FAQ
What does Pickles specialise in?
Pickles is best known for commercial vehicle auctions including cars, trucks, fleet, and salvage, but, to a lesser degree, also plant and equipment, industrial surplus, and general goods. They operate nationally with major facilities in every state.
How do I register to bid at Pickles?
Register online at pickles.com.au. You’ll need ID verification and, for some categories, a refundable deposit. Registration is free and covers all their online and in-room sales.
What buyer’s premium does Pickles charge?
Typically 10–15% plus GST for vehicles, 15% for general goods. The exact rate is disclosed on each lot page, some lot types may incur an additional fee (eg. EVs), so, always check before bidding.
Does Pickles offer transport for purchased vehicles?
Yes. Pickles has a freight coordination service. Alternatively, you can arrange your own transport, which may be cheaper, and most vehicle transport companies are familiar with collecting from Pickles facilities.
Trends & Insights
Pickles is leaning hard into structured, recurring volume. The introduction of a new weekly Heavy Motor Salvage (HMS) schedule from August 2026 signals a strategic shift to give buyers consistent access to trucks and heavy equipment rather than sporadic one-off sales (pickles.com.au, Aug 17). This dovetails with the ongoing NSW/ACT Salvage Vehicle Auctions running Tuesday to Friday at 9:30am AEST, where Queensland stock alone has surpassed 800 items, including repairable write-offs like the 2023 Hyundai Staria and Toyota Landcruiser (pickles.com.au, Aug 14). The sheer consistency of that calendar is the real story here, it is not just volume, it is predictable supply.
Government and institutional channels remain the bedrock of the wholesale pipeline. VicFleet continues its weekly Tuesday 10am auctions through Pickles as sole supplier, meaning ex-government fleet disposals are feeding the used car market with relentless regularity (buyingfor.vic.gov.au, Feb 17). At the other end of the spectrum, the National Luxury Car Auction on 24 August at 6pm AEST via PicklesLIVE is pulling prestige metal from financial institutions and fleets, with the 2015 Ferrari 458 Speciale headlining alongside Bentley and Porsche entries (pickles.com.au, Aug 17). That sourcing mix, from fleet-spec to exotic, shows how broad the consignment base actually is.
Industrial buyers get their window later this month with the National Waste & Recycling Auction running 25-27 August, featuring Iveco, Isuzu, and Volvo trucks and sweepers (pickles.com.au, Aug 17). Meanwhile, the Q2 2026 Quarterly Automotive Report has landed, and it is squarely focused on EV market dynamics, with battery testing services now being offered at auction sites to underpin that segment (pickles.com.au, Aug 17). That is a practical hedge, if you are bidding on electric stock, you now have a verifiable condition baseline before the hammer drops.
Buyers should watch the luxury auction on Monday night for signs of softening reserve prices on high-end European metal, as institutional consignors look to clear stock before spring.

Rod’s Tips
Pickles’ insurance write-off sales are held on a regular cycle. Their insurance partner program produces consistent supply of salvage vehicles. If you’re in the market for repairable write-offs, check their salvage category weekly.
Fleet vehicle lots from Pickles are generally well-documented. Corporate and rental fleet disposals typically include service history and odometer verification. These are among the lower-risk purchases available through auction.
Use their “watch” feature to track lots before the auction opens. Pickles allows you to save lots you’re interested in. This also lets you set maximum bids in advance rather than trying to monitor a live clock.
No Inspections. Pickles facilities, sadly, do not offer in-person inspections, leaving you to rely on photos and their condition report.

Ex Mining – Light Vehicles, Trailers, Trucks & auxiliary equipment
More detail
This is a straight-from-site clearance, so the gear has been worked hard but maintained to mining specs. The light vehicle list includes multiple LandCruiser 200 Series and 70 Series wagons, plus a few dual-cab utes. On the truck side, look for Isuzu FTR and FV series tray trucks, along with a Kenworth T909 prime mover if you need serious hauling capacity.
Trailer selection covers flatbed and drop-deck units, including a 40-tonne tri-axle low loader. Auxiliary equipment rounds out the catalogue with generators, light towers, and fuel tanks. All items are located in Brisbane, so inspection is straightforward before the close date on 20 August 2026. Buyers should factor in the ex-mining condition and plan for any compliance work needed if putting them back on public roads.

