Inside This Week’s Machinery Auction Market – 150 Upcoming Sales inc Earthmoving Attachments, Crushing Plant & Mining Equipment

Vickers & Hoad (Bowral NSW) specialise in single-owner collections, deceased estate dispersals and curated private collections, and this listing fits that mould: the contents of The Moorings, Robertson, put up as one dispersal across antiques, garden pieces and machinery.

The mix rewards a proper look through the catalogue rather than a quick scan. Collectables and art sit alongside plant and equipment, so there is scope for both the casual buyer and the serious one. Check each lot on its merits and confirm condition before bidding.

This is a Pickles-run clearance of NSW state government and council surplus, a category that tends to throw up practical working gear rather than showroom stock. The lots span machinery, equipment and various goods, so the mix rewards a proper read of the manifest rather than a quick skim.

Council and government disposals are worth watching because the gear has usually been maintained to a schedule and retired on age or fleet rotation, not because it failed. Plant and equipment buyers should check service records and hours where listed, and factor in the cost of transport from Sydney.

The auction closes 16 November. Review the lot list, confirm inspection details with Pickles, and have your numbers sorted before bidding opens.

This is a genuine workshop clearance, not a tidy-up sale. The lots span the full range of a working machine shop: a Crowther & Marshall Cromar horizontal borer and a 15 Ryazan lathe for the heavy cutting work, plus a Saffro Plasmajet 4 plasma cutter for sheet and plate.

Power and welding gear make up the bulk of the rest. Two Caterpillar generators are on the list, a 3412-powered genset and a 250kW SR4 running a Cat 3408 engine, alongside a run of Lincoln Idealarc welders including CV500-I and DC-600 Red units and three TM-500/500 grey machines. A Wolff idler upright welder comes with ten pieces of parts and two submerged welding wire setups.

Finishing equipment rounds out the sale: an acid cleaning tank and an unfinished acid tank project, a Turbo Wash parts spin washer, and a February 2014 Thermo Jet Rotunda TRV24 415V parts washer built for heavy duty performance work. Inspection is at Gateshead, and the sale closes 19 November 2026.

This is not backyard digger stuff. We’re talking production-scale mining machinery, the kind of gear that moves mountains in a single pass. The two Terex O&K RH170 units are serious face shovels, while the Hitachi EX2500-6 is a proven workhorse for loading trucks in hard rock conditions.

The Komatsu WA1200-3 is one of the biggest wheel loaders ever built, and the Caterpillar 6050 is a hydraulic excavator designed for high-volume overburden removal. Buyers should factor in transport and inspection costs before bidding, as these units are located across various national sites. Given the age of the fleet, service history and component wear will be the key to working out a realistic bid.

This is a broad commercial liquidation out of Kilkenny in Adelaide, handled by an auction house that has been running regular commercial, agricultural, mining, machinery and deceased estate sales since 1980. That long history matters: they know how to move mixed industrial stock, and the catalogue reflects it, pulling together test equipment, plant and transport in one sale.

The spread suits buyers who want to kit out a workshop or top up a fleet without chasing several auctions. Test equipment sits alongside machinery and transport assets, so there is scope to pick up small diagnostic gear and heavier plant in the same bidding session.

Do your homework on condition and inspection before the 10 November close. Mixed liquidations reward the buyer who checks the lot list properly and knows what each item is worth to them.

Buckets dominate the list, with general purpose units at 900mm, 1600mm and 600mm, a 300mm trench bucket, plus the CAT mud bucket and the 2200mm hydraulic tilting bucket. If you run an excavator, there is plenty here to kit it out.

Beyond the digging gear, the mix gets interesting. A Lincoln Electric Dual Maverick 450 diesel generator/welder covers both power and welding duties, a petrol spray unit suits property maintenance, and a Clearmake oil/water separator system points to workshop or environmental setup. A 2013 Data Signs Data Sign C adds a traffic management option, and the Cummins V12 engine is the wildcard of the catalogue.

Lots are spread across various Queensland locations, so check each listing for inspection and collection details before bidding. The auction closes 4 November 2026.

