-
Brisbane Truck, Machinery & General
A dozen trucks are on offer at Slattery’s Brisbane Truck, Machinery & General auction in Pinkenba QLD, closing 10 November 2026. The lineup runs from a 2022 Isuzu NLR Traypack and a 2017 Hino 300 717 council service truck to a 2024 Iveco Eurocargo ML 140-280 Pantech and a run of Mack prime movers including 2017 Trident 535 and Granite 500 6x4s.
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
Mining fleet retirement is the theme of the week. Pickles opens the Mine Haul Logistics retirement sale on 10 November, an online auction running to 12 November out of Geraldton WA with late-model Kenworth, Tristar and Boomerang prime movers plus trailers on offer, viewing by appointment and staggered closing times (Pickles, Nov 8). For buyers chasing ex-mining iron with documented service history, this is the headline catalogue to work through before bidding opens.
Current-model prime movers are drawing serious money elsewhere. Slattery’s ongoing Adelaide truck and machinery auction, closing mid-November, has a 2024 Kenworth T909 6×4 at a $300,000 current bid with 251,716 km on the clock, sitting alongside Scania, Mack and Hino units (Slattery Auctions, Nov 2). IronPlanet’s 12 November sale is showing similar depth, with 2023 and 2021 DAF CF450 8×4 units in Victoria already bid to the $165,000 to $175,000 range alongside Mitsubishi Fuso and Hino lots (IronPlanet, Nov 3). Late-model stock is not sitting cheap.
The breadth of supply is notable. Auction Finder’s 2 November roundup counts 99 truck auctions this week, flagging Pickles ex-military trucks at Thurgoona NSW, Slattery sales in Sydney and Brisbane with Volvo, Mack and Isuzu lots, and an upcoming tunnel dump truck disposal (Auction Finder, Nov 2). Manheim’s BidNow national transport auctions for light and heavy trucks, corporate fleet and trailers closed 4 November, with catalogues still active across the states (Manheim Australia, Nov 8). Pickles also opens its monthly heavy motor salvage sale on 11 November, covering construction, earthmoving and mining equipment plus government and fleet lease vehicles nationwide (Pickles, Nov 8).
Watch the staggered close on the Geraldton sale and the mid-November Slattery and IronPlanet finales, where late bidding on low-kilometre Kenworth and DAF stock will set the tone for pricing into December.

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.

– Auction – Trucks, Utes & Vans – NSW Pickup
More detail
O’maras run regular general auctions out of Lilyfield, covering everything from household goods and furniture to antiques and estate sales. This listing sits in the vehicles lane, focused on trucks, utes and vans, which makes it worth a look if you need a work vehicle or a project base.
The lot list is thin at one entry, so the detail will come from the individual listings rather than the headline. Read each one closely for condition, rego status and any notes on mechanicals before you commit.
Pickup is NSW, so factor in transport and inspection time. Close date is 18 November 2026, which gives you room to do your homework properly.

Daracon Group Surplus Trucks & Civil Equipment Auction
More detail
Daracon Group is clearing surplus trucks and civil equipment, and the two graders on offer are the sort of gear that rarely sits idle on a lot. The 2015 John Deere 670 G and 2016 Caterpillar 12M VHP Plus are both recognised workhorses in road and site preparation, and buying them through a Pickles auction means you’re bidding on assets from a known civil contractor rather than an anonymous trade-in.
The sale is being run out of Gateshead, New South Wales, with bidding closing on 2 December 2026. If you’re outfitting a fleet or replacing an ageing grader, these two lots are worth a close look. Inspect before you bid and check the Pickles listing for condition reports and inspection times.

Ex Mining – Light Vehicles, Trailers, Trucks, Boom Lift & auxiliary equipment
More detail
This is a dispersal of ex-mining assets, the kind of sale where the gear has already done hard site work but still has plenty of life left in it. The headline item is the 2006 JLG E400AJPN, an electric articulating boom lift suited to indoor and outdoor access work. Two portable toilet blocks are also on the list, useful for anyone setting up a site, event or remote camp.
Beyond those lots, the auction covers light vehicles, trailers, trucks and auxiliary equipment, so expect a spread of support gear rather than just one category. Ex-mining stock tends to be maintained to a schedule, which is worth keeping in mind when you inspect.
The sale closes 26 November 2026 in Brisbane, QLD. Check the full lot list and inspection details before bidding.

FLEET – Corporate Truck, Bus, Plant & Machinery
More detail
Autorola Australia runs high-volume disposals of ex-fleet, statutory, abandoned and dealer vehicles across the country, and this listing pulls together trucks, buses, plant and machinery under one banner. It is a broad industrial and commercial clearance rather than a single-vehicle sale, which suits buyers chasing workhorses rather than showpieces.
The catalogue is small at two lots, so the detail matters more than the volume. Expect the usual fleet mix: light commercial and heavy trucks, passenger transport, and plant gear, with salvage-vehicle stock in the categories as well. Read each lot description closely for condition, service history and compliance before you bid.
Buyers should note the close date of 12 November 2026 and confirm inspection and collection arrangements with the auctioneer, since statutory and abandoned stock can carry paperwork quirks. With only two lots, the competition may be thin, but so is the choice.
-

