Isuzu Trucks HIAB Tail Lift, Gull Wing, Tool Box Online Offsite Auction
Truck gear including a ZEPRO hydraulic tail lift and a custom gull wing tool box is on offer in an online offsite auction.

Ross’s is running the sale from Wattle Grove, WA.
-
Wurruk Truck and Machinery Auction
Trucks, lifting gear, and site equipment are all going under auction in Wurruk, with Slattery running the sale. The lot list includes a 2006 NPR 300 4×2 tray truck with toolboxes, plus multiple stillages loaded with slings, hoists, and garden tools.
FAQ
Where do most Australian truck auctions come from?
The bulk come from fleet disposals by transport companies, logistics operators, and government bodies cycling out aging vehicles. Pickles and Manheim handle the largest volumes.
What should I check before bidding on a truck?
Engine hours, service history, ADR compliance, and registration status. For prime movers and heavy vehicles, a pre-purchase mechanical inspection is strongly recommended. Most auction houses will facilitate access for inspections prior to the sale.
Are trucks sold with roadworthy certificates?
Not as a rule. Most commercial vehicles are sold as-is. Budget for a roadworthy inspection and any required repairs before putting a purchase back into service.
What are the buyer’s premium rates for trucks?
Typically 10–18% plus GST. Some houses have a capped premium on high-value lots and you must check the specific terms for each sale.
Can I finance a truck bought at auction?
Trends & Insights
Fleet replacement season is doing the heavy lifting on supply this week. Hannah’s Haulage is clearing six prime movers and 14 late-model trailers through Pickles in a standalone online sale running Sept 28 to 30, with Volvo and Mack iron up front and Vawdrey trailers behind (bigrigs.com.au, Sep 23). That is the pattern to note: operators are not trickling stock out, they are packaging whole fleets into single events and letting the market clear them in one hit.
Manheim is running the same play from the corporate side, opening a National Fleet Rotation Auction for K&S Freighters from Sept 24 with a 2018 Scania G480, 2018 Iveco Stralis 460 and 2020 Scania R580 among the lots, closing Sept 29 via BidNow (Auction Finder, Sep 21). That sits alongside six national transport auctions Manheim opened mid-September, closing Sept 22 to 23, spanning prime movers, rigids and trailers from corporate and finance sources nationwide (Manheim Australia, Sep 18). Finance-driven liquidation stock continues to pad out the catalogues rather than drive them.
For buyers chasing volume over pedigree, Smith Broughton is the one to watch, with more than 120 unreserved lots including a 2018 Kenworth K200, plus dollies and floats, closing at noon WST on Sept 24 (bigrigs.com.au, Sep 22). Pickles is keeping the pipeline full into next week too, with its National Transport Logistics Rotation Sale and end-of-project disposals opening Sept 28 to 29 across multiple states (Pickles, Sep 23).
Watch the Sept 24 Smith Broughton close and the Sept 29 Manheim close for the clearest read on whether late-model prime mover bids hold firm against the softer new truck market.

Rod’s Tips
Run a PPSR check on every truck you’re serious about. Commercial vehicles can carry significant encumbrances. A $2 PPSR check is the cheapest insurance you’ll buy.
End-of-lease fleet disposals are where consistency is. Transport companies sell on a schedule and condition varies less than private sales and most have some form of service documentation.
Factor in transport and compliance costs before bidding. A truck that needs a roadworthy, new tyres etc., and freight from Brisbane to Adelaide is a different proposition than its hammer price suggests.
Heavy vehicle auctions at Manheim and Pickles run to a timetable. Major fleet clearances are announced 2–3 weeks ahead. You should get in an get your vehcile research doen as early as possible.

Isuzu Trucks HIAB Tail Lift, Gull Wing, Tool Box Online Offsite Auction
More detail
This is a two-lot clearance aimed squarely at truck operators and body builders. The headline item is the ZEPRO tuck under slider lift, a 2008 unit rated to 2500kg with a 2400mm x 1900mm folding aluminium platform and remote control. ZEPRO gear is well regarded in the freight game and this one comes with the Hiab supply history.
The second lot is a custom-built gull wing walk-in tool box and shelf unit, sized at 2300mm x 1400mm x 1500mm high, with heavy duty hydraulic gas struts on both access doors. It also carries an aluminium framed cargo rack measuring 2200mm x 1200mm, designed to mount on a flat tray truck. If you run a service truck or want to tidy up your tool storage, this is worth a look.
Ross’s holds regular online, live and in-house auctions out of Perth, covering WA Police forfeited goods, machinery, business closures and vehicles. Inspection details and collection terms are listed on the auction page.
-

