Industrial Auctions

Industrial auctions are a great way for sell equipment that is no longer needed for corporate operations and for companies to acquire used equipment at affordable prices. According to IBISWorld, revenues from online auctions alone are expected to exceed $619 billion in 2021.

Why Do Companies Use Industrial Equipment Auctioneers?

Bankruptcy, a factory closing or a plant liquidation can leave your company with excess equipment. At Loeb, our industrial equipment auctioneers can provide the experience and expertise needed to get the best prices for your equipment through the auction process. We specialize in industrial auctions, which allows us to provide the best set of services for our clients in the United States, Canada and Mexico. This can help companies to convert excess equipment into cash in hand for a wide range of business purposes.

The Loeb Auctioneers Proven Process

Loeb’s industrial auctioneers have designed a streamlined process to auctions from start to finish. At the time the request for auction services is received, the team is put in place and a project plan is mapped from the time of inspection, through to the online or webcast event, and through post-sale management & finalization.

Appraising the Equipment

It is important to obtain an appraisal of your equipment prior to your industrial auction. If the auction is the result of a forced plant liquidation, factory closing or bankruptcy, you may receive less than the fair market value or replacement cost of this equipment. According to the American Society of Appraisers, the forced liquidation value is usually calculated by determining what the equipment is likely to fetch at auction when sold as-is in a properly advertised and attended event. This can provide industrial equipment auctioneers and companies with more accurate assessments of the expected sales price of industrial equipment sold at auction.