This is a practical mixed auction for anyone outfitting a workshop or topping up consumables. The Stonex S9i GPS bundle is the standout for survey or civil work, while the 2017 John Deere Ztrak Z930R gives grounds crews a commercial zero-turn mower with a known model year.

The bulk of the list is storage and handling gear: seven 1000 litre intermediate bulk containers, a heavy duty pallet table and a three step platform. Add the generator and pumps pallet and you have a spread that suits a farm shed, yard or small industrial setup.

Lots are spread across various Queensland locations, so check each item’s details for pickup before bidding. Online bidding closes 4 November 2026 at 9am.

This is a whole-of-site liquidation at the former Roper Bar mine in Limmen, NT, and the spread reflects a working operation rather than a tidy surplus list. Expect the big iron first: excavators, wheel loaders, haul trucks and dozers, backed by crushing and screening plant, drill rigs and support gear.

Alongside the production fleet there’s haulage and transport equipment, light and heavy vehicles, and a deep bench of workshop equipment, gensets, tooling and spares. Sites like this move everything, so the workshop and ancillary lots are worth a close look for buyers who don’t need the headline machines.

The sale runs online and offsite, managed by Ross’s out of Perth, with the auction closing 30 October 2026. Inspect condition and service history carefully, factor in freight from the Gulf, and check each lot’s terms before bidding.

Everything here is unused, which takes the usual guesswork out of buying second-hand plant gear. The 2026 LYALS ALSM12 mini excavator headlines the lineup, with the LYALS ALS680 attachments covering a hydraulic breaker, post driver and excavator ripper for skid steer setups.

With 13 lots and no reserves, the sale suits buyers looking to kit out a skid steer or add a compact excavator without paying new retail. Attachments like breakers and post drivers do the heavy lifting on fencing, demolition and site prep, so check the specs against your machine’s flow and coupler requirements before bidding.

Inspection details and pickup terms are listed on the Grays page. The auction closes 4 November 2026.

This is a plant hire and contractors clearance, which means the mix leans toward gear that earns its keep: mini excavators and Kangaroo and Toro mini loaders with attachments, scissor lifts, and scaffold towers. Painters trestles and planks are in there too, handy if you’re kitting out a crew rather than a single site.

The trailer lineup is worth a look on its own, with an excellent range of hire and plant trailers listed. Add concrete cutting saws and grinders and you’ve got the core of a small contracting setup in one auction.

Close date is still to be confirmed, so check the listing for timing before you plan a bid.

This is a multi-lot online auction run by Lloyds Auctions, with plant and equipment sitting alongside vehicles, jewellery, collectables and general goods across the catalogue. For buyers chasing working gear rather than collectables, the plant section is the drawcard.

The excavators are listed as unused 2026 models: two Rippa R319 units and an R10 mini excavator. The generator range covers 15, 25, 40 and 62.5 KVA diesel units, so there is a size to suit a small site or a larger standby power setup. Fuel storage is well covered too, with one 980L tank and four 400L tanks, all unused.

Everything closes Thursday 5 November 2026. Inspect the lot details and condition notes on each listing before you bid, particularly on the generators where output and configuration vary across the range.

This is a tight, focused plant lot rather than a mixed clearance. Every item is unused, and most carry 2026 build dates, so you are looking at fresh stock rather than ex-site machines with hours on them.

The HELI brand dominates the list: a 3.5 ton forklift, two 2.5 ton forklifts and two pallet trucks, with a single JAC CPCD30 breaking the pattern. If you need matched capacity across a yard or warehouse, the two identical 2.5 ton HELI units are the obvious pair to chase.

Lloyds runs this as a multi-lot online auction, so each machine is bid on separately. Check capacities against what you actually need to lift before you commit, and confirm the pallet truck specs, since the listing notes are brief on those two.

The keyword here is "mostly unreserved". Most of the catalogue sells regardless of price, which changes how you bid. You are not trying to beat a reserve, you are trying to beat everyone else in the room.

The spread covers trucks, trailers, light vehicles and general plant, so there is something for transport operators, earthworks crews and anyone chasing a cheap runabout or work ute. Condition and inspection details will matter more than the lot list alone.

