Metalworking equipment auctions

Whether you are retiring after decades in the fabrication trade, closing a manufacturing site, going through a formal insolvency process, or simply clearing surplus equipment after a retooling programme, BTG Eddisons Asset Sales manages the complete disposal of your metalworking equipment.

We handle valuation, sale, buyer collection, and site clearance, so you are not coordinating multiple parties while trying to wind down a site. With us, you can sell fabrication lines, welding bays, grinding and finishing equipment, lathes, racking, tooling, and ancillary workshop equipment. We offer multiple disposal routes for your metalworking tools, including:

• Fabrication and forming – Guillotines, press brakes, folders, bending rolls, and section rollers form the core of most workshop clearances we handle. Buyers typically include fabrication shops, structural steelworkers, and training providers.
• Cutting and shearing – Bandsaws, cold saws, plasma cutters, laser cutters, and waterjet cutters across a wide range of capacities and ages. Buyers range from small trade workshops to larger subcontract manufacturers sourcing additional capacity.
• Welding equipment – MIG, TIG, and spot welding equipment, welding positioners, rotators, and fume extraction systems. Buyers include fabrication shops, engineering contractors, and training establishments.
• Grinding, finishing, and surface treatment – Pedestal grinders, linishers, shot blasters, and powder coating ovens. Buyers include finishing shops, subcontract coaters, and engineering businesses expanding their in-house capability.
• Lathes and turning – Centre lathes, turret lathes, and gap-bed lathes across a wide range of swing and bed lengths. Buyers range from general engineering workshops to specialist precision turning shops.
• Ancillary and workshop equipment – Racking, lifting gear, compressors, tooling cabinets, and inspection equipment round out most full workshop clearances. Popular with trade buyers setting up or expanding a workshop.

Whether you are buying a single machine or selling an entire workshop, here is what we bring:

• A buyer network of more than 26,000 registered contacts across the metalworking, fabrication, and engineering sectors.
• Director-led assistance from instruction to site clearance.
• Three disposal routes: online auction, sealed-bid tender, and negotiated sale, matched to the asset type and your timeline.
• Valuations led by an RICS-Chartered Machinery Valuation Surveyor on the appropriate basis for your situation.
