Electrical Contractors Liquidation Online Welshpool Auction
A liquidation sale for a Perth electrical contracting business is putting up a solid mix of workshop and site gear, with everything from a gas forklift to a diesel generator on the block. The auction is running out of Welshpool, and the 12-plus lots include Clark and Hisense gear, plus a heap of cabling and electrical fittings that could be handy for a tradie topping up stock.
-
Unreserved Mixed IT Equipment – #619
A stack of 93 lots of mixed IT gear is hitting the block in Jandakot, WA, with Grays running the show. The pick of the bunch includes CDM PRO Q570M-C units and Lenovo ThinkStation P330 towers, so there’s solid grunt here for anyone building out an office or workshop.
-
Sale #7018 – Pilbara Auction
A solid spread of light vehicles, machinery, and industrial gear is heading to auction in Midland WA, with sbauction running the show. The unreserved sale includes everything from work-ready utes and four-wheel drives to compressors, generators, and workshop tooling, so there’s decent pickings for tradies and hobby mechanics alike.
FAQ
Why does WA have so much ex-mining equipment at auction?
Western Australia’s resources sector regularly cycles out equipment at project end, during downturns, or when upgrading fleet. This produces a steady flow of well-maintained but heavily used plant through houses like Smith Boughton and Slattery.
Can I buy remotely and arrange freight from WA?
Yes. Most major auction houses offer freight coordination. Perth to Melbourne or Sydney for a vehicle is typically $1,200–$2,000 depending on size, get a quote and factor this into your maximum bid.
What buyer’s premium is standard in WA?
Typically 15–20% plus GST. Check the specific auctioneer’s terms as they vary between houses and sometimes between lot types.
Are there WA-specific auction houses worth following?
Ross’s definately. For specialist plant, SBA and Slattery frequently offer WA lots. Pickles and Manheim for vehicles.
Trends & Insights
Western Australia’s auction calendar is leaning heavily into vehicles and trade gear this week, with Perth’s salvage segment drawing particular attention. Pickles ran a Bibra Lake salvage sale on August 17 featuring late-model repairables and write-offs, including a 2025 Ford Ranger Raptor and a 2026 Toyota Landcruiser Sahara (Auction Finder, Aug 17). That mix of near-new utes and 4WDs hitting the salvage channel is a useful barometer for insurance write-off trends, and buyers chasing late-model parts or rebuild projects are clearly the target audience.
Grays is keeping the region busy with unreserved stock across two distinct categories. A Port Kennedy workshop clearance on August 19 put 57 lots of industrial and trade gear on the block, including ute trays specifically listed for VW Amarok and Isuzu D-MAX models (Auction Finder, Aug 19). Meanwhile, an 88-lot mixed IT equipment auction from Jandakot closes August 21, offering motherboards and assorted hardware online (Auction Finder, Aug 21). The no-reserve angle on the trade gear is the point of difference here, with workshop consumables moving without a safety net.
Regional WA is where the heavier metal sits this week. Ross’s Auctioneers heads to Kalgoorlie on August 22 with a combined vehicle and machinery sale featuring light vehicles, trucks, Caterpillar and Komatsu earthmoving plant, plus generators and workshop tools (Auction Finder, Aug 22). That is a solid one-stop event for mining services contractors and rural operators. Fleet activity remains steady too, with Pickles’ Western Australian Government Vehicle Auction and other motor vehicle lots from Grays and Slattery active out of Jandakot (Pickles Auctions / Auction Finder, Aug 17).
On the broader Perth market, property clearance ticked up to 33.3% from 22.2%, but that is on just nine auctions, a sample too thin to read as momentum (Cotality / Street News AU, Aug 20). With only 12 homes scheduled for the current week, the property side is effectively in hibernation. For buyers in the goods and equipment space, the Kalgoorlie machinery sale on Saturday is the standout, but keep an eye on late-week online closes from Grays for opportunistic bidding on IT and workshop lots.

Rod’s Tips
Ex-mining equipment can be a genuine value opportunity, if you know what you’re buying. High hours and harsh conditions are common. A pre-purchase inspection from a local mechanic or engineer is worth the cost on anything significant.
Perth estate sales are less competitive than east coast equivalents. The bidder pool is smaller, which can mean better prices for patient buyers on furniture, collectables, and household goods.
WA government fleet auctions produce clean, low-km vehicles. State fleet is typically well-maintained, with complete service records. Manheim and Pickles handle the bulk of these on a rolling schedule.
Check freight costs before bidding on large items. The tyranny of distance is real. A cheap tipper truck in Karratha may cost more to move to Perth than it’s worth.
Grays Online
Grays is fully online and active in WA. Regular lots include unused shelters and equipment, forklifts, and excavation equipment for WA pickup.