Mining Liquidation – Crushers, Loaders, Grader, Franna Crane, Light Commercials
More detail
This is a full plant dispersal from a mining operation. The standout is the Franna crane, a mobile unit built for tight sites. Crushers include jaw and cone models, likely from major OEMs. Loaders range from mid-size to production class, with a grader for haul road maintenance.
Light commercials cover utes and service trucks, useful for site support or resale. Everything is sold as-is, so inspect before bidding. The close date is 29 July 2026, giving you time to arrange a site visit in Rockhampton.

National Online Commercial Vehicle Sale
More detail
This is a solid spread of work-ready utes and vans, with most of the heavy hitters from the 2022 model year. The 2022 Hilux SR and 2022 Ford Ranger XLT are the obvious drawcards for tradies wanting late-model reliability without the dealership wait. The Isuzu D-MAX SX is another strong pick, known for its towing capacity and no-fuss diesel drivetrain.
If you need something with a bit more cabin space, the 2019 Hyundai iMax Active is a left-field option, and the Mercedes-Benz Vito covers the van side for courier or service work. Older units like the 2013 Triton GL-R and 2017 Renault Master are worth a look if you’re chasing a budget workhorse. Bidding closes on 20 August 2026, so get your inspection sorted early. Pickles has the details on each lot, including condition reports and photos, so check those before you commit.
-

National Online Hybrid & Electric Motor Vehicle Sale
More detail
This national online sale is a decent cross-section of the current new and used EV market, from dedicated battery-electric models to the hybrid family favourites that dominate Australian driveways. The headline acts are the 2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range and the 2023 BYD Atto 3 Extended, both of which are relatively recent builds and should draw plenty of attention. For those after a pure EV city runabout, the 2020 Nissan LEAF is a cheaper entry point, though the 2025 Toyota BZ4X is the wildcard for anyone wanting a near-new factory EV warranty.
On the hybrid side, there’s a strong run of Toyota metal, including a 2021 Corolla Ascent Sport, a 2022 Corolla SX, a 2021 RAV4 GX, a 2022 RAV4 Cruiser, and a 2025 Kluger GX. The Kluger is the standout for families, while the RAV4 Cruiser is likely to be popular given the ongoing demand for that model. Subaru is represented by two 2021 and 2023 Forester Hybrid S variants, and there’s also a 2021 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV if you want plug-in capability without going full electric.
Pickles is running this as a national online sale, so buyers can bid from anywhere, but factor in transport costs from the relevant location. With 12 lots confirmed and a mix of years and mileage, it’s worth checking the condition reports carefully, especially on the ex-fleet cars. The 2025 models
-

National Online Prestige Auction
More detail
This National Online Prestige Auction is a single-lot affair, and it’s all about the Audi A5 45 TFSI. The 2021 model brings the turbocharged four-cylinder punch, quattro all-wheel drive, and that sleek coupe body that still turns heads. It’s a solid pick for someone wanting a late-model luxury daily driver with decent performance chops.
The A5 45 TFSI sits above the base 40 TFSI, so you’re getting more grunt under the bonnet. Pickles runs this as a national online event, meaning bidding is open across the country, and the location is listed as Various Locations, NAT, so check the listing for pickup details before you commit. Given it’s a single vehicle auction, don’t expect a long list of extras, but the condition and service history will be key. Get your inspection done early and factor in the buyer’s premium when setting your top bid.
-

National Government, Fleet Lease & Other Vehicles
More detail
This is a genuine fleet clearance, so the history is what you’d expect from government and lease vehicles: regular servicing and plenty of highway kays. The headline act is the 2022 Ford Ranger Wildtrak, which is the pick of the utes if you want the features without paying showroom price. The two 2022 Hilux SRs are the safe bets, while the 2021 Pajero Sport Exceed gives you a proper 4WD with seven seats and the 2.4-litre turbo diesel.
Don’t overlook the soft-roaders and sedans. The 2024 Mazda CX-3 G20 is nearly new and would suit a first car or a city runabout, and the 2022 Kia Cerato S is a cheap, reliable commuter. The 2022 Ford Everest Trend is the family hauler with serious towing capability, and the two 2021 Ranger XLs are workhorse spec, ideal for tradies or farm use.
Check the photos and condition reports carefully, as fleet vehicles can carry cosmetic wear, but mechanicals are usually sound. Bidding is spread across various locations, so factor in transport costs if the lot you want isn’t in your state. Close date is 20 August 2026, so there’s time to do your homework on rego and service records.
-

