Euro Auctions gets ready for Dubai sale

01 December 2018

Euro Auctions, a global auctioneer of industrial plant, construction equipment and agricultural machinery, is putting the finishing touches to the final sale of 2018 at its Jebel Ali auction site in Dubai, UAE, which will be held on December 10.

Recapping on this year’s trading, auction manager Derek Bleakley said: “We’ve had a strong first year operating in this region and we’re very happy with the progress we’ve made. Every auction we have consistently added a good volume of new buyers and sellers as we continue to increase our footprint in the area.”

With more than 400 lots scheduled to go under the hammer, there is increasing interest in the range of equipment available.

Bleakley said the company had secured a great range of equipment for this auction including Cat 966 and 980 wheel loaders, a range of JCB telehandlers, excavators of all sizes, access platforms and a vast choice of dozers as well as a range of commercial vehicles and backhoe loaders.

He expected bidding to be strong with Euro Auctions’ international presence bringing a global audience to the event.

Established in 1998 in Dromore, Northern Ireland, Euro Auctions conducts over 60 major auctions every year around the globe, on 10 sites, in seven countries and on four continents. It has nine more permanent auction sites in England, Germany, Spain, Australia, the US and the UAE.

The company also specialises in off-site sales which included the largest ever one-day auction of mobile cranes, where 127 units were sold for €32 million ($36.27 million). It also offers an online sales platform and markets equipment globally to over 150,000 buyers in over 95 countries.

In the UAE, Euro Auctions has leased a 91,000-sq-m site at Jebel Ali Free Zone that includes a purpose-built auction complex covering over 3,000 sq m with a 360-seat, fully air-conditioned enclosed auction arena as well as ancillary buildings, workshops and infrastructure.

Other upcoming Euro Auctions sales include: a one-day sale in Ashland, Ohio, the US, on December 6 under its US brand Yoder & Frey; a two-day sale in Dormagen, Germany on December 12-13; and a two-day auction at the company headquarters in Dromore, Northern Ireland on December 15-16.
