Rod’s Tips
Ross’s is the the first point of call when think of any used asset purchase in WA. The quality of items is consistently high and the buyer pool is smaller than east-coast equivalents, which can mean better prices for buyers who do their research.
Preview days are essential at Ross’s. Condition is everything and in WA, everything is rode hard and put away wet. Ross’s staff are knowledgeable and happy to answer questions during viewing, use this to your advantage.
Online bidding is competitive but the room still wins close calls. For items you really want, attend in person if you can. The auctioneer has discretion on tied bids and often favours the room.

Antique Furniture & Collectables Online Welshpool Auction
More detail
This Ross’s auction is a solid hit for anyone kitting out a period home or hunting statement pieces. The standout is the French provincial hutch and buffet wall unit in walnut, stretching 2750mm high with three glazed doors and four ornate doors. For serious collectors, the Victorian rosewood inlay cabinet with brass detailing is a rare find, though note one foot is damaged.
The lot list also includes a Chinese dark wood wedding cabinet with brass hardware, a Japanese 10-drawer chest, and an antique mahogany twin pedestal sideboard. A new-in-box Rapidline mobile pedestal offers a practical contrast. Bidders should inspect the Victorian mahogany library bookcase, as the corner moulding has come away. Auction closes May 31, online only.

Workshop Tools & Cabinets Online Auction
More detail
This online auction from Ross offers over a dozen lots of practical workshop and electrical gear. The standout is the Vertex VPS-20B micrometer covering 8 to 12 inches, a solid tool for precision work. Also worth a look are the Projecta battery chargers, including a 12-volt 4300mA unit and a 12-24 volt model, plus a Vortex V-10A voltage reducer.
Electrical components make up the bulk of the listings. You will find five Strom amp meters, four limit switches suitable for a 300L pan mixer, and a 10-amp on/off switch. There are also two genset controller modules and a touch point sensor with light and sound.
Diesel engine parts are on offer too, including a Deutz starter motor to suit F3L192, F4L812, and F6L912 engines, plus a Deutz engine shut-off solenoid. Rounding it out are 11 Seagear marine control boxes. Ross runs regular forfeited goods and business closure auctions from Perth, so this is a chance to grab trade gear without the trade price. Bidding closes 2 June 2026.

Lenovo Thinkpad Notebooks & General IT Online Welshpool Auction
More detail
These are ex-corporate or government fleet machines, likely from a WA Police or business closure lot. The specs are solid for a budget workhorse: an 11th-gen i5, 16GB of RAM, and a 250GB SSD will handle office tasks, web browsing, and light multitasking without breaking a sweat. The catch is they all lack an operating system, so factor in a Windows or Linux licence.
The condition varies. You will find scratched lids, marked screens, a couple with damaged charge ports, and one with broken plastic near the screen corner. Every unit is listed as untested, which is typical for this type of clearance. Expect to put in some hands-on work or use them as parts donors. The missing mouse nubs are a minor annoyance, not a dealbreaker.
With 12 lots on offer and a June 2 close date, this is a solid chance to grab a capable laptop for a song if you are comfortable with cosmetic blemishes and a bit of DIY setup. Inspect the photos closely and bid accordingly.

Trucks, Service Support Trucks, Mine Spec Trucks & Municipal Trucks Online Welshpool Auction
More detail
Ross’s is putting up a solid range of working vehicles from their Welshpool complex, covering trucks for mining, municipal, and general service roles. The auction includes mine spec trucks built for tough conditions, alongside municipal trucks suited for council or utility work. Service support trucks are also listed, which could suit trades or fleet operators needing reliable runners.
This is a regular Ross’s sale, so expect the usual mix of WA Police forfeited goods, machinery, and business closure stock. The vehicle lots are the headline here, but the addition of collectables and jewellery rounds out the catalogue for different buyers. Online bidding runs until 8 June 2026, so you can inspect and bid remotely. If you need a truck for site work or a support vehicle, this is worth a close look.

Caterpillar Parts, Spares & Earthmoving Batteries Welshpool Online Auction
More detail
Ross’s is clearing a serious stash of Caterpillar spares from a Welshpool complex, all online with bids closing 8 June 2026. The catalogue is stacked with serviceable parts for earthmoving gear: starters and alternators for D6, D8, and 980 models, plus hydraulic pumps, seals, and cooling components. There’s also a solid run of 12-volt and 24-volt heavy-duty batteries, ideal for plant equipment or off-grid setups.
This isn’t a speculative lot. These are genuine Cat parts, likely from a dealer or workshop closure. If you run a dozer, loader, or excavator, this is a chance to stock up on common wear items and backup spares at a fraction of dealer retail. The online format means you can bid from anywhere in WA, but factor in pickup from Welshpool.
Also mixed in are a few collectables and jewellery lots, so keep an eye out for oddball bargains. Check the full catalogue on Ross’s site for exact part numbers and condition notes before bidding.