Martin Auctioneers and Valuers runs industrial and commercial asset auctions Australia-wide, so expect the usual terms: inspect before you bid, confirm what is included with each lot, and sort your transport before the hammer falls.

This is a broad national sale rather than a single-site clearance, so the catalogue pulls together construction, earthmoving and agricultural equipment from multiple Pickles branches. Expect a mix of excavators, skid steers, tractors, telehandlers, tippers and support gear, with condition reports attached to each lot.

Salvage listings often mean cosmetic or mechanical damage, so read the notes and photos carefully before bidding. For buyers chasing work-ready gear, the agricultural and earthmoving lots are worth a close look, while the construction and truck listings suit anyone after parts or a project machine.

Bidding runs online only and closes 9 November 2026. Inspection arrangements and pickup details vary by location, so check each lot’s branch information before committing.

This is a broad plant and transport clearance running online through Lloyds Auctions, with bidding open across the country. The plant side is the drawcard: a 2019 JCB 540V140 telehandler with enclosed cabin, a 2021 UHI LG930 wheel loader, and a spread of Bobcat gear including a 2023 T590 compact track loader and E50z, E20 and Yanmar ViO80-1 excavators, most on rubber tracks. For warehouse and yard work there’s a Crown W2T110 electric walkie stacker rated to 1,000kg and a Clark C500Y300D diesel forklift.

Transport buyers get a 2001 Iveco EuroTech 6×4 prime mover, a 2003 Freightliner Century Class C112 6×4, a 2001 Hino FB4J cab chassis and a 1990 Freighter tri-axle low loader. The sale also includes vehicles, jewellery, collectables and general goods, so it pays to read each lot listing closely. Inspect condition and service history before bidding, particularly on the older trucks and low loader.

This Pickles sale spreads small plant and machinery across multiple sites in VIC and TAS, so check each lot’s location before you bid. The mix leans industrial: a Servex 60T hydraulic press and a Kasto horizontal saw suit a workshop setup, while the RAMFOS TF25-BA rock breaker and the 2015 The Trailer Factory EHD cover earthmoving and transport.

The Railtech gear stands out for anyone buying in bulk. Multiple lots of 36 One Shot Crucibles appear alongside a Railtech Startwel unit, which points to a rail or welding supplier clearing stock rather than a one-off sale.

Forklift buyers get two options: a Crown FC4500 and a 2008 Hyster H4.00DX. With 12+ lots listed and an online close on 10 November 2026, inspect the condition reports and confirm pickup logistics for your state before committing.

Pickles has pulled together a mixed bag of workshop machinery, small tooling and groundcare equipment from sellers across Victoria and Tasmania. The catalogue is compact at 12 lots, but there is decent variety for anyone outfitting a shed or farm workshop. The Myford cylindrical grinder is the pick for metalwork types, while the 2008 Olympian GEP165 generator offers a portable power option for site or property use.

Groundcare buyers get plenty to work with. A Toro Z Master zero-turn mower leads that side of the sale, backed by a fleet of Stihl gear: the MS 661 C appears twice, alongside an MS 461, MS 441C and a smaller 009 chainsaw. There is also an MSA 140 C battery saw, a BR 600 backpack blower and a BG 86C blower.

Other lots include four plastic roadside barriers measuring roughly 2000mm x 850mm x 570mm, useful for traffic control or yard demarcation. The sale is online and closes 11 November 2026, with lots held across multiple locations, so check each listing for inspection and pickup details before bidding.

This is a national salvage sale, so the catalogue pulls together heavy plant and farm gear from several sites rather than one yard. That spread means you will need to check the location of each lot before bidding, but it also opens up a mix you rarely see in a single auction.

The excavator and dozer lots carry the weight: a 2023 Sumitomo SH300-6, a Kobelco SK210LC-10, a 2004 Caterpillar D9R and a 2008 Komatsu WA150-5 loader. On the ag side there is a 2016 New Holland T7.230 and a 2018 John Deere 6195R, plus a Ferris 400S mower and a Morris 9365ICT.

