Sales Auction Company hosted its annual Fall Industrial Equipment Sale Oct. 10 and 11, 2025, at its headquarters in Windsor Locks, Conn.

The two-day event again proved to be a major draw for contractors, dealers and equipment enthusiasts across New England and beyond.

The sale featured a wide variety of earthmoving and heavy construction equipment, along with fleet vehicles, trucks, trailers, aerial and material handling machinery, plus an assortment of land care and farm equipment. The auction lineup included a large inventory of super-clean, late-model surplus machines from area contractors, rental stores, municipalities, local dealerships and private consignors.

Bidding activity was strong, with nearly 1,900 online bidders and 1,000 onsite bidders — some participating from as far away as Pakistan and Peru. Sales Auction Company's hybrid live-and-online format has continued to expand its international reach while keeping the lively in-person auction atmosphere.

Among the many highlights, a Metso model LT-106 track jaw crusher brought $300,000, a 2019 John Deere 950K crawler dozer sold for $237,500 and a 2024 Cat 315-2D excavator went for $139,000.

The sale also included a charitable component: a 125th-anniversary premier box of Mack truck die-cast collectibles sold for $500 to benefit the Shriners Hospital, and a sheet of 10 uncut $5 bills raised $400 for the Wounded Warrior Project. CEG
