Loader was okay, but service history was sparse.
Purchased a Cat 906M compact wheel loader for around $70,000 AUD. The machine itself was in decent working order, and the hydraulics were good. However, the service history mentioned in the report was pretty sparse, making it harder to track its main… Read more

Telehandler arrived as described, happy days!

Picked up a good deal on a 30kVA diesel generator for around $15,000 AUD. The Sales Agent was helpful with the deposit, but freight to Perth took a bit longer than I'd hoped, nearly two weeks. Understand it's a long haul from Brisbane, but communicat… Read more

Freight took longer than expected, communication could improve.

Decent price on a skid steer, inspection solid.
I've bought from other auctions before, but Heavy Thing's inspection reports are pretty thorough. Grabbed a Bobcat S70 skid steer for about $35,000 AUD. The engine hours were as listed, and all the attachments were there. The 10-day inspection period… Read more

Stoked with my new Kubota mini-excavator!
Won a ripper Kubota KX008-3 mini-excavator on Heavy Thing Auction last month. The bidding was a bit intense, but I snagged it for about $28,000 AUD, which was a fair bit under what dealerships were asking. The Sales Agent called me pretty quick after… Read more
👍 Pros
Great price, excellent agent support, smooth deposit process.

Bidding can be nerve-wracking.

Under-carriage wear worse than expected on roller.
Bought a Dynapac roller for a project in SA. The inspection report on heavything.com said minor undercarriage wear, but when it arrived, it was definitely more than 'minor'. I raised it during the 10-day inspection period, and while the agent was res… Read more
👍 Pros
Agent was responsive during dispute, eventually resolved.
👎 Cons
Inspection report accuracy was off on a key detail, caused delays.