Salvage condition applies across the board, so inspect before you bid. The newer machines, particularly the 2023 Sumitomo and the 2018 Ammann roller, are worth a close look if you are chasing late-model gear at salvage pricing.

This is a working-gear auction, the kind that suits operators topping up the attachment rack or picking up a second machine without stretching the budget. The EAT hydraulic rock saw is the standout for excavator owners, spec’d at 1830mm with an 80mm pin, 465mm ear and 440mm centre, and it comes with a stand, though there’s various rust noted. Excavator arms to suit Hitachi ZX240-3 and Komatsu PC130 are also in the mix, along with a hitch.

Beyond the heavy gear there’s site infrastructure and equipment: a site shed, a container dome with igloo, and a mobile lunchroom from 2017 Rollers Australia. A 2025 Yale MR16 and a 2019 Sureweld SW4100E round out the newer end of the catalogue, alongside a 2009 Tucker, a homemade unit and an unbranded item.

Lots are spread across various locations in NSW and the ACT, so check each listing for where the item sits before you commit. The auction closes 16 November 2026.

This is a practical clearance for anyone outfitting a landscaping crew or workshop. Wacker Neuson features heavily: the MP70 and WP1550 plate compactors and a petrol flex drive unit sit alongside a BS62Y tamper rammer, covering compaction work from trench edges to full plates.

Stihl dominates the blower lineup with the BG56, SH56C, BR600 backpack and BGA 85 battery model, plus a Husqvarna 125BV for good measure. A Crommelins CC90R compactor rounds out the groundcare side.

For heavier work, there’s an Aussie Buckets ABHRB-190 rock breaker dated 04/2023, a late-model attachment worth a look. Lots are spread across multiple locations, so check the individual lot details for inspection and pickup before bidding.

This is a practical sale for anyone kitting out a workshop or topping up a plant fleet. The Hangcha forklift is the newest piece in the lineup at 2021, while the two Mikasa MT-65HA trench rammers cover compaction work and the Oz bucket, quick hitch, Bobcat dozer blade and TE heavy duty attachment sort out the excavator side of things.

Trailer options come via a 2017 John Papas unit and a 2008 Modern Trailer, with a Roche Bros push blade and cutting wheel adding earthmoving gear to the mix. A Petro industrial diesel tank and a coil of plastic pipe round out the listing for buyers chasing site infrastructure.

Lots are spread across various SA and NT locations, so check each item’s site before bidding. Online bidding closes 18 November 2026.

This is a mixed industrial and plant sale spread over multiple locations, so check the lot details for where each item sits before you bid. The woodworking gear is the drawcard: an SCM Pratika 310mMFV CNC routing machine and a 2021 SCM ME40TR edgebander are both late-model pieces, and the pallet of SCM bench saw tooling (Model S116) plus two Holytek dust collectors would suit anyone setting up or topping up a shop.

Groundcare and site gear round out the list. There’s a Hustler Raptor SD mower, a platform/catwalk assembly, a storage container, assorted shipping crates, various tyres and rims, a crate of filters and four bus seats.

Ten Metro Count 5600 Plus traffic counters are also listed, which is an unusual line worth a look if that’s your field. With 12+ lots and multiple locations, confirm collection logistics for each item before the 18 November close.

Ross’s runs regular online, live and in-house auctions out of Perth, and this Karratha sale sits alongside its usual flow of machinery, business closure stock and vehicles. The Gap Ridge Estate showroom is the pickup point for the eight lots on offer.

Plant and equipment buyers should check the lot list for specifics on make, model and condition before bidding. With a November close, there’s time to inspect and line up transport from the Pilbara.

Ross’s runs regular online, live and in-house auctions out of Perth, and this Muchea sale pulls together transport, haulage and mining equipment in one catalogue. The yard sits on Great Northern Highway, so heavy gear is right at home here.

The mix suits operators looking to add working plant or clear a gap in the fleet. Mining and haulage equipment tends to move quickly at these sales, so review the lot list and condition reports before bidding closes on 10 November.

Ross’s also handles WA Police forfeited items, machinery, business closures and vehicles across its auction program, which means catalogues can shift between sales. Check the full listing for what’s actually on offer at Muchea.

