Euro Auctions was appointed by joint administrators S.J. Woodward and C.P. Dempster of Ernst & Young LLP to dispose the cranes and general construction equipment assets of the hire company that entered administration on 22nd November 2016.
Potential buyers can bid for cranes with capacity from 35t to 220t.
Two 220t all terrain Tadano cranes only registered in 2016 will be auctioned, featuring a 68m main boom, an 11.1m boom extension, and a 76m maximum lift height.
Another 23 cranes with capacity exceeding 100t and 57 in the 50-100t bracket will go under the hammer.
The inventory for the auction also includes more than 45 units of the 30-50t category.
The crane sale will include a host of accessories, such as ballast, test weights, slings, mats, chains and shackles
Jonnie Keys, operations manager for Euro Auctions said: “The quality of all the cranes and the range of models on offer are captivating prospective buyers and from the previous Hewden disposal sales that Euro Auctions has already conducted we know there will be massive interest in this inventory.
“The combination of an exceptional fleet of equipment, targeted marketing to our global network, and our reputation for fair and transparent auctions will ensure there is a good crowd in attendance on the day with many more closely following the sale online. We are beginning to register interest from bidders from every continent, including the biggest crane buyers in the industry and bidder interest is already brisk.”
On 2 March EuroAuctions will sell more than 500 construction equipment machines items from the Hewden Portchester and Dagenham depots.
The three, one day sales held in Redruth, Newton Abbot and Swansea, during week commencing 16 January, collectively saw over 700 ‘smaller item’ lots sold; achieving a total hammer price of over £4.1m.