Mostly Unreserved Trucks, Trailers, LV’s & General Plant
More detail
The keyword here is "mostly unreserved". Most of the catalogue sells regardless of price, which changes how you bid. You are not trying to beat a reserve, you are trying to beat everyone else in the room.
The spread covers trucks, trailers, light vehicles and general plant, so there is something for transport operators, earthworks crews and anyone chasing a cheap runabout or work ute. Condition and inspection details will matter more than the lot list alone.
Martin Auctioneers and Valuers runs industrial and commercial asset auctions Australia-wide, so expect the usual terms: inspect before you bid, confirm what is included with each lot, and sort your transport before the hammer falls.
-

UNRESERVED Trucks, LVs, EWPs and More!
More detail
Martin Auctioneers and Valuers runs industrial and commercial asset auctions across Australia, and this unreserved sale puts trucks, light vehicles and EWPs on the block together. Unreserved means everything sells, so the competition is on price rather than whether a lot moves at all.
The mix suits buyers kitting out a fleet or picking up a single workhorse: trucks for haulage, light vehicles for the daily run, and elevated work platforms for anyone who needs height access without buying new. Check the lot list for individual makes and models, and factor in inspection and transport before the 13 November close.
-

QLD, SA/ NT & WA Trucks & Transport (Live)
More detail
This is a live trucks and transport sale with Pickles, covering multiple states across QLD, SA/NT and WA. The single confirmed lot is a 2019 Hino FD 500 1124, a medium-duty truck that suits operators after a dependable work vehicle without the new-truck price tag.
Because the auction runs across several locations, buyers should confirm which site each lot sits at before bidding, and factor in inspection and transport costs if the truck isn’t local. Keep an eye on the catalogue as the 2 December close approaches, since more listings may be added across the participating states.
-

(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.

Mining & Commercial Light Vehicles, Trucks, Plant & Machinery Traditional Karratha Auction
More detail
This is a traditional Karratha auction with real variety: light commercial vehicles, heavy trucks, and plant machinery all in one sale. The mix suits everyone from site operators needing a reliable ute to contractors after earthmoving gear. Ross’s runs regular online, live and in-house auctions out of Perth, and their stock often includes WA Police forfeited items, business closure stock and fleet vehicles, so there’s genuine turnover rather than the same tired lots.
Standout categories here are the light vehicles and plant. Mining-spec 4WDs and traybacks take a beating, so check service history and hours carefully. On the machinery side, loaders, excavators and tip trucks are the big-ticket items, and condition will vary lot to lot. Inspect in person at the Karratha showroom before bidding if you can, and confirm what’s included with each lot, attachments and rego aren’t a given.
The sale closes Saturday 14 November 2026. With business closures and fleet turnover feeding this auction, there’s scope to pick up working gear at sensible money, provided you do your homework on hours, compliance and transport costs back from the Pilbara.
-

Mining Support Fleet, Service Trucks, Stemming Trucks, Waste Disposal Trucks and Buses Online Welshpool Auction
More detail
Ross’s is putting up a mining support fleet from its Welshpool complex, with service trucks, stemming trucks, waste disposal trucks and buses all listed. The lineup suits anyone building out a work fleet or picking up heavy vehicles at auction rather than retail.
Ross’s runs regular online, live and in-house sales out of Perth, and its catalogues often include WA Police forfeited items, machinery, business closures and vehicles. That mix means the surrounding lots can throw up useful gear beyond the headline trucks.
The sale closes 19 November 2026. Inspect the lot list for models and condition before bidding.
-

Sale #7019 – Pilbara Truck & Machinery Auction
More detail
This is an unreserved auction, so everything sells regardless of price. That suits buyers chasing light vehicles, machinery and industrial equipment without the usual reserve games.
Midland sits at the eastern edge of the Perth metro, handy for anyone in the metro area or heading out along Great Eastern Highway. sbauction runs these sales regularly, so the catalogue tends to turn over with fresh stock each time.
Check the lot list for what’s actually on offer and inspect before bidding. With no reserves in play, condition and inspection matter more than the guide price.
-

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.
-

Sale #2046 – Trucks, Transport & Material Handling Equipment
More detail
This is one of a regular series of unreserved sales from sbauction, so everything on the list sells regardless of price. That format suits buyers chasing trucks, transport gear, light vehicles and industrial machinery without the usual reserve games.
The mix spans vehicles, trucks and general industrial equipment, which means there is usually something useful for a trade buyer, a fleet operator or anyone building out a workshop. Unreserved means the competition sets the price, not the vendor.
Bidding closes 5 November 2026. Inspect before you bid and check the lot list for condition notes.

Gollant — Excellent Timber Merchants And Truck Auction Sale?Force=True
More detail
This one leans hard into timber merchant infrastructure. Alongside the two forklifts, there’s a solid run of racking: demountable pallet racking, tree-type timber pack racking and fixed heavy duty freestanding pack racking, plus three more demountable pallet racking units. If you’re setting up or expanding a yard, the racking alone covers a lot of ground.
The Hyster and Nissan forklifts are the pick of the mobile gear, both 2.5 tonne rated. The container mast on the Hyster makes it handy for tight spots. Buyers should note the close date is still to be confirmed, so check the listing for updates before planning inspection or transport.