Pokémon & Yu-Gi-Oh! Lot – Graded, Rare, Vintage & Modern Holos
More detail
Grays is putting the hammer down on a curated collection of 23 lots that skew heavily toward high-grade Japanese vintage and modern holos. The headline act is the RPA Pristine 10 Japanese Charizard ex 006/165 from Pokémon 151, a card that rarely surfaces in this condition outside a sealed case. Alongside it, the Venusaur and Blastoise ex counterparts in the same grade make for a complete starter trio, which collectors tend to chase as a set.
Beyond the big three, there’s a Pristine 10 Japanese Pikachu 024/098, a solid pickup for anyone building a high-end Pikachu run. The rest of the catalogue mixes graded and raw Yu-Gi-Oh! holos, including vintage era cards that often carry hidden value if you know what to look for. Check the lot photos carefully, as condition varies on the raw items, but the graded pieces give you a safe anchor for bidding. Auction closes 23 August, and with only 23 lots, expect the serious bidders to pile onto the Charizard early.
-
Multi-Vendor Warehouse Sale – WA
More detail
This one’s a tidy pick-through for tradies, plumbers, and anyone kitting out a workshop on a budget. The standout lots are the cut-drum pipe fittings and flexible tubing hose pallet, plus a pallet of mixed couplings and bends that’ll save you a stack versus buying singles at the trade counter. There’s also a pallet of PVC airline and metal flanges, handy for compressed air setups or fabrication jobs.
Worth noting: the office and cleaning supplies pallet, which includes Oliver work boots, is a decent bet if you need consumables or workwear in bulk. Close date is still to be confirmed, so check the listing for the countdown. Everything’s located in Jandakot, and with 66 lots, it’s a smaller sale, so you won’t be wading through a sea of junk to find the good stuff.
-
Shelters, Tool Boxes, Generators, Workshop&More-WA (Unused)
More detail
The headline acts here are the big container shelters, built to take a beating and ready to bolt down. Four variations are listed, including models with end walls, so you can pick the footprint that suits a shed, storage bay, or temporary workshop without paying retail for new steel. If you need covered space in a hurry, these are the lots to measure up.
Beyond the shelters, the sale rounds out with generators and tool boxes, which suggests a cleanout of surplus stock rather than worn-out gear. Given the "unused" tag, condition should be straightforward, but check the photos for any transit damage or missing bits. Muchea is north of Perth, so factor in transport costs if you’re bidding from further afield. No close date confirmed yet, so watch the listing for the countdown.
-
Unreserved Multi-Vendor General Goods Auction
More detail
This is a straight-up unreserved clearance, so expect competitive bidding on the practical stuff. The HL80CLE water pump is the standout for anyone needing a solid transfer unit, while the rolls of hose and flanges suggest there’s enough material for a decent plumbing or irrigation job.
The mixed rigging equipment could be a good pickup for anyone in lifting or towing, though check the condition in person if you can. The grey water storage tank rounds out the lot, handy for ag, rural, or even a big backyard project.
With only nine lots, it’s a quick one to get through. No reserve hanging over it, so prices should track what the room is willing to pay. If you’re after spare gear without the retail sting, this is worth a look.
-
1976 York Caravan
More detail
This is one of those older caravans that’s getting harder to find in original condition. The 1976 York is a proper slice of Aussie caravan history, built in an era when they were tough, simple, and made to last. If you’re chasing a project, this gives you a solid base to work from without paying restored prices.
What you’re looking at is a single-axle layout, typical of the mid-70s York range. Expect the original interior fittings, cabinetry, and that unmistakable retro styling inside. It’s not going to be a plug-and-play camper, but for someone handy with tools, it’s a solid starting point.
Check the photos carefully for rust, water damage, and the condition of the chassis and wheels. The auction close date is yet to be confirmed, so keep an eye on the Grays listing for updates. If you’ve got the space and the patience, this could be a ripper little resto.
-
Unreserved Mixed IT Equipment – #619
More detail
This is a straight unreserved clearance, which means everything goes to the highest bidder, no messing around. The CDM PRO Q570M-C machines are the headline act, offering dependable performance for everyday business tasks, while the Lenovo ThinkStation P330s bring proper workstation-level power to the table. If you’re after reliable desktops for a fleet upgrade or spare parts, this catalogue has plenty to sift through.
Beyond the towers, you’re looking at a mixed bag of peripherals, monitors, and cabling that typically comes with this kind of office decommissioning. With 93 lots, it’s worth scanning the full list to spot the sleeper deals. Pickup is from Jandakot, so factor in transport if you’re bidding from further afield. Auction closes 28 August 2026, so there’s time to line up your bids without rushing.
-
2024 Austrack Campers Tradie Trailer
More detail
The Tradie Trailer is Austrack’s take on a rugged all-rounder, blending a solid off-road chassis with a practical layout. For a 2024 model, it’s barely broken in, so you’re looking at a trailer that’s done little more than a few shakedown runs. The suspension and coupling are set up for corrugations, and the stone guard and toolboxes are standard, which saves you the usual aftermarket spend.
Inside, it’s a proper camper, not a tarp-and-tent setup. The fold-out tent, mattress, and kitchen slide make it usable straight away, and the water tank and battery system mean you can head bush without a power pole in sight. For tradies, the rear rack and tie-down points take gear easily, so it doubles as a worksite hauler during the week.
Check the photos for any scuffs from loading, and confirm the service history with Grays before bidding. The 2024 build date means rego and compliance should be current, but it’s worth a call to the depot to verify. If you want a camper that earns its keep, this one’s priced well under a new equivalent.
-
1955 CMADE CARAVAN
More detail
This is a single-lot offering, and it’s all about the retro appeal. The 1955 CMADE is a genuine period piece, likely with the original chassis and bodywork. For anyone into classic caravans, this is a chance to grab a project or a restoration base, not a turn-key holiday home.
Given the age, expect the usual suspects: perished seals, tired wiring, and possibly some timber rot in the frame. The auctioneer hasn’t listed detailed condition notes, so your best bet is to inspect in person if you’re local to the South West, or ask for extra photos. Grays rolling auctions run on a soft-close timer, so if you’re serious, have your max bid ready and don’t get caught out in the final minutes.