Sleipner DB120 120 Low Loader With Caterpillar 740 Prime Mover Online Offsite Auction
More detail
This is a two-piece heavy haulage setup: a Sleipner DB120 low loader matched to a Caterpillar 740 prime mover. Both are workhorses in the mining and civil space, and Port Hedland is exactly where you would expect to find gear like this coming out of service.
Ross’s runs regular online, live, and in-house auctions out of Perth, covering WA Police forfeited items, machinery, business closures, and vehicles. That mix means listings can shift quickly and stock turns over often.
If you are in the market for float and prime mover capacity, this one is worth a look before the 22 October close. Inspect the lot details and condition reports through the listing.
-

Komatsu HD1500-7 Haul Truck Fleet Disposal Online Auction
More detail
This is a fleet disposal, not a one-off sale, which means multiple Komatsu HD1500-7 units are on the block. These are big rigid-frame haul trucks, the kind that move ore all day on Pilbara sites, and buying from a disposal rather than a dealer changes the maths.
Ross’s runs regular online, live, and in-house auctions out of Perth, covering WA Police forfeited items, machinery, business closures, and vehicles. That mix tells you the operation is used to moving industrial gear and clearing fleets, so inspections and paperwork should be straightforward.
If you run a mine, a quarry, or a civil outfit, a haul truck fleet is worth a look. Parts alone on HD1500-7 units add up fast, and a fleet sale can suit operators chasing spares or a working truck without retail pricing.
-

Caterpillar 793C Prime Mover & Bosich Low Loader Trailer Online Auction
More detail
This is a single-lot online auction, which keeps things simple. What is on offer is a Caterpillar 793C prime mover matched to a Bosich low loader trailer, a combination aimed at moving oversized and heavy loads. The 793C is a name that carries weight in mining and heavy haulage circles, and Bosich trailers are a known quantity in WA for low loader work.
The auction is being run out of the Pilbara, WA, by Ross’s, who regularly hold online, live, and in-house sales from Perth. Their stock typically includes WA Police forfeited items, machinery, business closures, and vehicles, so this listing sits within a broader pattern of industrial and heavy transport gear passing through their rooms.
If you are in the market for heavy haulage equipment, this is a straightforward one to assess. One lot, one close date, and a clear look at what you are bidding on.
-

Light Vehicles, Trucks, Underground Equipment, Lighting Towers, Submersible Pumps & Auto Repair Liquidation Traditional Kalgoorlie Auction
More detail
Ross’s runs regular online, live and in-house auctions out of Perth, and this Kalgoorlie sale pulls together a broad spread of working gear. The headline categories are light vehicles and trucks, but the underground equipment, lighting towers and submersible pumps give it real range for anyone outfitting a mine site, civil job or yard.
The auto repair liquidation is the wildcard. Business closure sales tend to move fast and cover a lot of ground, so expect workshop tools, parts and equipment sitting alongside the vehicles and machinery.
It’s a traditional format auction, closing 17 October 2026. Buyers in the Goldfields can inspect at the Kalgoorlie showroom on Great Eastern Highway.
-

Sale #4100 – Salvage Trucks & Light Vehicles.
More detail
This is a proper clearance of damaged and end-of-life commercial gear. The Isuzu NPR with the tray body is a common site truck, ideal for a panel beater or parts recycler. The Fuso Canter is a workhorse that often gets written off for minor panel damage. The HiAce is a solid candidate for a van conversion or courier rebuild if the structural bits are straight.
Beyond the trucks, expect a mix of passenger cars and 4x4s, plus whatever industrial equipment sbauction has collected. The unreserved format means no reserve price holding things back. First in with the highest bid takes it. Check the photos carefully for damage reports and don’t assume anything is driveable. The sale closes 1 July, so get your inspection done early.
-

Sale #2044 – Trucks, Transport & More
More detail
This is an unreserved sale, so everything must go. The lot list leans heavily on work-ready utes and trucks, including a 2008 Isuzu NPS 300 tray truck and a 2012 Toyota Hiace van. If you need a solid fleet vehicle or a site runabout, there is decent variety here.
Buyers should inspect before bidding. The auction house runs regular sales, so they move stock quickly. Check the photos for each vehicle’s condition, as some show typical work-site wear. Registration status varies per lot, so factor that into your budget. Bidding closes 29 July 2026.
-

Sale #2045 – Trucks, Transport & Material Handling Auction
More detail
This unreserved sale is a proper mixed bag for anyone after working vehicles or parts and accessories. The truck side looks strong, with a mix of Japanese and European brands typical of fleet and owner-operator turn-over. Expect everything from daily-driver condition to project material, so inspect the photos and read the condition reports carefully.
Beyond the trucks, there’s the usual supporting cast: toolboxes, tie-downs, tow bars, and electrical gear that often slips through cheap when bundled. If you’re chasing a work ute or a second truck for a small fleet, this is the sort of auction where you can pick something up without the dealership song and dance. The sale closes on 17 September, and it’s all unreserved, so the market sets the price. Get your inspections done early and have your transport sorted before bidding.

