Alex Lyon & Son conducted a major job completion inventory auction Dec. 5, 2025, on behalf of Lancaster Development at the contractor's equipment yard and corporate headquarters in Richmondville, N.Y.
The location, west of Albany, served as the backdrop for one of the more significant single-company dispersal sales held in the region this year.
Lancaster Development, recognized as one of New York State's leading heavy highway and site development contractors, decided to liquidate a portion of its fleet following the completion of a major phase of work. The sale drew strong interest from contractors nationwide and internationally, with bidders participating heavily through Alex Lyon & Son's online bidding platform.
Bidder participation was strong throughout the sale with competitive bidding on a wide range of equipment categories.
The auction featured a broad cross-section of late-model and well-maintained construction equipment, reflecting the scope of Lancaster Development's operations. Offered at auction was a large selection of aerial lifts, forklifts, trucks, trailers and various types of support equipment commonly used in heavy civil and site development work.
Among the highlights of the sale were six telescopic forklifts and a substantial lineup of earthmoving equipment. A total of 42 excavators crossed the auction block, along with rubber-tired loaders and vibratory rollers. In addition, nine utility trucks went on the block, drawing steady interest from contractors looking to add dependable support units to their fleets.
The depth and variety of equipment available made the sale attractive to a wide range of buyers, from regional contractors seeking specific machines to larger firms and equipment dealers sourcing multiple units. Online bidding activity remained strong from start to finish, underscoring the continued demand for quality used equipment and the effectiveness of the auction format.
