capacity, dimensions, configuration, attachments, and operating environment.
What exactly is being offered?
Establish make, model, year, serial or PIN, location, hours, and the seller’s authority to sell.
What supports the stated condition?
Request current photographs, meter evidence, operating video, maintenance records, and inspection access.
What remains unresolved?
Separate confirmed facts from seller statements, missing records, inspection items, and ownership questions.
What will it cost to put to work?
Consider purchase price, inspection, freight, tax, attachments, and immediate repair or service needs.
How we source
From equipment requirement to direct seller introduction.
Cosagon supports the search and organizes the available information. You retain control of approval, inspection, and purchase.
Tell us what the work requires
Define the application, hard specifications, acceptable condition, delivery location, budget, and timing.
We screen available equipment
Cosagon reviews market options against the requirement and removes machines that fail technical or commercial constraints.
We organize the facts and open questions
You receive a clear account of fit, supporting information, seller statements, and items still requiring independent verification.
You inspect and purchase directly
Cosagon makes the introduction. Buyer and seller negotiate, inspect, contract, arrange transport, and close with the appropriate independent parties.
Transaction
You buy directly from the seller.
Cosagon sources candidates and organizes the available information. We never take title to the equipment or possession of your purchase funds.
You approve the candidate
You decide which machines advance to inspection and negotiation.
Independent checks stay independent
Inspection, lien review, escrow, and freight are handled by qualified parties when needed.
You close with the seller
Buyer and seller negotiate, contract, and transfer payment directly.
For equipment owners
Have equipment that may fit an active search?
Send the make, model, year, hours, serial or PIN, location, condition summary, maintenance evidence, inspection availability, and confirmation that you are authorized to sell.
