U.S. Marketplace Jumbobee Launches to Digitize Used Heavy Equipment Exports as Global Market Heads to $286 Billion

JumboBee, a U.S.-based online marketplace for used heavy equipment, has launched a platform aimed at digitizing one of the most fragmented segments of cross-border industrial trade.

The platform integrates verified buyer and seller onboarding, sanctions screening, instant shipping cost estimates for domestic and international routes, in-platform negotiation, and direct messaging across buyers, sellers and shipping coordinators — functions that have traditionally required coordinating multiple separate companies to complete a single transaction.

“The rapid evolution of large language models opens up enormous potential for the heavy equipment space, and we are already actively leveraging them to improve product data quality and transaction analytics,” said Dmitry Bashkirov, JumboBee’s Head of Product.

The launch comes as the United States posted a record $1.24 trillion goods trade deficit in 2025, with an overall trade gap of $901.5 billion, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. Heavy machinery has remained one of the country’s stronger export categories, though cross-border transactions in the segment have long been hampered by limited digital infrastructure.

The global heavy construction equipment market was valued at $224.5 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $286.5 billion by 2030, expanding at a compound annual rate of 5.0%, according to MarketsandMarkets. Demand for used machinery is growing fastest in Asia, Latin America and parts of Africa, where contractors source equipment from the U.S. and Europe to manage cost and supply constraints.

JumboBee was founded by Maryana Serafinas, who also founded and leads Atlantic Project Cargo, a heavy equipment freight company.

Atlantic Project Cargo is a division of Atlantic Express Corp., a licensed Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier under the U.S. Federal Maritime Commission. Established in 1992, the company has more than three decades of international logistics experience across agricultural, construction, mining and industrial equipment categories.

“The U.S. is one of the largest sources of high-quality used heavy equipment in the world, but the friction of moving that equipment across borders has kept a lot of demand on the table,” Serafinas said. “We built JumboBee so that an international buyer doesn’t need to coordinate five to ten different companies to close one deal.”

JumboBee is in early-stage rollout and is onboarding buyers and sellers. The platform supports both U.S.-to-international and domestic transactions across categories including tractors, harvesters, excavators, loaders, mining machinery and oilfield equipment, and draws on a global logistics network of more than 1,000 partners.

The company said it expects to expand its verified seller network and deepen financing integrations through 2026.