40Ft & 20Ft Shipping Containers and Flat Rack Online Welshpool Auction
More detail
This online auction from Ross’s focuses squarely on storage and transport gear. The standout is the 40ft high-cube shipping container, ideal for secure on-site storage or conversion projects. A 20ft container is also listed, along with a flat rack designed for heavy or awkward cargo that won’t fit a standard box.
Buyers should note these are ex-service containers, so expect some wear and tear from previous use. The auction closes on 2 June 2026, and all items are located at the Welshpool complex on Orrong Road. If you need a container for the shed, worksite, or transport, this is a straightforward way to pick one up without the retail markup.
-
Vehicles, Commercials & 4×4 Vehicles Online Welshpool Auction
More detail
This is a solid online-only sale from Ross’s, drawing on WA Police forfeitures and general business clearances. With 34 lots, the focus is squarely on drivable transport: think dual-cab utes, a few heavy tow wagons, and commercial vans suited to trades or fleet buyers. The 4×4 selection includes popular off-road models, likely with bullbars, tow packs, and high-km work histories.
The lot list also throws in some collectables and jewellery, which is typical of Ross’s mixed forfeiture sales. These are smaller-value add-ons, not the main draw. Buyers should register early and inspect online photos closely. The auction closes 2 June, so there’s time to suss out the mechanical condition from the provided reports. No on-site viewing is mentioned, so trust the description and factor in a post-sale mechanical check.

Engineering & Yard Clearance Online Karratha Auction
More detail
This online auction has 12+ lots spanning the domestic and the heavy-duty. For the home, there’s a Simpson 4kg dryer, a Sharp Carousel 800W microwave, and a Blue Seal Moffat turbo fan oven with a six-burner gas cooker (note the missing side panel). The industrial side is where the value likely sits: a Hitachi C10FL 255mm table saw on wheels, a 2014 Hafco DC-3 dust extraction unit, and a Gold Power Wash machine that runs on three-phase power, diesel, and also doubles as a line marking machine.
Buyers after site gear should note the Safetech HDG rotating pallet wrapping frame rated to 2000kg, the two communication pits (one with a lid), and the Mikasa diesel plate compactor with a dismantled pull start. There’s also a pallet of Schneider Electric voltage circuit breakers and emergency lighting batteries, plus two steel crates holding around 14 hydraulic jacks in various condition. The Schneider master controller and the Hitachi table saw are likely the pick of the electrical and woodworking lots. Inspection is key, especially for the compactor and the oven.

New Lighting Stock Clearance, Ex-Mine Site Mini Bar Fridges and Maytag Washing Machines & Dryers Online Welshpool Auction
More detail
This is a mixed-bag clearance that suits anyone flipping whitegoods or kitting out a worksite. The headline is the sheer volume of mini bar fridges: multiple pallets of four, mostly Whirlpool units at 120L capacity. They are all listed as used and untested, so factor in some elbow grease and a multimeter, but the potential margin is there if you can shift them in bulk.
Beyond the fridges, the auction includes new lighting stock and Maytag washing machines and dryers. Maytag is a solid commercial-grade brand, so those units could be a good grab for a laundromat operator or someone with a repair licence. The ex-mine site gear suggests these fridges have lived a hard life, but they are simple machines with few moving parts.
Ross’s runs these online auctions regularly from Welshpool, so the pickup process is straightforward. Bidding closes on 3 June 2026. Inspect before you bid, and remember: untested means no guarantees, but the starting prices should reflect that risk.
-
20 Inch & 36 Inch Casing Pipe Online Karratha Offsite Auction
More detail
This is a niche auction for anyone needing oilfield or industrial-grade casing pipe. The headline items are the 20-inch and 36-inch sections, which typically suit well casing, piling, or structural projects. With only seven lots total, it is a tight, targeted sale.
Ross’s runs this as an online-only event from Karratha, drawing on their usual pipeline of WA Police forfeited items, business closures, and machinery clearances. The collectables and jewellery included are likely small add-ons from those sources, not the main draw.
Buyers should inspect the pipe specs closely. Offsite pickup at Exploration Drive means you will need transport for heavy gear. The auction closes on 4 June 2026, so register early and factor in freight if you are not local to Karratha.
-
Brokk 900 Demolition Robot Online Welshpool Auction
More detail
Ross’s is running this single-lot online auction from their Welshpool complex, part of their regular rotation of WA Police forfeitures, business closures, and industrial gear. The Brokk 900 is a compact but powerful unit, designed for controlled demolition work where access is limited or safety is a concern.
Buyers should know this is a specialised piece of plant equipment, not a casual purchase. The robot’s articulated arm and interchangeable tools make it suited for concrete breaking, rock excavation, and interior demolition. With the auction closing on June 9 2026, interested parties will want to inspect the unit beforehand. Ross’s auctions typically attract trade buyers, so be prepared for solid competition if this machine fits your lineup.

More detail

Support vehicles include a Toyota LandCruiser ute and a Nissan Patrol wagon.
Workshop buyers will find air compressors, welders, a lathe, and a range of hand tools and spares. There’s also a separate section for collectables and jewellery, making this a true mixed bag.
