Can you sell from a site that is still operating?
Yes, and most surplus sales are exactly that. We catalogue around your working hours, run viewing by appointment or on one controlled day, and book collection into slots that suit you. Buyers and their riggers are signed in and escorted. Tell us about restricted hours, floor loadings and anything else that affects access so it is in the catalogue.