Multi-Vendor Truck & Machinery Auction
More detail
This is a multi-vendor sale, so the 70 lots span several Queensland sites rather than one yard. That means checking each lot’s location before you bid, since pickup arrangements will vary.
The headline act is the late-model prime mover pair: a 2022 Kenworth T610 SAR and a 2021 Western Star 4864 Series 6×4. Both are current-generation heavy haulers and the kind of stock that usually holds value well.
Beyond the trucks, there’s a Haulmark 3ST37 A trailer and a 2008 Isuzu FVY 295 1400 6×4 refrigerated pantech for those chasing working transport gear. With plant and equipment also in the mix, it’s worth a full scroll through the catalogue before close.
-

Trucks, Vans, Shipping Containers & General Goods Liquidation Sale
More detail
Pickles is clearing a mixed book of commercial and industrial gear out of Brisbane, and the spread is wider than your average truck auction. Trucks and vans cover the vehicle side, while shipping containers and general goods round out the sale for buyers chasing storage, fit-out or resale stock.
The mix suits a few different buyers: transport operators after another workhorse, tradies needing a van, and anyone who wants a container for yard storage or a conversion project. General goods lots can be where the value hides, so read the manifest closely rather than bidding on the headline items alone.
It all closes 7 October. Inspect what you can, check condition reports on the vehicles, and have your numbers sorted before the timer runs down.
-

Forklift, Pallet Truck, & Excavators Auction
More detail
Three lots, three very different jobs. The HELI pallet truck handles the warehouse floor, while the two RIPPA mini excavators, an R319 and an R10, cover the digging side of things.
Both RIPPAs are 2026 builds, so you are looking at near-new gear rather than well-used stock. That matters if you want tight hydraulics and low hours without paying new-machine money.
Worth a look if you run a small earthworks crew, a landscaping outfit, or just need a pallet truck that earns its keep.
-

Forklift, Pallet Truck, & Excavators Auction
More detail
This is a compact sale, so every lot counts. The HELI pallet truck handles the warehouse work, while the two RIPPA mini excavators, an R319 and an R10, cover digging and trenching jobs on tight sites. Both excavators are listed as 2026 models.
Three lots means less competition per item than you would find in a larger plant clearance. Check the listing for inspection details and closing time before you bid.

Forklift, Pallet Truck, & Excavators Auction
More detail
Three lots, three very different jobs. The HELI pallet truck handles the warehouse floor, while the two RIPPA mini excavators, a 2026 R319 and a 2026 R10, cover the dirt work. Buying both RIPPAs together lets you scale a job site from tight-access trenching up to larger earthmoving without sourcing from two separate sellers.
Both excavators are 2026 builds, so you’re looking at near-new machines rather than well-worn gear. The R319 is the bigger of the pair; the R10 is the compact unit for confined spaces. The HELI pallet truck rounds out the set for anyone kitting out a yard or depot in one hit.
Inspection details and closing time are still to be confirmed, so check the listing for updates before bidding.

Trucks, Trailers, Earthmoving, Plant & Equipment – Multi Vendor NSW
More detail
This is a multi-vendor clearance spread across various NSW locations, so buyers should check each lot’s pickup details before bidding. The mix leans heavily toward commercial and industrial gear, with the 2022 Kubota U55-4 excavator the standout for anyone after near-new earthmoving equipment. A Weeke Vantech 480 CNC router rounds out the plant side for workshop operators.
Trailer and marine buyers get two solid options: the 1978 Fruehauf dual axle extendable flat top, a workhorse design that has lasted decades for good reason, and the 2017 Global Force Marine Raptor with its matching 2017 Oceanic trailer. Both suit buyers who want ready-to-work gear rather than a project.
With only four lots listed, competition will concentrate on the headline items. Closing date is still to be confirmed, so keep tabs on the Grays listing for timing updates.
-

Truck Body, Workshop, Plant & Equipment
More detail
The headline item is a truck body built to rental spec: dry freight, FRP honeycomb construction. That’s a lightweight, durable panel setup that suits fleet work and holds up to daily punishment. If you’ve priced one new, you’ll know what a used one in good nick is worth to you.
Welding gear is the other draw. The Castolin Eutectic Total Arc 270, also badged as the Fronius TPS2700, is a mobile MIG unit aimed at serious workshop use. Alongside it sits an Abicor Binzel PPG 26 push-pull MIG gun rated at 300amp with an 8m lead, plus a BOC mobile MIG welder.
With 89 lots spanning vehicles, trucks, plant and industrial categories, there’s plenty beyond the featured items to sift through. Close date is still TBC, so check the listing for timing before you plan a bid.

