I have a large inventory; can I upload my listings automatically?

Contact the Krank team directly at [email protected] send us an excel or .csv file of your inventory including the URL links to your listing images. Your inventory will be 

mapped and uploaded for you automatically.

When we’ve mapped it once you don’t have to repeat the process, just send your inventory file whenever you want to update it; daily, weekly or monthly and it will be

updated automatically.

When I create a listing, I can’t see the correct sub-category for my item, what should I do?

If you've chosen a category, e.g. Earthmoving & Compaction and there is no sub-category to match your equipment, just select 'other' and continue to follow the steps to create your listing.

I can’t see the manufacturer’s name of my equipment in the drop-down menu, what should I do?

If the name of the manufacturer of equipment isn';t in Krank';s database, just fill in the name yourself. Be sure to check that you have the correct spelling. The manufacturer's name you have typed will be saved in Krank's database and will show up in searches


How can I add a spec sheet to my listing?

My town or city is not listed in the towns and cities for my country, what should I do?

If your town or city is not already listed in the drop-down menu for your country, hit the Add your city button in the location tab of add listing. Be sure to enter the correct spelling and Krank's database will store it so you will not have to repeat the process a second time.

How many pictures can I upload in one listing?
