Construction plant and machinery auctions

Project completions, fleet reductions, site exits, and insolvency instructions all bring construction plant to market through us. Whether you need to move a single machine before a site handback or sell the entire equipment inventory of a contracting business, the process is the same: on-site valuation, sale through the right method, and buyer collection coordinated around your timetable.

Construction plant disposals often involve a mix of heavy machines, site vehicles, attachments, welfare units, and ancillary equipment. We manage the complete scope under one instruction, so you are not using separate channels for the plant and the vans. For larger sites requiring physical clearance alongside the asset sale, our managed site clearance and decommissioning service covers the full scope.

We offer several sales methods to ensure you raise as much capital as possible from your goods. These include:

• Excavators and earthmoving – Tracked and wheeled excavators, mini excavators, and attachments. JCB, Caterpillar, Volvo, Komatsu, and Takeuchi appear regularly. Buyers include groundworks contractors, plant hire firms, and civil engineering businesses looking to add capacity.
• Telehandlers and lifting equipment – Telescopic handlers, rough terrain forklifts, and spider cranes across a range of lift heights and capacities. Buyers include construction firms, agricultural businesses, and events and logistics operators.
• Dumpers and site transport – Site dumpers, articulated dump trucks, and concrete buggies. Bomag and similar plant come through our sales regularly. Buyers include civil engineers, groundworks contractors, and infrastructure firms.
• Rollers and compaction equipment – Ride-on rollers, plate compactors, and trench rollers from groundworks and highway maintenance businesses. Buyers include contractors and local authority plant operators.
• Concrete and mixing equipment – Transit mixers, cement silos, volumetric mixers, and static mixing plants from concrete businesses and specialist contractors. Buyers include civils contractors, precast manufacturers, and plant hire firms.
• Cranes and lifting plant – Mobile cranes, crawler cranes, and specialist lifting equipment from construction and facade businesses. These often suit tender or negotiated sale given the limited buyer pool for larger cranes.
• Generators and site equipment – Diesel generators, compressors, welfare units, and lighting towers from site clearances. Popular with contractors, plant hire operators, and event companies.
• Recycling and waste processing plant – Granulators, shredders, balers, conveyors, and material handling equipment from recycling businesses. JCBs and specialist waste processing machinery appear alongside general plant in this category.