Drill Rigs – Assets For Sale
Featured lots: Sandvik Pantera DP1500 Drill Rig | Atlas Copco D65 Drill Rig | Atlas Copco D65 Drill Rig
-

Pods, Houses, Toilets, Modules, Containers& More-WA (Unused)
More detail
These are not your average shipping containers. The standout lots are all unused, which means they’re ready to be craned onto a site and fitted out, not patched up after years of freight. The 40ft deluxe accommodation module is the pick for anyone needing a self-contained living or worksite space, while the single-room version suits a more basic setup. The two 40ft expandable container houses with ensuites are the ones to watch, they fold out to give proper living space without the lead time of a traditional build.
For buyers, the “unused” tag is the key selling point here. No rust, no damage, no prior tenant wear. This gear is aimed at rural property owners, builders needing on-site quarters, or anyone looking at a quick granny flat or temporary rental without going through a full construction process. The expandable units in particular are a solid option for a self-contained setup with bathroom included, just check transport and site access before bidding, these are heavy lifts.
Muchea is a straightforward drive from Perth’s northern suburbs, so collection is manageable for most buyers. With the close date still to be confirmed, it’s worth registering early and checking the lot photos, the condition of these units is the main drawcard, and they won’t stay cheap if the bidding gets going.
-

Fuel Storage Tanks – Muchea,WA (Unused)
More detail
Grays has put together a clean, practical auction for anyone needing bulk fuel storage without the hassle of installing single-skinned tanks. The big draw is the 22,000-litre self-bunded tank, which gives you secondary containment built in, meaning no concrete bunding or extra EPA paperwork on that front. It’s a serious piece of gear for a workshop, truck yard, or rural property.
The 11,000-litre self-bunded tank sits nicely for medium-scale operations, while the 4,500-litre bunded cube is a solid middle ground for smaller sites or backup storage. The 980-litre fuel cube is a handy option for refuelling skid units or machinery in the field. All four featured tanks are listed as unused, so you’re looking at ex-stock or surplus gear, not worn-out equipment.
With 36 lots total, there’s likely more than just the headline tanks, so it pays to check the full catalogue before the close date is set. Given they’re all unused, expect these to draw attention from commercial buyers, but private buyers after a one-off tank could do well if they bid sensibly. Pickup will be from Muchea, so factor in transport if you’re coming from further afield.
Ross’s Auctioneers & Valuers
Ross’s Auctioneers & Valuers is WA’s largest and most active auction house, running sales from their Welshpool Complex (453 Orrong Rd), Kalgoorlie Showroom (64 Great Eastern Hwy), and Karratha Showroom (Gap Ridge Estate). Diverse sales include vehicles, mining plant, engineering equipment, IT, jewellery, antiques, and business closeouts.
-

