Bid online for handling equipment

There are over 65 lots.

The equipment includes a great selection of handling equipment such as telehandlers, rough-terrain forklifts, forklifts and a yard crane. There is also a very sought-after Merlo Roto telehandler. For those looking for compaction equipment, there is a selection of ride-on and walk-behind rollers and unused tamping rammers.

For the generalists there is a fantastic assortment of TLB’s wheel loaders, skid steers and site dumpers. Bidding for these items starts to close at 2pm on September 11. WH’s online platform, launched in August, is bringing through a large number of remotely located customers who cannot attend live auctions. On the last online engineering auction, bidders joined from as far afield as Swaziland, Zimbabwe, Uitenhage, George, Pietermaritzburg and the Gariep Dam.

Tim Zakis, director at WH Auctioneers, says: “We have been following the trend of online auctions abroad for some time now and we’re pleased that the South African market is maturing rapidly and now finally embracing online auctions with users even bidding from mobile phones and tablets.

“It’s exciting that customers have found our very sophisticated and tailored system easy to use with its real-time feedback. Refreshing screens are a thing of the past.”
