Current & Upcoming Industrial Equipment Auctions

We use a combination of market research, historical sale data, and industry benchmarks to set informed pricing. This data-driven approach ensures a fair and transparent experience for both buyers and sellers.

 In most cases, on-site inspections are available by appointment. If an open inspection period is offered, details will be noted in the auction listing. Otherwise, our team can help coordinate a convenient visit to the facility so you can review equipment condition firsthand.

We connect winning bidders with experienced rigging and logistics partners who can handle equipment removal, transportation, and delivery. While specifics vary by auction, our goal is to make the post-sale process as seamless and efficient as possible.

Yes. We frequently manage sales of equipment with special requirements—ranging from environmental compliance to industry-specific certifications. Our team will provide any available documentation and guidance to ensure buyers understand relevant regulations and handling procedures.

Each listing links to the bidding platform hosting that sale. Create an account once, agree to the terms of sale, and you can bid in that auction and any future HIG sale on the same platform. Registration is free. Some sales require a deposit or credit card authorization before bidding opens; the listing and the terms of sale say so.

In a timed online auction every lot has its own closing time and bids are placed over several days, usually with extended bidding if a bid arrives in the final minutes. In a live webcast auction an auctioneer sells lots in sequence at a set start time and you bid in real time from your browser. Pre-bids placed before a webcast sale are treated as opening bids.

Yes. The buyer's premium, accepted payment methods, and payment deadline are stated in the terms of sale for each auction and on your invoice. Invoices are emailed after the sale closes. Wire transfer and cashier's check are accepted in every sale; company checks require a bank letter of guarantee. Items are released for removal once payment clears.

Often. Many HIG sales accept pre-auction offers on major machines or complete lines, and some assets are offered by private treaty with no auction date at all. If a listing notes "accepting pre-auction offers", contact the sale manager named on that page. Offers are considered up to the published deadline and the asset is withdrawn from the auction if sold.
