Customers sign up in droves for upcoming Euro Auctions’ next equipment sale

Euro Auctions, the leading international auctioneers of used industrial plant, construction machinery and agricultural equipment, is seeing an impressive array of quality equipment, much unused, being consigned to its upcoming and popular one-day Brisbane auction on 7th February.   This in turn is attracting an ever increasing numbers of bidders to attend and buy.

“We are seeing significant growth in bidder participation in our auctions and these growing turnouts is what is providing consignors with the impetus and drive to consign more and larger capital value pieces of equipment to our sales,” stated Paul Haynes, Euro Auctions’ Territory Manager for NSW. “The last sale included almost 600 quality used and ‘as new’ lots going under the hammer. There was something for everyone and with no reserves some real bargains were on offer. Our upcoming sale in February is shaping up to be one of the best ever in the region and should attract buyers from across Australia and from around the whole Asia-Pacific region.”

Approaching 50 vendors from across the region, one in ten of whom were sending equipment to auction for the first time, consigned lots to the mid-November sale which saw almost 600 lots go under the hammer and achieve a hammer total of almost Au$7.5m. Bidder numbers had also quadrupled from the same sale just 12-months previous and this growth trend looks set to continue as one in 20 of all those attending were first time buyers and half of these successfully purchased the equipment they were after.

Equipment already consigned to the February event include a selection of 2018 Doosan DX340LC, DX300LC and DX225LC excavators; a couple of unused 2018 CAT 308E2 excavators; plus a consignment of unused 2018 Wacker Neuson 6003 6-ton models.

There are also a choice of unused New Holland TDS.95 tractors; a choice of unused Cat CS64B rollers; a choice of Cat and Volvo Motor Graders; unused Komatsu, Hyundai and Apache Wheel Loaders; an array of quality new and used Cat D9R, D8T, D6T, D6N and D6K dozers; plus a choice of unused Manitou Telehandlers. The sale will also include  a varied choice of mini excavators, skidsteer loaders and tracked dumpers; a selection of unused Barford screeners and conveyors; plus a huge selection of miscellaneous unused machinery including water pumps, buckets, trailers and garage / ancillary equipment.  Full details on these and much more are available via the euroauctions.com website

Paul Haynes concluded: “Demand for quality equipment is definitely on the increase so being able to already have so much unused equipment consigned for the next sale is fantastic.  The increased demand for new equipment is also helping drive auction activity in the used equipment sector and we expect to see a large number of consignors allocate quality used equipment to our sale over coming weeks as they seek to buy the new 2019 models from distributors – releasing their used equipment back into the market and providing buyers with the chance to pick up quality used equipment.”