40Ft & 20Ft Containers, Pre-Fabricated Bathroom Unit and Transportables Online Welshpool Auction
More detail
This is a solid spread for anyone needing secure storage, site containers, or heavy-duty gear. The standout is a 40ft sea container packed with contents, including an inverter, amp trap fuses, a Cordé centrifugal pump, Rosemount pressure transmitters and flow meters, plus an air circuit breaker. Most of it looks unused and boxed, so there’s real potential to on-sell the electrical bits and keep the container for yourself.
For buyers after something more specialised, there’s a 20ft container converted into a water treatment or pump station. It comes with Grundfos pumps, an Accura dosing system, a control panel, storage tanks, and air conditioning, though its operational condition is unknown. At the other end, a brand-new 2025-built container, around 1.8m x 2.2m x 2m, has a door, window, and plywood floor, ready to go as a site office or secure lockup.
Most lots need pickup by appointment, and some are sidelift only, so factor in transport costs before bidding. Expect rust, dents, and hard-to-close doors on the older units, but that’s reflected in the pricing. The 40ft flat rack has a 45-tonne max gross weight and a 5-tonne tare, making it a solid buy for moving oversized loads. Bidding closes 24 August 2026.

Surface Pro Tablets, Apple iPads, Commercial LCD Monitors & Security Cameras Online Welshpool Auction
More detail
This is a solid pick-up for anyone fitting out a control room, retail fit-out, or bar with commercial-grade displays. The bulk of the lots are NEC Multisync P484s, the workhorse 48-inch panel that runs 1920 x 1080 and handles 24/7 operation, which is what they’re built for. There’s also a mix of 40-inch P403s and a single 46-inch P463, so you can match sizes across a video wall or just grab a spare for a boardroom.
The LG lots stand out: a 49VL5B with a narrow bezel design that’s made for multi-screen setups, and a 49M5KE-BJ digital signage unit. Both are 1080p and come in their original boxes. A few things to factor in before you bid. Every screen is listed as untested, no remote, no stand, and no cables, with some marks on the units. They were reported as working when pulled out, but you’re buying sight unseen. The bulky item tag means collection will need a van or ute, and the boxes are included, which helps with transport. The auction closes on 24 August 2026, so there’s time to do your homework on the serial numbers and pick your lots.
-

PPE, Electrical Contractor Equipment, Welding & Garden Supplies Online Welshpool Auction
More detail
Ross’s regular online auctions pull from business closures and surplus stock, and this one’s got a solid cross-section of trades gear. The electrical side looks strong, with cabling, switchgear, and contractor-grade fittings that usually go cheap when bought in bulk lots. Welding equipment includes units suited to both light fabrication and heavier repairs, so if you’re setting up a shed or topping up a workshop, there’s likely something worth chasing.
The PPE section is worth a look too, especially if you need to restock for a crew or just want spare gear for the ute. Garden supplies round out the catalogue, with tools and outdoor equipment that often get overlooked in these mixed sales. Bidding closes on 24 August 2026, so check the lot list early and pick your targets. Pickup will be from the Welshpool complex on Orrong Road, so factor in a trailer if you land a big lot.

Kimseed Australia Closing Down Sale Online Offsite Auction
More detail
This is a proper workshop clearance, not a pile of junk. The lathe is the headline act: 356×1000 capacity, comes with 3-jaw and 4-jaw chucks, chuck plates, a steady rest, and a quantity of spindles and tool holders. It’s three-phase, hard-wired, and listed as operational but untested, so factor in a licensed electrician for disconnection and your own lifting gear for removal.
The milling side is covered by the 2024 Hafco Metalmaster BM-30A turret mill with a YHSINO controller, machine vice and holder set, running off a 240V-15A plug. There’s also a Vertex super indexing spacer with a 3-jaw chuck, and a bundle with an 18-piece collet set, a 3-jaw spindle chuck, and a TM F45SE12 milling head. Dust extraction is sorted with a Sheppach HD12 on a trolley, a Hafco CDS-2/3 cyclone separator, and a Hafco DC-2, all fairly recent.
Don’t overlook the smaller stuff: a Ryobi 30L wet/dry vacuum, a five-drawer Hafco tool cupboard workbench with drill bits and misc gear inside, four mobile welding screens, and a bundle of three plastic jerry cans (with some fuel) plus a tagged 9kg fire extinguisher. Everything is untested unless noted, so bid accordingly. Removal is on you, and the press needs a manual touch

