Industrial Equipment & Forklift auctions: what the numbers say

There are 4,313 industrial equipment & forklift auctions open right now across 47 states, with the most in Texas (339), California (184), Ohio (121), Illinois (111) and Florida (103). Most of them are on Proxibid, IronPlanet and GovPlanet. The biggest sellers at the moment are State of Georgia, Department of Medicine and Surgery, Cooper County and Washington County Sheriff's Office. The next to close is FREE SHIPPING NEW 1200-Watt Portable Generator, Super Quiet, 37lb Lightweight, 5 at $231.

Over the past year the UX Search sold archive recorded 1,133 closed industrial equipment & forklift sales, with a middle hammer price of $880 and a range from $1 to $148,000. By state, Texas ran about $3,700 (99 sales), Georgia ran about $120 (95 sales) and California ran about $725 (65 sales). The buyer's premium, sales tax and pickup are on top of the hammer price, and each sale on this page links to the listing it came from.

Prices at government auction follow the seller, not the item: a state fleet that serviced a truck on schedule sells it for more than a county that ran it into the ground, and a sale that closes at 2 PM on a Tuesday draws fewer bidders than one that closes Sunday night. The listing's photos, the seller's name and the location tell you most of what you need; the sold prices on this page tell you the rest.

UX Search links to these auction sites and is not affiliated with them. Bidding, payment and pickup happen on each site, under its own rules.

Before you bid

  • Count the fees. Buyer’s premiums and documentation fees vary by auction. Check each site’s terms before you bid.
  • Check hours and records. Look for hour-meter readings, service records and photos of wear points such as pins, bushings, tracks and tires.
  • See it run if you can. Many equipment sales have inspection days. If you can’t go, hire an inspector.
  • Plan the haul. Heavy equipment may need a permit load and a lowboy. Get a shipping quote before you bid.
