About JMT
Japan Machinery Trader is a marketplace and export-support platform for used Japanese construction machinery, trucks, cranes, forklifts, attachments, and parts — built for international buyers who need a trustworthy way to reach verified sellers in Japan.
Why JMT exists
Buying Japanese machinery from abroad has historically meant choosing between an opaque auction, a hard-to-verify dealer page, and a chain of brokers nobody can audit. Money moves before quality is confirmed. Once the machine ships, problems are someone else's problem.
JMT was built to fix that. Every seller is verified before they can list. Buyer payment is processed through a JMT-managed transaction, and seller payout is released only after machine handover is confirmed and export shipment documentation is verified. Every status change is recorded so disputes have a clear record.
We don't claim to remove all risk. We do claim to make problems easier to spot early, to keep payment and payout on a structured, JMT-coordinated path rather than a direct handshake, and to give buyers one honest screen showing the real status of their transaction.
JMT also operates Ninki Kenki (人気建機), a companion marketplace for buyers purchasing within Japan. Both run on the same verified-seller foundation; Ninki Kenki is domestic-only and doesn't carry export services. JMT coordinates inquiries, quotations, and export/logistics support for listings on its own platform — it lists machines on behalf of verified sellers, but doesn't own the machines themselves, and a listing's terms are ultimately set by the seller within JMT's review process.
What we do
- Verify sellers — company registration, kobutsusho license, and yard documents reviewed before any listing goes live.
- Coordinate payment — buyer payment moves through a JMT-managed transaction, and seller payout is released only after export shipment documentation is verified.
- Coordinate export — inland transport, loading, shipment documentation, and the document chain are tracked on every international transaction.
- Audit everything — every state change is appended to an audit log, override or not.
- Cover real categories — excavators, wheel loaders, cranes, forklifts, trucks, attachments, and parts, searchable by category and specification.