Garden, Office & Outdoor Pots Relocation Online Offsite Auction
Ross’s runs regular online, live, and in-house auctions from Perth — goods include WA Police forfeited items, machinery, business closures, and vehicles.
-

Major Commercial Meat Processing, Packaging & Bakery Equipment Online Offsite Auction
More detail
Ross’s has cleared out a working food production site at 41-49 Robinson Avenue, and the lot list reads like a full equipment handover. For butchers and smallgoods operators, there’s likely to be band saws, mincers, and vacuum sealers, while the packaging side should turn up heat sealers and labelling kit. Bakery buyers will be looking at spiral mixers, provers, and deck ovens, all commercial grade.
The auction runs online only, closing 9 September 2026, so you’re bidding from the shed or the couch. Given it’s an offsite clearance, inspection times will be limited, and you’ll need to arrange your own removal. Ross’s has a solid track record with business closure sales, so expect the gear to be listed honestly and priced to move, not nursed along with high reserves.
If you’re after a single oven or a full processing line, this one’s worth a look. The suburb’s industrial strip means loading access should be straightforward, but factor in transport costs before you chase a bargain. Check the lot photos carefully, and bring a tape measure if you’re serious about fitting something into your workshop.
-

Electrical Contractors Liquidation Online Welshpool Auction
More detail
The headline lot is a Clark GPM25L gas forklift with a 2500kg capacity and 4560 hours on the clock. It shows some marks, and the gas bottle isn’t included, so factor that into your bid. For power, there’s a Blue Diamond Genesys diesel generator rated at 6/6.5 KVA with 240V output, though the hours are unsighted and it comes with spare knobs. There’s also a separate valve generator on a pallet, untested and showing some rust.
Air conditioning gear is worth a look, with two Hisense indoor units and one outdoor split unit, all possibly unused and boxed. A Mitsubishi indoor unit, also possibly unused, rounds out the climate control lots. If you’re after basic materials, there’s a pallet of assorted cables in various gauges, plus around 12 boxes of electrical fittings, including HPM, Sal, and Vent-Air items.
For the structural side, there’s a Hearthull steel component set with a 4000kg per pair working load limit, though it shows some rust and may be incomplete. A heavy-duty tow hitch with a 50mm ball is also listed. Smaller items include a 3.7m Gorilla ladder, two yellow toolboxes, and four LV rescue kits in yellow vinyl bags, though the kits may be incomplete. The panel wall lift loader is listed as incomplete, so treat that one as a parts or scrap proposition. Bidding closes on 26 August.
-

Farm Clearance Esperance Online Offsite Auction
More detail
This is a working farm sell-off, so the gear has a practical edge. The Woodfast thicknesser, bench saw, and planer are all three-phase, which suits a proper shed setup, and the Carbatec single-bag dust collector is a sensible add-on if you’re grabbing the timber gear in one hit. The Husqvarna 268 is an older saw but a strong unit, and the Stihl Woodboss 024AVS is a reliable firewood option, while the MS381 is the serious cutter of the trio.
Beyond the workshop, the Franklin Electric 4-inch submersible pump is the sort of item that pays for itself if you’re on tank or bore water. There’s also a Campbell Hausfeld airless spray unit, a 12V/24V battery cart with solar charger for dead machinery, and a Ryobi compound drop saw for lighter jobs. The CIG welder is a proper rural unit, so expect it to draw attention.
Ross runs these clearance sales regularly, so the process is straightforward, but this one is an offsite auction, meaning you’ll need to factor in travel to Dunn Rock Road and arrange your own pickup. Bidding closes on 30 August 2026, so there’s time to inspect what’s on offer and line up transport.
-

Cattle Yards & Farm Fencing Online Welshpool Auction
More detail
This is a straight-up fencing auction for anyone restocking a set of yards or repairing boundary lines. The portable cattle panels are the standout here, with ten separate lots of 2.1m x 1.8m units including locking pins, so you can buy as few or as many as you need without fighting for a single bulk lot.
The 1.8m galvanised steel posts are listed in two lots of 200, which suggests a serious volume of fencing work ahead. The 2.4m pine strainers in 150-175mm gauge are the heavy end of the job, suited to corners and gateways where you need real holding strength.
Ross runs regular online sales from Perth covering forfeited goods, machinery, and business closures, so this is a focused offering rather than a mixed clearance. Pickup is at the Welshpool complex on Orrong Road, and with 12+ lots on the board, it is worth checking the close date and organising transport before you bid.
-

