Plant Hire Fleet Disposal
Plant hire fleets run support vehicles hard: delivery and collection trucks, beavertails, tippers and dropsides that spend their lives loaded and on rough ground. When they come out of the fleet they are worn, and they need to reach the buyers who understand that profile.
Vehicles we typically handle for plant hire operators
Every sector runs a recognisable vehicle mix, and the buyers who want those vehicles are not the same in each case. For plant hire the mix is usually:
- Beavertails and plant transporters
- Tippers and dropsides
- Large panel vans for fitters and service teams
- 4x4 pickups with towing equipment
- Welfare units
Why plant hire fleets dispose
Support vehicles are replaced on condition and utilisation rather than a neat calendar cycle. Fleet size also flexes with construction demand, so a downturn releases delivery vehicles quickly.
- Condition-led replacement of hard-worked vehicles
- Fleet size flexing with construction demand
- Depot rationalisation
Winches, ramps and towing gear
Beavertail beds, winches, ramps and tow equipment stay fitted — they are the reason a specialist buyer wants the vehicle. Worn ramps and tired winches are still worth more in place than removed.
Getting the right buyers in front of your vehicles
Sector-specific vehicles sell best to the trade buyers who need that exact build. Through the EAMA Group auction network your plant hire vehicles are presented to a national base of dealers, operators and specialists rather than a single trade buyer making one offer — which is where the value difference on converted and equipped vehicles comes from.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do beavertails and plant transporters sell well at auction?
Yes. They have a dedicated buyer base and typically attract stronger competition than an equivalent plain flatbed.
Can you collect vehicles that are not roadworthy?
Yes, they are recovered on a transporter at no extra cost.
Is there a minimum number of vehicles?
No. We handle single vehicles and rolling programmes of hundreds, though anything over about five is usually planned as a staged disposal.
How much does collection cost?
Collection is included across mainland UK, including recovery for vehicles that cannot be driven.
