FAQ
What does Ross’s Auction House specialise in?
Ross’s is the premier general auction house in Western Australia, known commercial and industrial liquidations, and are one of the most active houses on the Perth auction calendar.
How do I bid at Ross’s?
Ross’s holds regular in-room auctions at their Perth saleroom. Online and absentee bidding is available via their website at rossauctions.com.au. Register before the sale. In-room registrants receive a paddle number on the day.
What buyer’s premium does Ross’s charge?
Typically 22% plus GST. Check the specific sale catalogue for the applicable rate.
Can I inspect items before the auction?
Yes. Ross’s holds viewing sessions before every sale. Dates and times are listed in each auction catalogue on their website.
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.

Automotive Air-Conditioning Compressors, Bus Air Conditioning System & Vacuum Pumps Online Offsite Auction
More detail
The headline lot is a full Bus Mobile Climate Control System, still in the box. It comes with a Bitzer MCC refrigerant compressor, three evaporator units with copper manifolds, five belt-adjusting idler assemblies, and three cartons of installation components. That’s a complete setup for a bus or heavy vehicle, not a pile of bits you’d have to chase down yourself.
The rest of the catalogue is all unused compressors, mostly 24V for truck and bus applications, but there’s a mix of 12V units too. You’ll find Sanden SD7H15 and 7H15 types, ACTECmax 7H15 and 100-series models, plus Que hydraulic-drive compressors like the QP15-1748. Some lots are grouped by brand or type, others are a mixed bag, so check the individual listings if you’re chasing a specific fitment.
Everything is being sold offsite at 56 Brook Road, Wattle Grove, so there’s no live auctioneer to watch. Bidding closes on 19 August 2026. If you’re a truck or bus mechanic, or you deal in aftermarket air-con parts, this is the kind of stock that doesn’t turn up often at these prices. Worth a look before the timer runs out.

Forklifts, Skid Steer, Telehandlers & EWP’s Online Welshpool Auction
More detail
Ross’s has built a reputation for moving everything from WA Police forfeitures to business closure stock, and this sale fits that mould. The focus here is squarely on plant and equipment, with the sort of gear that keeps sites running: forklifts for the warehouse, skid steers for tight spaces, telehandlers for reach, and EWPs for getting up high. It’s a practical mix, not a showroom of pristine machines, so expect working condition over polish.
Buyers should note this is an online-only auction closing on 19 August 2026, which means you’ll need to register and bid through the platform rather than waving a paddle. Given Ross’s runs these regularly from the Welshpool complex, there’s a rhythm to how they do things, and the lot list will be your best friend when it comes to picking out the good oil. Check the photos and any condition reports carefully, and factor in pickup logistics from Orrong Road if you land something big. For anyone needing to upgrade their plant lineup without paying dealership prices, this is a genuine chance to score.

Gym & Exercise Equipment Online Welshpool Auction
More detail
Ross runs these online sales regularly out of the Welshpool complex on Orrong Road, and this one is all about fitness equipment. It’s a mix of commercial-grade pieces and home-use gear, so expect everything from heavy-duty treadmills and cross-trainers to free weights, barbells, and adjustable benches. Some items show typical wear from a working gym, but that’s where the value sits for anyone willing to inspect before bidding.
If you’re after a bargain on a single piece or a full room of kit, this is worth a look. Bidding closes on 13 August, and pickup will be from the Welshpool site. Check the photos and condition notes carefully, and factor in transport, because some of this gear is bulky. Ross’s auctions also pull in WA Police forfeited goods and business closure stock, so the lineup can shift right up to the close.

Commercial Kitchen & Restaurant Equipment, Refrigeration Display Cabinets and Seating Online Welshpool Auction
More detail
Ross has put together a solid spread for anyone kitting out a cafe, restaurant, or commercial kitchen. The headline act is that Moffat Turbofan P12M, still on a pallet and looking unused in its box, which is a rare way to pick up a serious piece of kit. There’s also a boxed electric stove, model PEC-8S40, that appears untouched.
The two Rational combi ovens are worth a close look, though they’re listed as untested with some marks, so factor in a service check before you bid. Similarly, the Hobart A200 mixer and the pair of Noaw slicers are untested, which means they could be a bargain or a project, depending on your tolerance for risk. The smaller lots round it out nicely: stacks of white coffee plates, industrial-style stackable dining chairs with a weathered look, and commercial dishwasher racks loaded with beer, champagne, and wine glasses. If you need glassware in bulk, this is a cheap way to stock a bar.
The auction closes on 20 August, and with 12-plus lots, it’s a manageable catalogue to work through. The gear is spread across a few pallets, so check the dimensions and arrange pickup from the Welshpool complex accordingly. Bid with your head, not your heart, especially on the untested items.