Industrial Workshop Tools, Rigging Equipment, PPE & Welding Supplies Online Welshpool Auction
More detail
This one’s a solid mix for anyone kitting out a workshop or restocking a trades business. The rigging equipment covers slings, shackles, and chain blocks, while the welding side brings in machines, consumables, and accessories. PPE lots are handy for topping up site gear without paying retail.
Ross runs these sales regularly out of Perth, often pulling in stock from WA Police forfeitures, business wind-ups, and machinery clearances, so condition and spec vary lot by lot. Check the photos and any inspection times before bidding, especially on the electrical gear. The online format means you can bid from anywhere, but pickup is from Welshpool, so factor that in if you’re not local. Worth a look if you need functional gear at trade prices.
-

Medical LCD Monitors, HP Mini Desktops & Probook Laptops Online Welshpool Auction
More detail
This one’s a solid mix for anyone kitting out a clinic, a radiology practice, or a home office with serious hardware. The two EIZO Radiforce RX340 monitors are the headline act, purpose-built for medical imaging and usually priced well into four figures each. They’re listed alongside a Hisense 85-inch DVB-T television receiver, which is a bulky item with no box, so factor in pickup logistics if that’s on your list.
The computing gear is where the volume sits. Eight HP Pro Mini 400 G9 desktops are on offer, each with an Intel i5-12500T, 8GB RAM, and a 256GB SSD. They’re untested, have some marks, and come with a power adaptor, so treat them as spares or project machines. The three HP ZBook Power G8 laptops are the more capable units, with i7-11850H CPUs, 32GB RAM, and 1TB SSDs, but they’re also untested and come with chargers included. No OS is loaded on any of the computers, so budget for a fresh install.
Ross runs regular auctions out of Welshpool, often moving WA Police forfeited goods, business closures, and ex-corporate IT. This catalogue looks like ex-business or institutional stock, and the untested status on everything means bidding should stay sensible. The close date is 31 August 2026, so there’s time to inspect if you’re in Perth, but
-

Diesel Engines, Stamford Alternators, Induction Motors & Pumps Online Welshpool Auction
More detail
Ross has put together a solid spread of industrial gear here, with the main draw being five used Cummins QSL9 diesel engines, four of them mated to 250 kVA Stamford alternators and one to a 300 kVA unit. There’s also a standalone QSB5-G5BR3 engine with its own Stamford alternator. These are proper bits of kit for backup power or a mining camp setup, so it’s worth checking service history and hours if you can get them before bidding.
Beyond the engines, there’s a pair of Weirminer 150-450 SHW pumps with cooling jackets, one crated and the other noted in fair condition with a June 2026 return date. The pulleys are the heavy lifters, with a Prok tail pulley at 2600kg and that Orontide non-drive pulley at 8000kg, sitting in a stillage with ceramic lagging and sealed bearings. The Dr. W. Ostermann gearbox is untested and the Nordex unit has no oil in it, so factor that into your bid.
Don’t forget the smaller stuff either, like the gearboxes and the possibility of other lots being added before close. Ross runs these sales regularly out of Welshpool, so if you’ve dealt with them before you’ll know the drill. Otherwise, get your inspection sorted early if you’re serious about the big-ticket items.
-

Steel, Plate, Purlins, 40Ft Flat Racks, Containers & Half Height Containers Online Welshpool Auction
More detail
This is a straight-up industrial clearance, and the mix is practical rather than flashy. The steel and purlins will suit anyone doing sheds, fencing, or structural work, while the 40ft flat racks are the standout for transport or storage operators. Half-height containers are handy for site storage or moving heavy gear, and they tend to hold value well at auction.
Ross runs these sales regularly from Perth, often pulling in WA Police forfeited goods, machinery, and business closure stock, so condition can vary lot to lot. Worth a pre-bid inspection if you’re serious about the containers or racks, as rust and dents are common in this line of gear. Bidding is online only, and the close date is set for 3 September, so get your list sorted early.
-

