Williams Auction Looms on the Horizon

The first “Williams Auctions” unreserved auction is now just two weeks away and promises to be a great event. The Williams team promise a return to auctions how they used to be, with a live auctioneer, moving from lot to lot, performing a live public auction on each piece of kit, with all the buzz and atmosphere that they generate.

Some weeks ago, I went along to check out the brand-new purpose-built facility in Ollerton, Knutsford, in Cheshire to take a look at some of the equipment that was gathering there ahead of the auction on 22^nd April.

Dominating the assembled mini excavators were a large number of Hitachi machines which includes no less than seven Zaxis 26U models which were in immaculate condition.

In equal measure, there was a massive ensemble of John Deere tractors, once again in fantastic condition and low-houred.

There’s also a wide variety of site dumpers up for grabs at the auction, ranging 1-tonne Hi-Tip models up to 9 and 10 tonne forward tipping models, from the likes of Thwaites, JCB and Terex.

A whole raft of low houred Hydrema 912F low ground pressure 12-tonne articulated dumptrucks are available, ex Ashbrook Plant so well serviced and maintained units.

Also coming into the auction from Ashbrook Plant are a number of Caterpillar 308E2 CR compact radius 8-tonne class midi excavators.

Viewing of the machines takes place from the 19^th April, in the run up to the main auction on the 22^nd. Find out more by visiting the Williams Auctions website here in this link.
