FOREWORD
Machines4U is an online marketplace that makes it easy to trade capital equipment online. Established in 2006,
Machines4U has quickly become a leading capital equipment marketplace across Australia and New Zealand. The
platform covers most machinery sales industries, which are covered in this report, including:
Louise’s experience working with capital equipment OEMs and dealers has
seen her hands on with major equipment launches such as John Deere
Construction, or industry events with woodworking machine experts Biesse,
just to name a few. Louise has become renowned in the industry as a PR
force at Machines4U and has secured strong, long-term relationships with
major leaders in the capital equipment world. Her decade-long journalistic
experience is extensive and has been instrumental in compiling the data in
this report so that it’s valuable for the Everyman or the Analyst.
The Big Orange Report is a top-level breakdown of our own marketplace data, as well as deeper analytics for search and
user data from July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019, as well as year-on-year data. It is a representation of buyer behaviours
through research, engagement and enquiry phases that are ‘top of the funnel’ and take place on the Machines4U
website. It is not an indication of wider market behaviour. The data captures all listing types including new, used, auction
and hire. Therefore, the data herein is a true representation of Machines4U users, equipment and search trends over the
2018-19 fiscal year—including margin of error.
The data in this report is divided into 15 distinct equipment markets. The markets are then segmented by the big
questions on buyer behaviour and enquiry behaviour.
In this report you will find a marketplace overview across all industries, machinery trends and a breakdown of our top
5 industries. Each industry section provides specific information relating to the top brands, search trends and enquiry
types within that industry. This data begins with the top 5 industries identified and is then presented in alphabetical order
of all subsequent industries (as specified in the foreword).
The focus of this report is to provide insight to the buyer behaviours of the Machines4U online marketplace and search
trends for the identified top industries, and all subsequent industries thereafter. It is intended for original equipment
manufacturers (OEMs), dealers, business owners, private sellers, and others working within the machinery sales
industry.
You can expect to find pie graphs, line graphs, radial graphs and other visual representations of our search and user data
from www.machines4u.com.au and Machines4U Google Analytics data. In some of these graphs, you will notice we
have plotted time on the X axis and the variable (generic search volumes, number of buyers, brand search volumes) on
the Y axis. This is to provide an easy-to-read representation of our data for that industry, and showcase trends (peaks
and dips) in what buyers are searching for, when and in what volume.
Our user and search data is collected from our own analytics within the machines4u.com.au website. Thanks to our
purpose-built search function, we can also collect data on search terms and keyword volumes used within the website.
Except for Google Analytics, the data in this report is 100% owned and generated by Machines4U and has not been
collected from any third parties.
This report cannot be reproduced, sold or published in part or in full without the express written consent of Machines4U.
Disclaimer: This report is for general purposes only. Machines4U takes no responsibility or liability for any short or long-term decisions taken on the
basis of the analysis offered in this publication. User discretion regarding the accuracy, completeness and reliability is recommended. Please speak
to qualified industry professionals prior to making any final decisions prompted by this report.

This represents Machines4U browsing traffic volumes by industry, where buyers are coming into our
website and finding what they need via our site navigation.
This data was used to quickly identify which industries were most popular in the marketplace. The data
was then analysed to provide a representation of each industry’s position in the marketplace. To find this
information, the percentage of each industry and the percentage of each data point were added together.
This created the total percentage, which was then divided by 2 for the average.

searches totalled 32.17%.
Although Trucking slipped from the Top 5 in terms of keyword searches, the browse traffic for this industry
was significantly higher than that of the Catering industry.
Please note: this data was collected via analytics and uses keywords related to an industry, not the
industries themselves. For example, ‘tractors’ relates to ag/farming, but there were no searches for