WA Slab n Burl Stock Online Welshpool Auction
More detail
This one is a picker’s paradise, not a polished showroom. The core of the sale is slab and burl timber, the kind of stuff cabinetmakers and turners chase hard. Expect rough-sawn slabs with natural edges, plus burl caps and blocks that’ll clean up into something special. If you’ve got a thicknesser and patience, there’s money to be made here.
Beyond the wood, Ross has pulled together a typical Perth mixed bag: ex-police forfeited goods, workshop machinery from closed businesses, and the usual run of vehicles. That means you’ll find everything from bench saws and dust extractors to odd lots of hardware and tools. Bid on the timber early if that’s your game, but don’t ignore the mechanical stuff, it’s often priced to move.
The auction closes on 3 September, and it’s all online, so you’re bidding from the shed or the couch. Inspection is worth the trip to Orrong Road, especially for the timber, where grade and moisture content matter more than the photos show. Set your own limits and stick to them, the last five minutes gets lively.
-

Caterpillar Spares, Mining Spares & Stores Inventory Online Welshpool Auction
More detail
This is a straight-up parts sale for anyone running earthmoving gear or working in maintenance. The stock is coming out of a Welshpool complex on Orrong Road, and it’s the kind of lot list that suits a workshop restock or a mechanic chasing specific CAT numbers. Ross’s runs these regularly from Perth, so the process is straightforward, but the volume here looks well above a typical clearance.
Dig into the list for hydraulic hoses, seals, bearings, and undercarriage components, alongside the usual filters and belts. There’s likely to be a mix of new-old-stock and used serviceable items, so check the condition notes on each lot before bidding. If you’re repairing a D-series dozer or a 300-series excavator, this could save you a serious chunk compared to the dealer counter.
Buyers should factor in pickup from Welshpool, so bring a trailer or a ute with decent tie-downs if you’re loading up on the heavier gear. The auction closes on 7 September 2026, and with online bidding, you can chase individual lots without sitting through a whole room. Worth a look if you’ve got a parts bin that needs topping up.

Medical Equipment, Office Furniture & Kitchen Appliances Online Welshpool Auction
More detail
Ross’s regular online auctions pull from a mix of WA Police forfeitures, business closures, and surplus stock, so this one’s got a bit of everything. The medical equipment side looks strong for anyone setting up a clinic, home care setup, or allied health space, with practical items like treatment chairs, scales, and sterilising units likely to draw attention. Office furniture is the usual commercial-grade haul, so solid desks, filing cabinets, and ergonomic chairs are worth a look if you’re kitting out a workspace without paying retail.
Kitchen appliances and catering gear are the sleeper here. Commercial fridges, ovens, and prep benches turn up regularly in these sales, and they often go for less than a home-brand unit at a clearance store. Since it’s an online auction with a set close date, you’ll want to check the lot photos and condition notes carefully, especially for anything electrical or with moving parts. Pickup is from the Welshpool complex, so factor in transport if you’re grabbing something bulky. No need to register early, but sorting out your bidding login before the close makes life easier.

Transportables, Containers, Self-Bunded 40Ft Fuel Containers & Water Treatment System Online Offsite Auction
More detail
The fuel containers are the standout here. These are TILU units, self-bunded so they don’t need a concrete bunded pad, which makes them a solid option for a mine site, depot, or rural operation needing bulk diesel storage without the civil works. The 110,000L total capacity across the two units is serious volume, so this is aimed at commercial operators, not hobbyists.
The transportable buildings are worth a close look too. One is a 40ft kitchen and crib room module with commercial cooking gear, stainless benches, and seating. There’s also a three-room 40ft unit with a toilet, medical examination couches, and first aid spares. Note that one is oversize at around 14m x 4.2m, so check transport requirements before bidding. The water treatment system is a complete setup in three containers, including filter systems, tanks, piping, and a control room with main pumps, ready to be craned onto a truck and relocated.
Everything is offsite at Gavranich Way in Wangara, so inspection is recommended, especially for the oversize building. Ross’s runs these sales regularly and knows how to move industrial gear, so expect a practical auction with no surprises. Bid with transport and setup costs in mind, and you could pick up a fully functional fuel depot or site accommodation for a fraction of what new gear would set you back.

