Types of Industrial Auctions

Industrial auctions come in various forms, each serving different business needs - from clearing surplus stock to sourcing second-hand machinery. Understanding the differences can help buyers and sellers make informed decisions. Some of the most common types include:

  • Surplus Industrial Auctions - These auctions offer excess stock or equipment no longer required by a business. Items are typically in good working order and can include anything from tools and machinery to storage solutions and parts.

  • Commercial Industrial Auctions - Focused on equipment used across commercial and industrial environments, these auctions feature everything from office furniture and lighting to HVAC systems and generators.

  • Industrial Machinery Auctions - Specialising in used or surplus machinery, these auctions are ideal for manufacturers, engineers and fabricators. Expect to find CNC machines, lathes, milling machines, presses and other heavy-duty tools.

  • Industrial Liquidation Auctions - These auctions occur when businesses are closing, downsizing, or restructuring. They offer a wide range of assets, often including high-value equipment sold at significantly reduced prices for quick clearance.
