Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What metal fabrication equipment do you auction?
We auction press brakes, laser cutters, plasma cutters, waterjet cutting systems, ironworkers, turret punch presses, welding cells, roll forming lines, and supporting material handling equipment. We've managed complete sheet metal fabrication shop closures with 50+ pieces of capital equipment.
What fabrication equipment brands perform best at auction?
Amada, Trumpf, Bystronic, and Cincinnati press brakes and laser cutters consistently draw competitive bids from our national buyer database. Lincoln Electric and Miller welding systems also trade actively. Equipment with low hours and current software versions achieves the strongest pricing.
How do you value a fabrication shop for liquidation?
Our AMEA-certified appraisers assess each press brake, laser, and welding cell based on machine age, tonnage or wattage rating, control generation, condition, and current secondary market demand. We deliver USPAP-compliant OLV and FLV values prepared in the form lenders and bankruptcy courts expect.
Do you handle fiber laser cutting systems specifically?
Yes, fiber laser cutting systems are one of the most actively traded categories in our fabrication auctions. High-wattage fiber lasers from Amada, Trumpf, Mazak, and ByStar attract buyers ranging from job shops to contract manufacturers, and frequently draw interest from international buyers as well.
Can you liquidate a fabrication shop under an Article 9 or bankruptcy proceeding?
Yes, we have extensive experience with court-supervised fabrication equipment liquidations. We coordinate directly with secured lenders, trustees, and legal counsel and provide all settlement documentation required for court approval.
How do you reach fabrication equipment buyers?
We market fabrication assets to half a million industry professionals via Bidspotter, targeted email campaigns, MachineTools.com, LinkedIn, and Google PPC, reaching job shops, contract fabricators, OEM manufacturers, and secondary market dealers nationwide.
