Plant Machinery Auctions

When you’re running high-volume sales across categories like vehicles, plant, agri or trade stock, every second counts. BidHarvest® gives you the tools to streamline your live webcast auctions with Choice and Parcel Lot functionality, making it easier to move grouped lots, extract more value from each round of bidding, and keep both the auctioneer and bidders in sync.

Whether you pre-define your lot groupings in advance or let the auctioneer direct the clerking team on the fly, BidHarvest delivers a smooth, responsive experience that reduces sale time while increasing competition.

BidHarvest’s timed bidding feature gives auctioneers the tools to run automated online auctions that attract more bidders, generate faster sales, and reduce admin. With flexible closing rules, responsive design, and integrated payments, you can list and sell lots 24/7 – perfect for high-volume, trade-focused sales.

BidHarvest® supports true single lot auctions as standard, making it easy to run “always on” listings within a continuous auction environment or marketplace format. This enables auctioneers to list individual items the moment they’re consigned — no batching, no bottlenecks, no need to wait for the next full catalogue.

Whether you’re selling plant, salvage, vehicles, trade returns or curated collections, the Single Item Auction format offers operational agility, increased throughput, and a stronger digital footprint.

Not everything needs to go to auction. Whether you’re dealing with unsold stock, fixed-price vendor consignments, or opportunistic one-offs, the ability to sell outside the auction format is essential.With Buy Now and Make Offer functionality built directly into BidHarvest®, you can give bidders a fast, familiar retail-style experience while maintaining your auction platform, vendor processes, and reporting structure.

Modern auction businesses don’t just run timed or live events. Many also need the ability to sell stock directly, particularly when handling trade inventory, fixed-price clearances, retail overstock, or vendor-specific items that aren’t best suited to an auction format.

With BidHarvest®, you don’t need Shopify, WooCommerce or any third-party plugins. Our Buy Now ecommerce module is built in, giving you everything you need to list and sell stock directly without leaving the platform.

Auction visibility doesn’t have to end at your own website. With BidHarvest®, you can push your lots to specialist marketplaces, high-traffic directories, and vertical platforms bringing your catalogue to the buyers, not just waiting for them to come to you.

Our 3rd party data feeds feature is designed to increase exposure, boost bidding activity, and give your stock a wider digital footprint automatically.

Whether you’re syndicating your auction catalogue to platforms like the-saleroom.com, EasyLive, iBidder, BidSpotter, or other aggregators, clerking across multiple bidding environments can be a challenge. With BidHarvest®, that’s now effortless.

Our integrated clerking tools are designed to give your team full control and real-time visibility across every channel — whether you’re running a live webcast sale, a timed online auction, or a hybrid event with multiple third-party partners.
