Attendees wait for the next item to roll onto the ramp at Jeff Martin Auctioneers’ drive-though facility.

Jeff Martin Auctioneers Inc. held a successful early spring public auction in Brooklyn, Miss., Feb. 26 and 27. This was one of the largest auctions Jeff Martin Auctioneers has held to date.

This public auction was held for multiple local counties and contractors who recently decided to liquidate excess equipment inventory due to job completion. The sale also included a large fleet of vehicles from Mississippi Department of Transportation. More than 845 buyers participated in live and online bidding, some from as far as Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Kentucky.

Highlights from the auction include a Caterpillar D6KLGP crawler tractor, Caterpillar 420EST 4x4 loader backhoe, 2010 John Deere 350D LC hydraulic excavator, 2013 Caterpillar 525C skidder, 2013 Mack Granite GU713 TRI/A day cab truck tractor and a Kubota M9540 MFWD tractor.

Jeff Martin Auctioneers' next offsite auction will be the absolute truck and equipment public auction held in Florala, Ala., March 23. This auction will feature construction equipment, dump trucks and support equipment.
