About Machinetrail
Machinetrail is building the trusted history-and-risk service for the used tractor and heavy-machinery market across Europe and North America. We pull together public registries, recall databases, police theft records, and auction marketplaces so buyers can verify a machine before they pay. Our goal is to make every used-equipment purchase as informed as buying a used car with a Carfax.
What we cover
Coverage figures as of our most recent data refresh. See our methodology for source-by-source detail.
Unique tractors and construction machines indexed with multi-source provenance.
Theft entries collated across 14 European national and federated registries.
Product Identification Numbers parsed and resolved to make, model, and year.
Safety-Gate notifications affecting agricultural and construction equipment.
How we work
We synthesize public-agency data, national vehicle registries, and structured auction listings into a single VIN/PIN-keyed view. Every data point is provenanced — you can see where it came from and when it was last refreshed.
We do not resell raw registry feeds. Our value is the cross-source stitching: matching an auction listing in Sweden to a recall notice from the German KBA to a registration history pulled from the Dutch RDW.