– Expressions of Interest – EOI – Car & Truck Smash Repair Workshop Equipment
More detail
This is an EOI rather than a standard timed auction, which means the auctioneer is gauging interest before deciding how to proceed. The listing covers equipment suited to a car and truck smash repair operation. O’maras runs regular general auctions in Lilyfield, covering household goods, furniture, antiques and estate sales, so this sits outside their usual mix.
Given the single-lot format, expect to make direct contact about what is included and how the process works. Close date is still to be confirmed, so register your interest early if you want details as they come to hand.

(SOLD) 2023 Isuzu NQR 87-190 Tabletop Truck Online Auction
More detail
This is a single-lot auction for a 2023 Isuzu NQR 87-190 fitted with a tabletop body. It’s a current-model truck with very low kilometres, so you’re effectively buying a nearly new vehicle at a used price. The NQR platform is a proven performer in Australia, known for its 7.5-tonne GVM and the reliable 190hp diesel engine.
The tabletop body is a practical choice for carrying building materials, pallets, or general freight. With the auction closing in late May 2026, there’s time to inspect and arrange finance. Given the current supply constraints on new trucks, this could be a smart buy for anyone needing a solid work truck without the dealer premium.
Buyers should factor in the usual online auction fees and arrange their own transport. The truck is likely available for inspection prior to the close, so get in touch with liquidassets to confirm viewing details.

-

Truck & Machinery Auction – NT
More detail
Grays has put together a compact but useful catalogue for anyone chasing working gear in the NT. Fourteen lots cover vehicles, trucks and plant equipment, with the headline act being a 2004 Freightliner FL80 6×4 tipper. That’s a proper tipper spec, twin steer and ready for site work.
The 1993 Mitsubishi Fuso FP418 flatbed is another solid pick, the sort of truck that earns its keep on cartage without asking for much. Rounding out the featured lots are a 1984 Nippon Sharyo DH508-105M and a circa 1980s Tripar flat deck tri-axle semi trailer, both worth a look if you need heavy haulage capacity.
Lots are held across various locations in the Northern Territory, so check the individual listings for inspection and pickup details before bidding. Close date is still to be confirmed.
-

Truck & Machinery Auction – NT
More detail
This is heavy diesel gear, not light commercial filler. The Kenworth C500T stands out with its Cummins 600HP engine, a spec that suits remote NT haulage where grunt matters. The 2014 Mack CSMR agitator is a late-model concrete unit, and the Iveco tipper and Stralis prime mover round out a lineup that covers tippers, prime movers and concrete work in one sale.
Bids close TBC, so check the Grays listing for timing and inspection details. With 22 lots spread across multiple NT locations, confirm pickup logistics before you commit.
-

Expressions Of Interest – 2022 Tristar Road Train Triaxle Side Door Tipper Quad Sets – 2 Full Sets
More detail
These are 2022 builds, which puts them near the top of the used tipper market for age. Tristar gear is well known in road train country, and side door tippers suit operators who need to load and unload from the side as well as tip out the back.
The sale is two full quad sets, not a single trailer or a partial combination. That matters if you run road trains and want matched equipment rather than piecing a set together over months.
Expressions of interest means the process is not a standard timed auction, so get your details and inspection sorted early. Berrimah is the pickup point, and anyone running Top End freight will know what that means for logistics.

Gollant — Truck And Car Exhaust Manufacturers And Installers Auction
More detail
This is a full shop breakup, not a few leftover tools. Gollant is clearing the equipment behind a truck and car exhaust manufacturing and installation business in Melbourne, and the big-ticket items are the benders. A Steelmaster automatic tube, pipe and exhaust bender leads the list, backed by two Bend-Pak hydraulic exhaust bending machines. Each comes with its dies, which matters if you plan to put them straight to work.
The lifting side is just as solid. There’s a four post Stertil Koni 5500kg truck hoist system, plus a BendPak fixed four post truck hoist. That’s serious capacity for anyone running a workshop that handles trucks, not just cars.
Exhaust fabrication gear of this scale doesn’t move through auctions often, and buyers chasing a full setup rather than one machine should look closely at what’s bundled here.

Truck & Machinery Auction – SA
More detail
This is a working fleet clearance rather than a mixed household sale, so the lots are worth a look if you run transport, civil or earthmoving work. The 2016 Fuso Canter 515 is the newest of the group and the most versatile, a 4×2 tray truck that suits general cartage or a tray swap for a specific job.
The 2005 Sterling L Series 6×4 tipper is the heavy hitter, built for bulk haulage and site work. Behind it sits a 2002 Hamelex White D3 Super Dog trailer, a common pairing for operators running tipper and dog combinations on regional routes.
The 2013 Daewoo BH117 bus stands apart from the trucks. At 54 seats it suits charter, school or community transport work. Condition reports and inspection details are worth checking before you bid, since commercial gear at this age varies widely from lot to lot.
