Euro Auctions Crane Sale Attracts an International Audience and a £4.6m Hammer

Loading

Euro Auctions, Europe’s largest auctioneers of industrial plant and heavy machinery, held a specialist one day ‘sale within a sale’ at its flagship auction site in Leeds on Wednesday 14th September.

This special collection of cranes, which sold within the main auction, was a consignment of ex-rental mobile cranes and ancillary assets from M&M Crane Hire, as they retire from the industry

This much anticipated consignment of 22# ex-rental, well maintained mobile cranes included such makes as Tadano, Liebherr, Terex, Grove, and DAF, with models including 35T, 40T, 45T, 50T, 55T, 60T, 90T and 130T machines. The sale attracted a true international audience, and when presented in a line, with boom up, it was a great sight to behold.

The hammer total for this sale of the 22 mobile cranes was £4.6 million. In addition, the main crane inventory, there were additional ancillary items such as: rigging, spreader bars, beams, crane mats, outriggers pads, lifting chains, shackles, and hook blocks, in addition to commercial vehicles, trucks, HGVs, and small tools, which went under the hammer separately.

This auction attracted a true international audience, with bidders from around the globe participating in the sale. However, when the last hammer fell, it was evident that bidders from Europe were the most successful, with lots going to buyers in the UK, Republic of Ireland, Romania, and the Netherlands.
