Cooney Industrial Auctions

Cooney Industrial Auctions was founded in 1998 and works the Irish liquidation market as a specialist rather than a generalist — industrial plant disposal and valuation, with operations in Dublin and Cork. The distinction matters in a market as small as Ireland's, where most auctioneers cover everything.

What you can buy

• Industrial plant from liquidations and closures.
• Machine tools and production equipment.
• Warehouse and materials handling equipment.
• Catering and commercial equipment.
• Office contents.

How the bidding works

The site keeps current sales and past sales separate, with the archive showing the kind of work the firm takes on. Because instructions come from liquidators, sales appear when a business fails rather than on a fixed calendar. Valuation is offered as a service alongside disposal.

What to check before you bid

Liquidation lots are collected from the failed company's premises to a deadline the liquidator sets, and industrial plant usually needs a rigger and a lorry rather than a van. Establish the removal window and any crane requirement before bidding. Goods are sold as they stand with no warranty.
