Onsite Auctions

Why Choose an Onsite Auction?

Large industrial assets are often best sold where they are installed.

Keeping assets onsite avoids unnecessary transport costs before the sale and allows buyers to inspect machinery in its working environment. Buyers can see how equipment has been installed, understand how it has been used and, where practical, watch it operating before it is decommissioned.

Seeing machinery connected and operating often provides buyers with far more confidence than viewing the same equipment after it has been disconnected, dismantled and relocated.

Greater buyer confidence encourages stronger bidding, helping maximise the value of your assets.

We Manage Everything

Every onsite auction is different, but our service typically includes:

• Asset identification and cataloguing
• Professional photography and video
• Detailed asset descriptions
• Marketing and advertising
• Buyer enquiries
• Inspection days
• Online auction management
• Payment processing
• Health and safety management
• Buyer collections
• Site clearance

From the first asset to the last, we coordinate the entire process, allowing you to focus on your business while we manage the sale.

Built for Complex Projects

Our onsite auctions are designed for projects involving hundreds—or even thousands—of assets.

Whether you're selling heavy machinery, transport fleets, workshop equipment, warehouse assets, stock, office furniture or complete production lines, our systems are built to manage large and complex asset realisations efficiently.

Backed by more than 25 years of experience, the Skylarc team has managed some of New Zealand's largest and most complex online asset realisations.

Safe, Structured Collections

Large onsite auctions can involve hundreds of buyers collecting assets over a short period.

Skylarc operates a structured collection system using online bookings, scheduled collection times and carefully managed workflows to keep collections safe, efficient and well organised.

Many collections take place on active industrial sites where forklifts, cranes and commercial vehicles are operating. Our controlled collection procedures, supervised loading and experienced staff help ensure buyers can collect their purchases safely while minimising disruption to your site.

Complete Transparency

You'll never be left wondering how your auction is progressing.

Throughout the project you'll be able to review listings as they are created, provide feedback before the auction goes live and monitor the auction in real time through your private vendor viewing link.

From catalogue preparation through to final settlement, you'll always know exactly how your asset realisation is progressing.
