Via Mobilis scraper (Planet Trucks / Europe Camions / Europe TP network) for Europe’s used trucks, tractor units, semi-trailers, excavators, forklifts, vans, and farm machines — into clean JSON via Apify. Paste category or listing URLs, or pick presets, then export price (often excl. VAT), year, hours / km, make / model, specs, images, and seller phone when published. Fast HTTP path (curl_cffi) with French residential proxy recommended for Cloudflare. Use as a Via Mobilis / Planet Trucks / Europe Camions API alternative from Python, Node.js, cURL, or MCP.

Best for: EU used-truck and construction-equipment comps, dealer lead lists, fleet sourcing, and cross-border inventory monitoring.

When to use this Actor

Use the Via Mobilis Scraper when you need:

• Truck & trailer pricing — tractor units, tippers, semi-trailers across Planet Trucks / Europe Camions mirrors
• Construction equipment intelligence — excavators, loaders, bulldozers, telehandlers with hours and weight
• Handling & agri stock — forklifts, aerial platforms, farm tractors
• Dealer contacts — seller name + phone on detail pages when disclosed

FAQ

Which sites does this Via Mobilis scraper cover?
Any URL on the Via Mobilis network that shares the same catalog IDs (ts-vi…), including via-mobilis.com, Planet Trucks, Europe Camions, Europe Construction Equipment, forklift and agri mirrors.

Is this a Planet Trucks / Europe Camions API alternative?
Yes for public listing extraction into JSON/CSV via Apify — category crawls, detail enrichment, and MCP / Python / Node workflows. Respect site terms and applicable law.

Why FR residential proxy?
The network sits behind Cloudflare. French/EU residential sessions are more reliable for larger crawls.

Listings vs details?
Use listings for fast discovery cards; use details when you need model, specs, gallery, and seller phone.
