AFTER more than 40 years in the business, the directors of Mackay Haulage, Angelo and Sam Sorbello, are retiring. As a result, their entire inventory of haulage equipment is to be auctioned by GraysOnline. The 100% digital auction platform is hosting an unreserved auction from 23 April, including a wide range of premium haulage equipment.

Chris Corbin, CEO of GraysOnline, said, “GraysOnline, have developed a strong relationship with Mackay Haulage Co. over many years. Forty-four years in the industry is the end of an era and I am honoured they have chosen our e-commerce marketplace to sell their stock.”

The entire Mackay Haulage fleet is up for auction. This consists of a wide selection of assets, including 35 vehicles (prime movers, body trucks and light vehicles); 35 trailers (such as low loaders and specialist steerable extending trailers, curtain-sided trailers, flat top trailers, dollies and extending trailers); 17 different pieces of specialist equipment (2 cranes, 13 forklifts and a portable building and a container).

Each piece of equipment or machinery is described on the GraysOnline site, under the heading “MHC”. Videos and plenty of close-up, detailed pictures, along with a comprehensive description, showcase each lot on offer. Over the years, the Mackay Haulage company have been meticulous in servicing and caring for their vehicles. A complete service and maintenance history is displayed for each vehicle. The vehicles have all been working until fairly recently, so are “good to go” once purchase is complete.
