Industrial auctions handle everything from a single forklift to the complete contents of a factory. Stock comes from two main sources: companies retooling or closing a production site, and administrators liquidating an insolvent business. Lots are sold as-is, with viewing days arranged before bidding closes — that visit is where you check run-hours, serial numbers and whether the machine was maintained. Buyers here are typically other manufacturers, dealers and rebuilders rather than end consumers.
