USMarkets, Inc. (USM), a
wholesale lifting equipment
rental and sales company, has
launched a new used equipment
sales and purchase service.
Available inventory includes a
wide selection of pre-owned and
re-conditioned booms, scissors,

the used equipment department is
Mike Ferguson, used equipment
manager.
Ferguson, who recently joined
USMarkets, bringsmore than
20 years of experience in sales
management and new business
development from several national
lifting equipment sales and rental
companies. Most recently, he
served as territorymanager for
IronPlanet, an onlinemarketplace
for used construction equipment.
Prior to that, hewas vice
president of sales for Acme Lift.
Ferguson is confident that the
new business sector will meet
withmarket demand. “Odds
are good that we’ll have the
equipment customers are looking
for, but if we don’t, wewill find
it,” he said. “Auctions are in
business to achieve one goal - to
sell each asset for the absolute
top dollar with no regard for
customer satisfaction or retention.
USM is in business to provide our
customerswith the highest quality
