Trends & Insights
The traditional yard clearance model took a notable step back this week. Ross’s Auctions cancelled the July 25 Bullsbrook auction for Alcaro Hydraulics, which was set to feature vehicles, tractors, and hydraulic machinery, and shifted the entire sale to an online format (Facebook rossauctions, Jul 21). This move signals a continuing preference for digital bidding over physical attendance, even for heavy equipment and transportable buildings. Buyers who had planned for a live yard event must now register online to participate.
Specialist hydraulic componentry remains a strong category this week. A dedicated auction for hoist and rear suspension cylinders, valves, and motors is live from the Welshpool complex at 453 Orrong Road, with collection scheduled for late July (auctions.com.au, Jul 16). Separately, the ongoing stream of Perth Airport surrendered and unclaimed property continues to move through the same Welshpool facility, offering forfeited goods with active viewing and bidding (auctions.com.au, Jul 16). These two distinct streams, industrial components and airport clearance lots, highlight the dual demand for both trade specific gear and general unclaimed goods.
Business liquidation activity is accelerating as several online auctions near their close. A health care clinic liquidation ends Monday July 27, featuring medical equipment and related stock from Welshpool (auctions.com.au, Jul 21). The Unios lighting inventory clearance, also from Welshpool, concludes July 23 (auctions.com.au, Jul 17). Meanwhile, the offsite auction for Jarrah logs and fencing posts from Uduc wrapped up Tuesday July 21 at 6:30pm (auctions.com.au, Jul 15). Watch for further business closure stock hitting the online catalogues as the month ends.

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.

Outboard Boat Motors & Mooring Rope Online Welshpool Auction
More detail
Ross’s runs regular online auctions from their Welshpool complex, and this one is squarely aimed at boat owners and marine trades. The motors cover a useful power range: the Yamaha 40hp suits a tinny or small runabout, while the Mercury 9.9hp and Tohatsu 6hp are ideal for tenders or kicker motors. All are listed as used, so factor in a test or inspection if you can.
The mooring rope is the other standout. It’s listed as new stock, which saves you a trip to the chandlery. If you need dock lines or anchor rode, this is a straightforward way to grab it in bulk without retail markup.
Check the close date on 30 July 2026. This is a timed online auction, so you bid at your own pace. Ross’s also has a history of police forfeited goods and business closures, so the condition of these motors could vary. If you’re local to Welshpool, get down for a viewing before you commit.

Tyre Handler, Forklift, Generators, Plant & Machinery Online Welshpool Auction
More detail
Ross’s regular online sale from the Welshpool site covers plant and equipment from business closures and forfeited stock. The standout is the tyre handler, a specialised piece of gear for workshops or truck depots, plus multiple forklifts suited to warehouse or yard work.
The generator selection is solid for anyone needing backup power or site power. Expect Honda and Yamaha units in various sizes. A range of other plant machinery rounds out the catalogue, making this a good hit for a small operator or tradie looking to upgrade without paying retail. Inspections are likely available through the auctioneer.

2013 Cummins 300kVA Diesel Generator Online Offsite Auction
More detail
This is a single-lot sale of a substantial backup or prime power generator. The Cummins QSM11-G2 is a six-cylinder, turbocharged diesel engine that delivers 300kVA at 415 volts, three-phase. The unit is mounted in a sound-attenuated enclosure, which makes it a good fit for sites where noise restrictions apply.
The generator includes a 1,000-litre sub-base fuel tank, a battery charger, and a main output circuit breaker. It’s being sold as a complete, ready-to-run package. The hour meter shows 5,895 hours, which is moderate for a Cummins of this vintage. Buyers should inspect the service history and arrange their own transport and lifting from the Mosman Park location.
This is a straightforward offsite sale with one lot. The closing date is 31 July 2026, so there’s plenty of time to organise a physical inspection or ask Ross’s for additional details. If you need a reliable 300kVA generator for a worksite, farm, or commercial facility, this is worth a look.

Diesel Engine Dyno Testing Package Online Offsite Auction
More detail
This is a specialised package for anyone in the truck, mining, or agricultural repair game. Ross’s auction includes the dyno unit itself plus the necessary control and monitoring gear to run proper load tests on diesel engines. It’s a niche item, not something you see at a general clearing sale.
The gear comes from a business closure in Kewdale, WA. Buyers will need to arrange collection offsite after the auction closes. Given the single-lot format, expect this to draw interest from workshops looking to add or upgrade testing capacity without buying new. Check the listing for brand specifics and condition details before bidding.

Commercial & Mining Fleet Vehicles Online Welshpool Auction
More detail

Several dual-cab utes are mixed in, including a 2018 Holden Colorado LTZ and a 2017 Ford Ranger XLT, both popular for their reliability.
The auction runs entirely online, so you can bid from anywhere. Check each listing for registration status, odometer readings, and any known mechanical issues. Ross’s handles a steady flow of ex-government and corporate gear from Perth, so vehicles here often sell below market. If you need a solid truck or 4WD for the job site, this is a good chance to pick one up without the showroom markup.

Caterpillar & Mining Spares, Componentry & Parts Online Welshpool Auction
More detail
This auction is for anyone maintaining heavy earthmoving gear in the Pilbara or beyond. The lot list reads like a workshop parts bin: sealed crates of Komatsu air filters (part 58F-02-00160), a Cat link assembly (8E-9679) from Paraburdoo, and a Weirmine shaft measuring over 3.5 metres long.
The standout is the Caterpillar D11 push arm assembly, a genuine 344-1217 unit. The Triple 7D cab is listed as-is with exposed wiring and paint damage, so factor in a full refurb. Three crusher deflector plates show visible wear, but they’re still usable for spares or repair. A Hitachi assembly frame in a crate is marked "poss used" so inspect before bidding.
Close date is August 3, 2026. Over a dozen lots to sort through. Bid online through Ross’s.