National Corporate, Fleet and Finance Vehicle Auction
More detail
This one is a classic Pickles national clearance, pulling ex-fleet stock from corporate and finance sources. The standout is the 2024 Ford Everest Trend, which is about as close to new as you will find at auction, while the 2022 Toyota Landcruiser Prado GX and the 2003 Landcruiser Sahara give the four-wheel-drive crowd plenty to consider. If you need a workhorse, the 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and the 2012 Hyundai iLoad are both on the list, and the 2015 Holden Colorado LTZ slots in as a solid tradie ute.
Buyers should note this is a multi-location sale, so check the specific pickup point for each lot before bidding. The 2019 Mazda CX-5 Maxx and the 2018 Nissan X-Trail ST are typical family SUVs that usually go for sensible money in these corporate clearances, while the pair of Ceratos are cheap, reliable runabouts. Finance and fleet cars are generally serviced on schedule, but they cop plenty of kms, so budget for tyres and a service if you are buying sight unseen.

National Commercial and Ex-mining Vehicle Auction
More detail
The pick of the bunch is the 2022 Ford Ranger XL and the 2022 Toyota Hilux Workmate, both ideal for tradies or fleet operators looking for late-model gear without the showroom price. There’s also a 2021 Ranger XLT in there, which offers a bit more comfort for daily duties, while the 2013 Landcruiser Workmate and 2014 Prado GX cater to those needing serious towing or off-road capability.
The ex-mining background on some units means they’ve likely copped a hard life, so factor in a thorough inspection before bidding. With locations spread across the country, buyers can bid from anywhere, but remember pickup costs and logistics will vary depending on where each vehicle is sitting. Registration status isn’t confirmed across the board, so check individual listings if you need something road-ready immediately.
-

National Corporate, Fleet and Finance Vehicle Auction
More detail
Pickles is running this one as a national clearance, so the stock spans city and regional sites rather than a single yard. That means buyers need to factor in collection logistics, but it also opens up chances to grab a clean ex-fleet car without fighting a packed local crowd.
The vans and utes are the headline act here. The 2023 Iveco Daily and 2023 Renault Master Pro are solid choices for tradies or couriers chasing a late-model workhorse, while the 2022 Mitsubishi Triton GLX and 2022 Isuzu D-MAX SX cover the dual-cab end. Petrol and hybrid buyers aren’t left out: the 2020 Camry Ascent and 2022 Camry Ascent Sport are typical low-stress fleet sedans, and the Niro Hybrid offers a cheap entry into fuel-sipping motoring.
Check the individual lot listings for condition reports and any service history, because ex-fleet stock varies from pristine to “used hard.” With a 2026 close date, there’s no urgency, but the good ones tend to firm up early in the bidding.
-

National Online Motor Vehicle Auction
More detail
This one’s a proper mixed bag, with something for just about anyone. The modern end is well covered by a 2025 Hyundai Kona and a 2024 Kia Cerato GT, both likely still under factory warranty and ideal if you want late-model reliability without paying showroom prices. Families get a look at the 2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport SD4 and the 2014 Nissan Pathfinder ST, while the 2016 Mitsubishi Triton GLX and the 2008 Ford Ranger XL cater to the ute crowd.
The older Toyotas are worth a hard look. The 2012 Hilux Workmate and the 2007 Hilux SR are the sort of units that cop a flogging on site but keep going, and auction prices often reflect that. The 2016 Holden Cruze Z-Series is a bit of a wildcard, but if you know the model’s quirks, it could be a cheap runabout.
Pickles is running this one nationally, so check the listing for pickup locations and any condition reports before you bid. With 12 lots on the slate, it’s a manageable catalogue, so take the time to compare the service history on the Subarus and the Fortuner. Set your limit, factor in the buyer’s premium, and bid accordingly.

Various Location Honda Postie Bike Clearance
More detail
This is a straight fleet-style clearance, and the appeal is in the consistency. You’re looking at the workhorse C110 platform, the same bike Australia Post relied on for decades. If you’re after a cheap commuter, a farm runabout, or a base for a restoration project, this is a rare chance to grab a proven, low-stress machine without the usual dealer overhead.
The lot list is heavy on the 2021 C110X, which is a good sign for anyone wanting a newer example. There are also several 2016 and 2017 Super Cub C110s in the mix, so you can pick your year and condition. With 12+ lots spread across various locations, you can target the one closest to you or bid on a few and sort out transport later.
Check each listing for specifics like odometer readings and condition notes, but expect these to be ex-fleet bikes with honest wear. They’re not showroom queens, they’re riders. If you’ve ever wanted a Postie Bike without paying collector prices, this clearance is worth a serious look.
-

