Equippo operates as a used construction equipment marketplace, specializing in the sale of fully inspected machinery such as excavators, loaders, dump trucks, and other heavy equipment. The company provides a platform where buyers can browse detailed listings that include expert inspections, photographs, videos, and functional test reports. Their primary end-users consist of construction companies and contractors who require reliable equipment for various projects, ranging from small-scale jobs to large infrastructure developments. Equippo’s services also extend to facilitating logistics, ensuring that purchases are delivered directly to the buyer's job site, thereby streamlining the procurement process.

The marketplace has a broad geographical reach, serving clients across Europe, including countries like Romania, Serbia, the Czech Republic, and Portugal, as well as extending further into international markets. Equippo generates revenue through the sale of used construction equipment on its platform. The transaction structure typically involves direct sales to business clients, where buyers pay a final price that includes the cost of delivery, calculated transparently through the company’s delivery cost estimator. Notably, a 5% fee applies to transactions, with a minimum charge of EUR 350, ensuring that the pricing structure is clear and predictable for customers.

The company enhances buyer confidence with a money-back guarantee that allows customers to test equipment for five days post-delivery before committing to the purchase. By focusing on quality control and excellent customer service, Equippo has positioned itself as a trusted marketplace in the used equipment sector, facilitating seamless transactions between sellers and buyers. In February 2022, Equippo AG raised an undisclosed amount of venture funding led by Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics AB, with participation from VI Partners AG and returning investor btov Partners. The company plans to use the funding to develop a new software product aimed at construction and rental companies and to support its expansion in Europe.