This is Sale #3040, run by sbauction out of Midland, WA. The house specialises in unreserved sales of light vehicles, machinery and industrial equipment, so everything on the block goes to the highest bidder regardless of price.

For anyone chasing earthmoving plant, this is the category to watch. The lots sit squarely in plant and equipment territory, the kind of gear that suits contractors, earthworks operators and anyone building out a fleet.

It closes 12 November 2026. Inspection details and the full lot list are worth checking early if you want to line up finance or transport before bidding.

This is a traditional Karratha auction with real variety: light commercial vehicles, heavy trucks, and plant machinery all in one sale. The mix suits everyone from site operators needing a reliable ute to contractors after earthmoving gear. Ross’s runs regular online, live and in-house auctions out of Perth, and their stock often includes WA Police forfeited items, business closure stock and fleet vehicles, so there’s genuine turnover rather than the same tired lots.

Standout categories here are the light vehicles and plant. Mining-spec 4WDs and traybacks take a beating, so check service history and hours carefully. On the machinery side, loaders, excavators and tip trucks are the big-ticket items, and condition will vary lot to lot. Inspect in person at the Karratha showroom before bidding if you can, and confirm what’s included with each lot, attachments and rego aren’t a given.

The sale closes Saturday 14 November 2026. With business closures and fleet turnover feeding this auction, there’s scope to pick up working gear at sensible money, provided you do your homework on hours, compliance and transport costs back from the Pilbara.

This is a compact Perth sale, 12 lots plus, and it leans practical: forklifts, trailers and the sort of gear that earns its keep on a small site. The 2025 Caterpillar DP30PT is the newest machine in the lineup and worth a look if you need a late-model forklift, with the 2015 Toyota 72-8FDJ35 sitting alongside it as a solid older option.

Trailer stock covers a few bases. There’s a 2013 John Papas Trailers build, a 2020 Boz Built, a 2019 Wandering Star and 2016 Bartco units, plus a 2024 SAM (WA) PTY LTD item for anyone chasing something near new. A 2013 Good Will Engineering unit rounds out the plant side.

Storage and support gear is in the mix too: a water tank, a fuel tank with side ladder, and a 20ft sea container fitted with metal railings and barriers. The container alone has obvious use as a lockable site store. Inspection before bidding is the smart move on the trailers and tanks, where condition varies most.

This Perth online sale suits anyone kitting out a workshop or topping up on groundcare gear. The WEG W21 11kW three-phase brake motors are vertical mount units rated 1480RPM at 400V, and two are listed. The 2020 HIMAC GR220/70UN hydraulic tree puller with wheel kit is the standout for land clearing work, and the Endurequip RUD075-1600 hoists cover the lifting side.

Smaller lots include a Bulls dual hose reel spray system with poly tank, engine driven pump and twin spray guns, two industrial work benches with wood tops, an industrial pipe roller and a Holmatro hydraulic rescue ram with high-pressure hose. There are also Genuine Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series front side rails and various hub caps for the 4WD crowd.

One to note before you bid: a 2024 STIHL HT 106 telescopic petrol pole saw is tagged out for a bent shaft and sold damaged and incomplete. The MowMaster petrol lawn edger with Honda engine rounds out the groundcare kit.

This is an unreserved auction, so everything sells regardless of price. That suits buyers chasing light vehicles, machinery and industrial equipment without the usual reserve games.

Midland sits at the eastern edge of the Perth metro, handy for anyone in the metro area or heading out along Great Eastern Highway. sbauction runs these sales regularly, so the catalogue tends to turn over with fresh stock each time.

Check the lot list for what’s actually on offer and inspect before bidding. With no reserves in play, condition and inspection matter more than the guide price.

This is a regular unreserved sale from sbauction, so everything is selling to the highest bidder with no reserve price holding things back. That makes it a solid hunting ground for tradies, small builders, and anyone looking to pick up gear for a fair price.

The lot list points to a mix of small construction equipment, light vehicles, and industrial bits and pieces. If you need a ute, a trailer, or a compact machine to get a job done, this is the sort of auction where you can snag something without fighting dealer markups. The Midland location means easy access for Perth buyers and regional operators alike.