National Online Salvage Construction, Earthmoving & Agricultural Equipment
More detail
The pick of the lot is likely the Volvo L60F, a proper mid-sized wheel loader that usually holds its value well if the salvage damage is cosmetic. The Dressta TD-20M is a serious bit of iron for anyone needing a full-size dozer, while the three Kobelco SK80-series excavators offer options for buyers chasing a compact unit with decent reach. If you need something smaller, the 2014 Kalmar DCF 410CSG container forklift and the 2023 Hyundai 25LE-7 are both listed, covering heavy industrial and warehouse duties.
Salvage titles mean you need to do your homework on why each unit is here. Some gear may have been written off for minor panel damage, while others could have mechanical or structural issues. The 2014 Rover Z-Force LZ48 mower and the Toyota Huski 30-5SDK8 are worth a look for lighter jobs, but factor in inspection time and potential repair costs before you bid. With 12 lots spread across various national locations, check the specific pickup point for each item, as freight could add up quickly if you’re buying multiple pieces.

VIC/TAS Small Plant & Machinery, Earthmoving Attachments & Trailers (Online)
More detail
This online auction spreads the gear across several sites, so factor in pickup logistics before you bid. The Bomag compactor is a solid entry for anyone doing site prep or roadwork, and the hours are reasonable for its age. The Genie Z-34/22 is the standout for access work, a machine that holds its value if the battery and lift systems check out.
Trailer buyers get a decent spread: two 2022 Classic Trailers CE2000s, a 2021 CE2000, and an 8X5HD from the same builder, plus a 1998 King Towbars unit. There’s also a wine or fruit processing drum, a Forza concrete trowel, and a couple of unknowns that could go cheap if you’re willing to inspect. With 12+ lots, it’s a manageable sale, not a marathon. Bid with pickup costs in mind and inspect where you can, especially on the older gear.
-

VIC/TAS Workshop Machinery, Small Tooling, & Groundcare Equipment (Online)
More detail
This one’s got a solid spread for anyone setting up or topping up a workshop. The YILMAZ up-cutting saw is the headline act for metal fab work, while the Rottler milling and surfacing machine suits engine reconditioning or precision jobs. The SERVEX hydraulic press and Serdi pressure tester round out the heavier gear, so there’s real value for trade buyers, not just hobbyists.
On the lighter side, there’s a Milwaukee combo kit, an assortment of electric and petrol drills, and 10 x 285W Arlec pedestal fans to keep the shed cool. The lot list also throws in four plastic road side barriers (2000mm x 850mm x 570mm approx) and a Fantech vertical exhaust roof duct, which are handy for site work or ventilation setups.
Bidding closes on 2 September 2026, with the sale running online from various locations. Lot count is listed at 12+, so expect a few more additions before close. Check the full catalogue for condition reports and pickup details, especially since the gear is spread across multiple sites.

Melbourne Salvage Vehicles
More detail
The mix here is heavier on late-model metal than your typical salvage sale. The Mercedes GLB200 and Audi SQ5 are the headline euro pair, but the real value could sit with the workhorses: the 2016 Hilux SR and 2014 Holden Colorado LX are exactly the sort of utes buyers chase for parts or a rebuild. Petrol heads will spot the two 2012 Ford Falcons, including an XR6, which are getting harder to find in any condition.
Smaller commuters like the 2017 Hyundai i30 Active, 2018 Holden Astra RS, and 2022 Kia Stonic Sport round out the affordable end. The 2016 Renault Master van adds a commercial option if you need something with more space.
Check the damage reports before bidding, as is standard for salvage stock. The auction closes August 20, and with 12 lots confirmed, you’ll want to inspect in person at the Tullamarine yard if possible. Registration and deposit details are on the Pickles site.

Orbost Civil & Civic Earthmoving, Attachments & General Goods
More detail
This sale pulls together a practical spread of civil and civic gear, heavy on attachments that often get overlooked but cost a fortune new. The earthmoving side looks like the main draw, with buckets and rippers that could bolt straight onto common excavator models, plus general goods that round out a working site.
For buyers, the mix suggests a cleared yard or depot, which usually means negotiable condition and realistic starting prices. If you need spare steel for a job coming up, this is worth a look before the 17 September close. Check the photos carefully for wear on cutting edges and mounting points, and factor in freight from Melbourne if you’re not local.

