Our forklift auctions in Australia

We regularly run forklift auctions through our national network of auction facilities, as well as through dedicated online events. With locations in major capitals and regional hubs, we support buyers and sellers across NSW, QLD, VIC, WA, SA and the NT. Many forklifts are kept onsite at the vendor’s premises for convenience, while others are stored at our secure facilities. Our auctions include a wide range of forklifts and material handling equipment, including: Counterbalance forklifts, Reach trucks, Electric forklifts, LPG forklifts, Diesel forklifts, Rough terrain forklifts, Warehouse equipment and attachments, Yard and industrial forklifts and Low-hours units, ex-rental fleets and high-capacity models. Each forklift auction gives you a chance to buy machinery suited to your material handling needs, whether you work in warehouses, manufacturing plants, freight depots, shipping yards or construction sites. Many of the forklifts available come from well-maintained fleets, corporate businesses and national rental providers — offering reliable options at competitive price points. If you're buying, you can view catalogues in advance with details on height range, capacity, brand, condition and any attachments included. You’ll also find information on tyres, maintenance records when available, serial numbers, and photos showing the overall state of the equipment. This level of detail helps buyers choose the right forklift and reduces surprises at collection time. If you're selling, we provide campaign planning and exposure across our national buyer base, helping you achieve strong results. Your equipment is promoted through targeted digital marketing, email campaigns, and our established industry network. This approach ensures that your listing reaches active buyers who are ready to bid. Online auctions make participation simpler than ever.
