Maximise Value with Industrial Lifting, Handling and Storage Auctions

At Auction News, we showcase a wide range of upcoming UK auctions in the industrial lifting, handling and storage sector. With over 65 years of expertise in the auction industry, we’re the trusted platform for businesses sourcing quality equipment — from used forklift trucks to pallet racking systems and warehouse shelving.

Whether you're upgrading your warehouse setup or looking to buy affordable second-hand forklifts, our platform connects you with reputable auctioneers offering great value and nationwide coverage.

 

Why Buy from Forklift and Warehouse Storage Auctions?

Industrial equipment auctions provide a cost-effective and efficient way to source essential assets. From online forklift auctions to surplus warehouse equipment sales, here’s why thousands of businesses choose to buy at auction.

1. Save Money on Essential Equipment

Buying through a forklift auction gives you access to equipment like counterbalance trucks, reach trucks and pallet stackers at a fraction of the retail price. Many of the machines available are well-maintained and ideal for businesses looking to scale without overspending.

2. Access a Broad Range of Inventory

Auctions often feature an extensive selection of equipment, including:

  • Pallet racking and cantilever racking

  • Warehouse shelving and mezzanine floors

  • Powered pallet trucks, scissor lifts and trolleys

Whether you're browsing for pallet racking for sale via auction or handling gear for short-term contracts, you’re likely to find what you need.

3. Immediate Availability

Unlike purchasing new machinery — which often involves long lead times — most lots in handling and storage auctions are ready for immediate use, helping businesses stay agile during expansion or restructuring.

4. National and Local Auction Listings

Looking for a forklift auction near you or browsing online warehouse equipment sales? Auction News connects you with both on-site and digital events from auctioneers across the UK.

5. Sustainable Purchasing Decisions

Choosing used forklifts or second-hand warehouse shelving supports circular economy practices and helps reduce waste. It’s a smart choice for businesses looking to meet sustainability goals while protecting the bottom line.