De Havilland Vampire T35 "Bill’s" Display Jet Plane Online Offsite Auction
More detail
This is about as close as you’ll get to owning a piece of aviation history without a hangar and a flight crew. The De Havilland Vampire T35, nicknamed "Bill’s," is a genuine full-size display piece, not a model or replica. It’s mounted on a steel support frame and comes with the jet engine on display, so it’s ready to sit in a shed, workshop, or front yard and draw a crowd.
The Vampire was a post-war British jet fighter-trainer, and the T35 variant served with the RAAF into the 1960s. This one is being sold as a static display item, so don’t expect it to fly, but the sheer scale and presence make it a standout lot. At 9.3m long and 2.6m high, you’ll need serious space to store it, so measure up before bidding.
Ross’s runs regular auctions out of Perth, handling everything from WA Police forfeited goods to machinery and business closures. This one is a single-lot offsite sale, so it’s a straightforward deal, but given the size, you’ll need to arrange your own transport and cranage. Check the listing for viewing times and collection details, and factor in moving costs before you commit.

Alcaro Hydraulics Vehicles, Tractors, Transportable Buildings, Hydraulic & Engineering Machinery Final Bullsbrook Yard Clearance Online Offsite Auction
More detail
This is the final cleanup at the Alcaro Hydraulics yard in Bullsbrook, so the mix is genuine end-of-line stuff from a working business. You will find vehicles suitable for farm or site use, including tractors and 4×4 utes, plus transportable buildings that could serve as sheds or site offices.
The real meat is in the hydraulic and engineering machinery. Think pumps, rams, presses, and workshop gear that came out of a functioning hydraulics outfit. Ross runs regular sales out of Perth, often handling WA Police forfeited goods and business closures, so the provenance is solid. Bidding closes on August 20, 2026. Get down to Dewar Road for inspections if you need a closer look.

Light Vehicles, Trucks, Earthmoving Equipment, Mobile Generators, Pumps & Workshop Equipment Traditional Kalgoorlie Auction
More detail
This auction packs a solid mix for miners, contractors, and tradies. The vehicle lineup includes several Toyota HiLux and LandCruiser utes, a 2018 Isuzu NNR 45-150 tray truck, and a 2015 Ford Transit Custom van. On the earthmoving side, look for a Caterpillar 320D excavator, a Komatsu WA320 wheel loader, and a 2016 Hitachi ZX135US-5 excavator.
Mobile generators from Cummins and Himoinsa are listed, along with a range of submersible and centrifugal pumps. The workshop gear covers welders, compressors, and tooling. All items are located at the Great Eastern Highway showroom. Buyers should inspect in person before bidding. Auction close date is yet to be confirmed, so check the listing for updates.

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 Camreas 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.
-
Engineering Machinery, Milling, Boring, Welding Equipment & Diesel Engines Online Welshpool Auction
More detail
This one’s got proper workshop cred. The engineering side covers milling and boring machines, the kind of gear that keeps a fabrication shop ticking, and there’s welding equipment to match. Diesel engines are also in the mix, so if you’re restoring a truck, repowering a machine, or just want a spare block, it’s worth scrolling the full list.
Ross runs these sales regularly out of Perth, and the source stock here includes business closures, so condition and usage will vary. That means you need to do your own homework on photos and any inspection times, but the upside is real for anyone who can shift heavy items themselves.
The online format means bidding runs to a set close date, and pickup will be from the Welshpool site, so factor in transport. If you’re after specific brands or models, check the lot descriptions carefully, as the catalogue is mixed and some items may be sold as-is without warranty.
-
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.

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.

Mining & Commercial Light Vehicles, Trucks, Plant & Machinery Traditional Karratha Auction
More detail
Ross’s traditional Karratha auction pulls together gear that actually works for the region, not just the usual clearance filler. The vehicle lineup leans towards dual-cab utes and light commercials, the kind of thing tradies and mine-site contractors run daily. On the truck side, look for tautliners, tipper bodies, and prime movers that have done real kilometres, so check service history before you bid.
Plant equipment is where the value often sits. There’s typically a range of excavators, loaders, and compaction gear, with brands like Caterpillar, Komatsu, and Hitachi popping up when stock is strong. If you’re chasing attachments or spare parts, those lots tend to fly under the radar, so it pays to scroll through the full catalogue.
Ross runs these sales regularly from Perth, and the Karratha offering is a mix of ex-fleet, business closure, and police forfeited items. That means condition varies, so inspection is worth your time. The auction is timed to suit local buyers, but online bidding is open if you’re not in the area. Keep an eye on the close date as it firms up, and register early if you plan to bid.
