BPI is overseeing a series of online auctions following the relocation of a leading European motorhome, campervan and caravan manufacturer. With assets located in County Durham, two sales are now underway: a plant, machinery and handling equipment sale closing on Wednesday 25 November 2026, followed by a dedicated CNC and machinery sale closing on Friday 27 November 2026.

With a heritage stretching back over 60 years, the manufacturer is one of the most established names in the UK leisure vehicle industry. Its premium models are renowned for their engineering quality, lightweight construction and high-end interiors.

The plant and machinery sale features nearly 300 lots, covering materials handling, production and workshop equipment. Highlights include a 2021 Combilift electric reach truck, a sheet material handling line with three Dalmec vacuum lifts, Bradshaw electric tow tractors, Dalmec overhead vacuum board lifters and a Granada overhead gantry crane with a Fezer suction lifter.

Other lots include a 2017 Italpresse hydraulic hot plate press, three 2015 Italpresse hydraulic cold presses, a 2024 Thoman high-precision profile bending machine, a 3,500kg recessed hydraulic floor lift, 2021 Consul four-post hydraulic vehicle lifts and a 2019 Cidan guillotine.

Alongside this, the dedicated CNC and machinery sale features equipment from the manufacturer's panel processing operation. Leading the catalogue are seven SCM Accord 25 FX-M 3-axis CNC routers, dating from 2014 to 2018, most with 6200mm beds. Other highlights include a 2015 Holzma Optimat CNC beam panel saw, a 2021 CMS Tecnocut Smartline waterjet cutting machine, CMS Avant panel cutting centres and an SCM Morbidelli Universal router.

The sale also includes an OTech overhead vacuum panel lifting system, industrial extraction plants, a Weightron weighbridge, Startrite pillar drills and a large quantity of CNC tooling, much of it new and unused.

James Mellars, Key Account Director at BPI, commented: “This is a great opportunity for buyers to secure high-quality plant and machinery from one of the most respected brands in the market. With a substantial line-up of CNC routers, panel saws and cutting equipment, alongside vehicle lifts, cranes and fork trucks, the sales will appeal to businesses across woodworking, joinery, shopfitting, manufacturing and vehicle servicing. We’re expecting strong interest from both the UK and overseas.”
