Mascus Scraper — Global Heavy Equipment & Machinery Data

Extract structured listings from Mascus, the largest international marketplace for used heavy equipment, agricultural machinery and trucks. Mascus Scraper returns clean, normalized records with price, make, model, year, hours, location and seller details — across six equipment categories and dozens of countries.

🔎 What is Mascus Scraper?

Mascus lists hundreds of thousands of machines from dealers and private sellers across Europe, North America and beyond. The catalogue is spread over six top-level categories and hundreds of machine types, each paginated, each with its own filters. Collecting it by hand is impractical, and the site's own search does not give you a comparable table.

Mascus Scraper turns that catalogue into a dataset. It walks the category tree, extracts every listing it finds, normalizes the fields into a consistent schema and hands you back one row per machine — with prices converted to euros alongside the original currency, so listings from Poland, Sweden and Spain can sit in the same comparison.

Typical uses:

• 📊 Price benchmarking — what a 2018 Caterpillar wheel loader with 11,000 hours actually sells for, by country
• 🏗️ Market sizing — how much inventory exists in a given category and region
• 🔄 Fleet valuation — residual value curves built from real asking prices
• 🛒 Sourcing — finding machines matching a spec across every dealer at once

📦 What data does Mascus Scraper extract?

Each result is one listing, with 37 fields. The core ones:

Field	Description
🏷️ marca · modelo	Manufacturer and model, as listed
📅 anio	Year of manufacture
💶 valor · moneda	Asking price in the listing's own currency
💱 precio_eur	Same price converted to euros — makes cross-border comparison possible
⏱️ tiempo_uso	Hours or kilometres of use
📍 ubicacion · pais	City/region and ISO country code
🏢 compania · telefono	Seller name and contact number as published
🗂️ categoria · tipo	Category and machine type
🔗 url · ref_anuncio	Listing URL and stable identifier
🖼️ imagenes · num_imagenes	Image URLs and how many the listing has
🔨 es_subasta · es_alquiler	Whether the listing is an auction or a rental
📆 fecha_publicacion	When the listing was published

🚀 How to use Mascus Scraper

1. Open the Actor and leave data_freshness on preloaded for an instant result from the current monthly snapshot, or switch it to live to scrape Mascus in real time.
2. Pick your categories. Five are enabled by default: construction, agriculture, forestry, material handling and groundcare.
3. Enable cat_transport if you want trucks and trailers. It is off by default — see the warning below.
4. Set maxItems. Leave it at 0 for the whole catalogue, or cap it while you test.
5. Run it, then download the dataset as JSON, CSV, XLSX or XML.

⚠️ The one setting people miss. cat_transport defaults to false. On the August 2026 catalogue that single flag is the difference between 405,744 listings and 335,849 — 69,895 records, 17.2% of the total, silently absent. The run still ends in SUCCEEDED. If you want transport, switch it on explicitly.

💰 How much does it cost to use Mascus Scraper?

Mascus Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing: $0.0019 per result, plus a small Actor-start charge.

What you pull	Approximate cost
1,000 listings — a test slice	$1.90
50,000 listings — one large category	$95
The full catalogue (~400,000)	~$760

💡 Run a capped test first. Set maxItems to 500, check the fields you care about are populated for your categories, then scale up. Note that the full catalogue exceeds a $200 per-run spend cap — raise the cap before pulling everything, or the run will stop mid-way and still report success.

Deduplication note: running the Actor returns 397,240 unique listings, because it deduplicates as it serves. Downloading the underlying dataset by direct link gives 405,744 rows including 8,504 duplicates. Apply DISTINCT on item_id if you take the direct route.

❓ FAQ

Is scraping Mascus legal? Mascus Scraper collects publicly visible listing data — no login, no paywall, no personal accounts. It respects robots.txt and rate-limits itself. Seller phone numbers appear because sellers publish them on the listing as business contact details; if your use case falls under GDPR, review your own basis for processing them before you store them.

How fresh is the data? In preloaded mode you get the current monthly snapshot instantly. In live mode you get the marketplace as it is right now, at the cost of a longer run.

Why are some fields empty? Because the listing left them empty. Mascus does not require sellers to fill in hours, serial number or engine data, so coverage varies by category — construction listings are richer than groundcare.

Can I get only one country or one manufacturer? Not through a dedicated input yet. Pull the categories you need and filter on pais or marca afterwards.
