“Our mid-September Dromore auction will include the usual ranges of quality excavators, diggers commercial vehicles, tractors, other popular machinery and assorted plant and equipment,” stated Jonnie Keys, “But this time we will also be auctioning a complete quarry – a slight diversification from what we are best known for but this opportunity should appeal to a number of our regular auction clientele, many of whom already operate similar operations and come to us for their quality plant and equipment, both as consignors and as bidders. We’re ‘quietly optimistic’ that this will be a popular lot, hence its inclusion in the upcoming sale.” Further information on the Carrikallen Quarry can be obtained from any of the regular Euro Auctions Sales Representatives; by visiting the Euro Auctions website at www.euroauctions.com or by contacting Gordon Robinson Property Sales, located at 94 Main Street, Lisnaskea T: 028 6772 2545 or via email at enquiries@gordonrobinsonproperty.com Over 1500 ‘more traditional’ lots of machinery and plant are also scheduled to go under the hammer at the upcoming Dromore auction including a featured choice of Doosan DX225LC excavators plus a number of other models, a good selection of telehandlers, mini-diggers loaders, dozers, dumpers and trailers along with a choice selection of tractors and other agricultural equipment.