Sale #7018 – Pilbara Auction
More detail
This one’s a straight-up unreserved clearance, which means the starting bids should stay honest. The vehicle lineup looks like a mix of ex-fleet and trade-ins, so expect plenty of km on some but also a few lower-mileage surprises. Look for late-model dual-cab utes, a couple of vans, and the odd sedan, all sold as-is, so factor in a pre-bid inspection if you can get to Midland.
Out in the plant and machinery section, there’s the usual run of diesel compressors, welding units, and small excavator attachments, plus a few older four-wheel-drive loaders that could be worth a look if you’ve got the time and space to fix them up. The workshop gear is where the quiet value sits, think bench grinders, air tools, and a heap of loose steel racking that’s easy to miss in the photos. Check the condition reports carefully, and bring a trailer, because this sale runs until it’s done.

Sale #6044 – Local Government & Shire Auction
More detail
This is a straight-up unreserved sale, which means the highest bid takes it, no messing around. The usual crowd is light commercial utes and four-wheel drives, often with full service history from local government fleets. If you need a reliable tow vehicle or a farm runabout, this is where the bargains live.
Beyond the cars, the plant and machinery section is worth a dig. Look for mowers, small excavators, and general workshop gear that shires rotate out on a regular cycle. Industrial equipment like air compressors, generators, and welding units pop up frequently, and they tend to go for scrap value if you’re the only one paying attention.
Buyers should factor in inspection time before the close date. These lots are sold as-is, so a quick look under the bonnet or checking for hydraulic leaks on the plant gear will save you grief later. Registration status varies, so confirm what’s roadworthy and what’s trailer-only before you bid. The auction closes on 2026-09-09, so get your list together early.

Sale #4090 – Transportable Buildings & Sea Containers
More detail
This is a straight-up clearance of surplus transportable assets, no reserve holding things back. The lot list includes standard 20ft and 40ft sea containers, some with wind locks and double doors, plus insulated and refrigerated units for those needing climate-controlled storage. On the building side, there are demountable offices, crib huts, and site amenities with power points, lighting, and plumbing connections already fitted.
Buyers should inspect before bidding. Many units show signs of previous site use dents, faded paint, minor rust which is normal for this gear but affects resale value. The auction runs to a strict schedule, so register early and have transport organised. If you need a workshop shell, temporary site office, or secure container storage, this sale has the volume to keep prices competitive.

Sale #1191 – Small Construction, Agricultural, Attachments & Transportables
More detail
This is a straightforward unreserved sale, so everything will sell to the highest bidder on the day. The transportable section stands out with several site offices and dongas, including a 6m x 2.4m unit and a larger 9m x 3m transportable with a kitchen and bathroom fit-out. There’s also a 20ft shipping container and a portable toilet block.
On the machinery side, the Kobelco excavator is a tidy late-model unit with only 1,500 hours showing. The Franna crane is a serious bit of gear for any yard or workshop, rated to 18 tonnes. Smaller items include a 2019 Kubota BX2350 tractor, multiple concrete mixers, a 2008 Toyota HiAce van, and a few ride-on mowers. A 2020 6×4 box trailer and a 2022 7×5 caged trailer round out the light transport options. Check the photos closely for hours and condition, as there are no warranties on unresold gear.

Sale #6043 – Local Government & Shire Auction
More detail
This is a solid local government clearance, so the gear is maintained and the titles are clean. The vehicle list includes several Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger utes, plus a Mitsubishi Triton and a Holden Colorado. For heavier work, there is a Toyota Coaster 23-seat bus and a Nissan Cabstar tray truck.
On the machinery side, look for a Loadmaster 2.5-tonne trailer, a Digga post-hole digger, and a selection of slashers and mowers. The industrial section covers a Clarke compressor, a Lincoln welder, and a Honda generator. Everything sells without reserve, so the starting bids should be low. Check the photos and inspection times before the close on 28 July.

Sale #1196 – Unreserved On Site Clearing Sale
More detail
This is a true clearing sale, so the mix is broad and the starting prices should reflect that. sbauction has put together a catalogue spanning daily-driver vehicles, heavier machinery, and the kind of industrial kit that usually gets snapped up by tradies and small operators. If you’re after a project car, a second-hand trailer, or a decent workshop compressor, this one’s worth a look.
The unreserved angle is the main draw here. No vendor floors, no minimums, just whatever the bidding decides on the day. That means genuine bargains are possible, but it also means you need to check the condition reports and photos before you commit. Midland is easy enough to get to, and on-site viewing should be available closer to the close date.
Keep an eye on the lot list as the sale progresses, because sbauction tends to add items right up until the end. Whether you’re chasing a cheap runabout or a piece of plant for a job, this is one of those sales where patience pays off. Set your own limit and stick to it, because the unreserved format can get competitive when the good stuff comes up.
