Consign Equipment for Auction

Choosing the right auction company matters. HIGHTRAC brings together the expertise, marketing reach, and transparent processes that equipment owners need to achieve optimal results. Our approach combines nationwide buyer access with personalized service that treats every consignment with the attention it deserves.

We specialize in heavy equipment auctions, including excavators, wheel loaders, dozers, skid steers, and articulated trucks. Our platform also handles trucks, trailers, attachments, and industrial equipment across all major categories.

• Multi-Platform Marketing: Your equipment appears on EquipmentFacts, Proxibid, BidSpotter, HiBid, and our own website, reaching thousands of active buyers.
• Professional Presentation: High-quality photography, detailed specifications, and accurate condition reports that attract serious bidders.
• Competitive Bidding: Live and timed online auctions create urgency and drive prices through active competition.
• Transparent Settlement: Clear fee structures, documented transactions, and prompt payment after successful sales.

Understanding how equipment consignment works helps you make informed decisions and set realistic expectations. Our auction consignment process follows clear steps designed to keep you informed at every stage.

Transparency in fees builds trust. At HIGHTRAC, we believe sellers deserve to understand exactly what costs are involved before committing to consignment. Our commission structure is straightforward: we earn when you earn, aligning our interests with your success.

Commission rates vary based on equipment value, type, and sale format. We discuss all fees upfront during your initial consultation, and every charge appears in your consignment agreement before you sign. There are no hidden fees, no surprise deductions, and no charges for marketing or photography.

Most sellers find that auction commission rates compare favorably to dealer trade-in discounts or the time and expense of managing private sales. The competitive bidding environment often produces final prices that more than offset commission costs.

Equipment consignment timelines typically range from 30 to 60 days from initial contact to payment receipt. This includes time for equipment evaluation, photography, marketing, the auction period itself, and payment processing. Check our auction calendar to see upcoming sale dates.

The actual auction duration depends on format. Our live simulcast auctions conclude on the scheduled sale day, while timed auctions run for a predetermined bidding window. After the sale closes and buyer payment clears, we process settlement within two to three weeks.

HIGHTRAC accepts a wide range of equipment categories for consignment. Our expertise spans construction, agricultural, industrial, and transportation assets. Learn more about selling heavy equipment through our auction services.
