Hassalls to hold largest Curtis Island auction

Hassalls to hold largest Curtis Island auction

Central Queensland buyers are expected to snap up several million dollars-worth of second hand equipment at Hassalls’ largest ever Curtis Island auction on Tuesday 5 July from 10am. 

More than one hundred trailers, trucks, buses, 4x4 vehicles and a plethora of generators, diesel tanks, welders, plant and scrap will be auctioned off both on-site and via webcast. 

The monumental sale is set to surpass last month’s auction, which saw more than 400 lots of second hand resource equipment worth more than 1,000,000 dollars sell at a 97 per cent clearance rate.

Hassalls Australasian Sales Director Rob Alexander said his team is expecting huge demand from locals wanting to upgrade the family car and small business owners looking to add to their fleet. 

“It’s staggering, we’ve never had anywhere near this amount of Curtis Island equipment to sell off in one day,” Mr Alexander said. 

“We have a strong range of late model drop deck and flat deck trailers, some with very little use, which pair well with the fabulous range of late model 4WD’s as well as Isuzu and Toyota light commercials including 2013 Prado’s with less than 15,000 kilometres.”

Although the focus is on transport and vehicles, Mr Alexander said there’s something for everyone who comes down to see what’s on offer. 

“We’re also auctioning off a range of heavy-duty generators and welders, portable diesel tanks and other miscellaneous items,” he said.

The auction is one of a series of Curtis Island LNG Project sales on behalf of NYSE-listed Liquidity Services, which has over 7,000 clients, three million registered buyers and achieves over $1 billion in sales annually.
