Construction, Plant and Machinery Auctions at BPI
Online plant auctions and machinery auctions at BPI are a fantastic place to buy some heavy-duty kit to keep your site up and running. They’re a rich source of high-quality pre-used items such as compressors, bowsers and cranes that can be bought for a small percentage of original trade prices. If you’re setting up a site or need to replace broken items, the low costs make BPI Auctions a go-to destination for everyone in the trade.
With our easy-to-navigate website, you can simply browse listings and make bids on the machinery that best suits you and your organisation’s needs. Whether you’re a buyer looking to upgrade your existing plant or a seller who needs to streamline your existing machinery, our team are on hand to find the best solution for you.
Used Plant & Machinery – Why Buy Second Hand?
In our auctions, you’ll often find some of the most trusted brands in the business, including Kubota, Nifty, JCB and many more!

We pride ourselves on the sheer variety of lots we have available, so you’ll often find everything you might need from excavators and mini diggers right through to bowsers and compressors.

Plant and Machinery Auctions in the UK
Based in the UK, BPI are specialists in plant and machinery liquidation and asset handling. We regularly hold large sales of machinery, working with companies up and down the UK. We have experts on hand to offer advice and support on all of the items sold along with an in house team to aid and assist with any enquiries regarding the machinery for auction.
Just like our tools and tool hire auctions, the majority of items in a BPI plant & machinery auction come from some of the UK’s largest national corporate companies when they renew their fleets of hire equipment. A crane you might have hired out from a hire company last week could be in a BPI plant & machinery auction the next. This can often make buying equipment at auction a more cost-effective option than hiring.
