Business asset auctions in Middlesbrough

A large machine shop with many machines and tools

Heavy is the word for Middlesbrough. Pipework, vessels, fabrication and process plant along the Tees run to weights that need cranage rather than a forklift, and the estates at Riverside Park and Cargo Fleet were built for exactly that. Weight, lifting points and the route out shape the sale.

We catalogue at the works, open an online timed sale to trade buyers across the UK and further afield, and run a viewing day before it closes. Plant hire fleets and haulage vehicles come through the same route. A single large machine can go by private treaty. Sellers who need the yard clear sooner have us collect and sell from ours. Stockton-on-Tees and Hartlepool are close enough for a viewing day.

Middlesbrough is the main town of the Teesside industrial area. Chemical and process plants line the Tees, with steel fabrication, pipework, engineering and offshore firms in support. The port at Teesport handles containers, bulk and project cargo. Construction, plant hire, haulage and scrap processing are also common. Main industrial areas include Riverside Park, Cannon Park, Skippers Lane and Cargo Fleet, with Teesside Industrial Estate at Thornaby, Wilton International and the former steelworks site at Redcar a short drive away.

The A66 runs through the town and links west to Darlington and the A1(M) at Scotch Corner. The A19 passes to the west and crosses the Tees on the flyover. The A174 Parkway serves the south of the town and Redcar. Middlesbrough station has rail links to Darlington and York. The riverside estates were laid out for heavy plant, though cranage and the route out are still assessed lot by lot.