Check the close date and get your bids in early. With no reserves, the bargains will go to whoever is ready to move.

This is a straight-up unreserved sale, so everything from the Pilbara branch needs a new home. The ex-mine vehicles are the headline grabbers: expect heavy-use gear that still has life left for the right buyer. The DAF truck is a standout for transport operators, while the Toyota LandCruisers will suit anyone needing a tough 4WD for site work or farm access.

The plant-equipment section includes dozers and loaders from CAT and Komatsu, plus support gear like generators and workshop tools. If you’re after mining-spec machinery without the new price tag, this is the one to watch. Check the photos carefully for service history and wear, as these units have worked hard. Bidding closes 17 June.

This unreserved sale from sbauction in Midland WA covers more than just farm gear. The lot list includes a mix of utes, trucks, and four-wheel drives, plus compressors, generators, and welding plant. There are also trailers, forklifts, and earthmoving attachments worth a look.

Buyers should check the condition reports closely, as items are sold as-is. The auction runs until 4 June 2026, so there is time to inspect before bidding. If you need a work ute or a decent tractor for a rural property, this is one to watch.

This sbauction sale at Midland WA covers a solid spread of plant equipment for operators and contractors. Beyond the main loaders and excavators, there’s a 2016 Caterpillar 420F2 backhoe loader, a 2017 Case 721F wheel loader, and a 2012 Hitachi ZX70-5 excavator. Support gear includes a 2014 Isuzu NPS 300 tray truck, a 2015 Toyota HiAce van, and a 2014 Ford Ranger XLT dual cab.

Buyers should note the sale includes a 2016 Kobelco SK210-10 excavator and a 2015 JCB 3CX backhoe. For site prep, there’s a 2015 Caterpillar CS54B vibratory roller and a 2014 Hamm HD12VV tandem roller. The lot list also shows a 2015 Komatsu WA270 wheel loader and a 2016 Hitachi ZX135US-5 excavator. All items appear to be offered without reserve, so check the inspection times if you want to kick the tyres before bidding closes on 5 August 2026.

This sale covers the typical sbauction mix of light industrial assets that move quickly. The Kanga Mini Loader with attachments is a standout for landscapers and small site operators, while the John Deere tractor suits hobby farms or rural blocks. Several transportables and site boxes are listed, ideal for secure on-site storage.

The catalogue also includes a selection of attachments like augers and buckets, plus general workshop gear. With no reserve on any lot, bidding starts from the first dollar. Inspection is available on the day before the close, so factor that in if you need to check running gear or tyre condition.

This is a classic sbauction clearance, the kind where you can grab a working machine without the dealer premium. The lot list leans toward the practical end, with smaller excavators and skid steers likely to draw the tradies, while the agricultural side should pull in hobby farmers and small-block owners chasing a bargain on tillage gear or a secondhand spray unit.

The transportable buildings are the wildcard here. Whether you need a site shed, a hay shed, or something to lock the tools away in, they tend to sell well under replacement cost. Check the condition notes carefully, as some may need a bit of work or a permit for your location.

Buyers should factor in the usual auction costs and organise transport before bidding, as Midland is well-serviced but not exactly central. If you’re chasing a specific attachment, watch the lot list closely, as these sales often mix in oddball items that get overlooked.

This is a straight-up unreserved sale, so the starting bids will be where the action is. The earthmoving focus means you’re looking at the kind of kit that usually holds its value hard, but without a reserve, the market sets the pace. If you’re after a second machine for a growing fleet or need something specific for a project, this is a chance to pick it up without the dealer floor markup.

Among the lots, keep an eye out for compact and mid-size excavators, plus wheel loaders that show genuine work hours. There’s also likely to be attachments like buckets and rippers, which often get overlooked but can be the difference between a good buy and a great one. Check the photos for wear on tracks and pins, and factor in transport to site.

The auction closes on 26 September, so you’ve got time to do your homework. sbauction runs these sales regularly, so if the right machine isn’t here, the next one’s never far off. But if you see a unit that fits, don’t leave it to the last minute.
