FAQ


What typically comes up in industrial auctions?
Manufacturing plant and machinery, lathes, presses, mills, compressors, warehouse racking and shelving, commercial fitouts, and the full contents of factories and workshops when they close.

How do I find industrial auctions in my state?
The listings below are organised by state. The major houses such as Slattery, Lloyds, and Grays, all run regular industrial sales nationally. Local clearance and liquidation houses also contribute significant volume in each state.

Is industrial equipment sold with any compliance certification?
Rarely. Most equipment is sold as-is with no certification. If you intend to use machinery commercially, you’ll need to arrange an independent compliance inspection before commissioning it in a workplace.

What should I check before bidding on industrial equipment?
Age, condition, operating hours where applicable, power requirements, and whether the equipment is complete (tooling, dies, and accessories often go missing).

Rod’s Tips


Factory closure sales are where the genuine bargains are. When a complete factory disposes, everything goes, from the machinery to the brooms. Lot quality is high and pricing is motivated.

Warehouse racking is perennially undervalued at auction. New Dexion or Colby racking is expensive. Second-hand racking at auction, even accounting for transport and re-erection, is typically 30–60% cheaper. Check beam and upright condition carefully for damage and missing pins.

Bring a measuring tape and the equipment specs you need to match. Industrial auction listings are often vague on dimensions. If you’re buying to fill a specific space or process requirement, measure at the preview and don’t rely on catalogue descriptions.

Power requirements matter. Three-phase industrial equipment is common at auction. Confirm your site has the correct supply before bidding on anything that needs it.

    More detail

    This is a straight-up pickup-only clearance from Grays in Yenorra, NSW. The 10% buyer’s premium is on the low side for a bonded stock sale, so factor that into your bidding. All lots are palletised and ready to go, but you must collect from Yenorra yourself.

    The standout lot is the pallet of Mount Bingar Chardonnay casks (96 x 2L boxes) – that is serious volume for a party or a pub resupply. The 2011 Winemakers Choice Riesling is worth a look if you have a cool cellar or a restaurant trade. There is also a pallet of 24 cartons of Same Same White Peach Hard Seltzer (24 x 250mL cans), which moves well in summer.

    Check the lot list carefully for pallet weights and any damage notes before you bid. Pickup is strict, so bring a truck and some help. This suits a bottle shop operator, a function caterer, or a serious home drinker with space.

    More detail

    MGS has been running sales from this Adelaide suburb since 1980, and this one is squarely aimed at commercial operators. The lot list features new and unused industrial chillers, cooling towers, and associated pumps and controls. If you need to upgrade a factory or warehouse cooling system, this is a chance to buy at auction prices rather than retail.

    Buyers should note the close date is yet to be confirmed, so keep an eye on the listing for the deadline. Given MGS handles regular commercial and machinery sales, inspection arrangements are likely straightforward. The gear is in Kilkenny, so factor in pickup logistics if you are bidding from interstate.
