Online auction of Bord Na Móna surplus machinery

An auction of Bord Na Móna machinery that is now surplus to requirements is to take place on Wednesday July 1.

The auction is taking place now, following postponement prior to the Covid-19 lockdown, and will feature more than 200 lots.

Bidding is open to everyone online and the sale will have a live auctioneer from Wilsons Auctions, the largest independent auction company in Ireland and the UK.

There will be more than 90 tractors including four-wheel-drive and two-wheel-drive Ford, Massey Ferguson, Fiat, John Deere and Landini machines.

Other items are excavators, Caterpillar tracked dozers, Gardiner four-cylinder engines, buckets, Ford and Citroen panel vans, plus tyres and various equipment and plant parts.

Ricky Wilson, director and auctioneer at Wilsons Auctions, said: “We’re delighted to continue our work with Bord na Móna having been instructed to manage the auction of Lots at its Derrygreenagh site in Offaly.

“Following the success of the auction in September, and the postponement of this auction in March, we are proud of the online auction services we are providing, meaning a solution can be found that complies with the current government advice.

“This auction will feature a large volume of surplus to requirement stock, managed by our expert online auction team and I would encourage everyone to register as soon as possible, so they can bid online.”

Viewings will be conducted with strict social distancing procedures in place and will be by appointment only, running over four days – Thursday June 25, Friday 26, Monday 29 and Tuesday 30, from 10am until 4pm, with one-hour time slots.

Groups will be limited to two people per viewing.

Live tractor or machinery video walk-arounds are available on request for registered bidders.

All lots can be viewed online and interested bidders who would like to register for online bidding can do so through the Wilsons Auctions website.

Please register no later than 24 hours before the auction starts and for more details call 01 464 2800 or email dublin@wilsonsauctions.com.