Sydney Online Unreserved International Imported Freight Clearance
More detail
This one’s a proper lucky dip, the kind of clearance where you’re digging through boxes to find the score. The lot list is all over the shop, which is the appeal. There’s a smart POS machine, an OXO Good Grip ice bucket set, a bucket of MB-14 refining honing powder, and an LED neon light decoration. Automotive parts, cosmetics, clothes, toys, it’s all there in assorted boxes, plus a batch of unbranded white bucket hats, plastic bags, and gloves.
For anyone after workshop consumables or flip potential, the honing powder and roller could be the sleeper lots. The watch and bangle are worth a look if you’re chasing something for a gift or a quick resale. Everything’s unreserved, so bidding stays honest, but that also means the boxes of mixed goods could go either way. Sort through the lot list before the close date on 23 August and pick your battles.

NSW State Govt. & Council Surplus Machinery, Equipment & Various Goods
More detail
The Stihl lot is the pick of the bunch for anyone maintaining large blocks or working in horticulture. You’ve got an HLA 65 battery-powered hedge trimmer, a BG 86C petrol blower, an FS 131 brushcutter, and a BT 131 auger. That’s a solid four-piece kit for clearing, planting, and tidying up, and government surplus usually means they’ve been serviced on a schedule, not run into the ground.
Beyond the garden gear, there’s some practical stuff for the workshop and site. The 400mm and 250mm digging buckets will suit mini excavator operators looking for spares, and the EMFLUX electromagnetic flowmeter is a niche find for anyone in irrigation or water testing. For the office or retail fit-out, there are two angled display stands with rear cupboard storage, plus a timber three-door display cupboard and a TV stand.
Pickles is running this one from Milperra, so it’s a Sydney pickup. With 12 lots listed and no reserve dramas typical of government auctions, the smart play is to sort out which Stihl unit you actually need and bid accordingly. The council gear tends to move cheap, but the good stuff gets attention late, so have your max number in mind before the timer runs down.

Horticultural Clearance Sale
More detail
This clearance covers the lot for anyone setting up or topping up a horticultural operation. The tractors span eras and sizes, from the classic 1970 MF 135 to the newer New Holland TN80FA, so there’s something for light orchard work or heavier paddock duties. The Iseki and Homebuilt units are worth a look if you need a secondary machine or a project.
On the implement side, the Bonel B18 spreader and the Interlink sprayer are practical buys for fertiliser and crop protection work. The Silvan poly spray tank and the skid-mounted poly tank are handy for water or chemical transfer, and the HESCO citrus bins suggest this sale is pulling from a working grove. Bidding closes 24 September, and with lots spread across various locations, check the listing details for pickup arrangements before you commit.

NT Online Salvage
More detail
This NT Online Salvage sale is a solid spread of late-model family SUVs and workhorse utes, with a few left-field options for the project crowd. The 2023 Mazda 3 and 2024 Haval H6 Ultra are the pick of the newer stock if you’re chasing a warranty-style rebuild, while the 2019 Landcruiser Workmate and 2016 Hilux are the usual suspects for parts or a straight fix-up. Petrol heads will clock the 2013 Toyota 86 GT, a car that usually sells on its chassis, not its condition, so check the damage report carefully.
Pickles is running this one from Winnellie, with the lot closing out on 24 August 2026. The 10 vehicles cover everything from the 2009 Triton and 2014 Suzuki SX4 to the 2016 Fortuner and 2008 Colt, so there’s something for every budget. Given the salvage tag, don’t expect a test drive. Factor in the Northern Territory location for transport costs and get your inspections done before bidding opens.

Adelaide Salvage Vehicles
More detail
The Salisbury Plain yard is clearing out a mixed bag of written-off and damaged stock, closing 21 August. Petrol hatches and SUVs dominate, but the 2004 Mazda E2000 van and the Ford Courier ute give tradies or parts buyers something to work with. The 2014 Hyundai ix35 Highlander and 2015 Ford Kuga are the pick of the newer SUVs, while the two Camry Altises and the Yaris offer cheap, familiar repair bases.
Check the damage reports carefully before bidding. Salvage listings vary wildly, and some of these older models, like the 2003 RAV4 and 2006 Camry, could be worth more in parts than as rebuilds. The Audi A4 is the one to watch if you’ve got European repair contacts, but don’t overlook the Mitsubishi Mirage for a low-cost fix-up. Pickles has the full condition notes and photos up, so do your homework before close.
