Trucking the year out

PARK Village Auctions is ending 2013 off with a bang as it gears up for its last truck auction of the year.

According to PVA’s LeRoy Augustyn, the company’s truck yard is “fair bursting at the seams” with stock provided by banks, liquidators, repossession managers, trustees and executors alike seeking to clear their books before the year comes to a close, all of which makes for a very promising event.

Rigid trucks, truck tractors and LDV’s to be auctioned include Toyota Dyna 4-093 and 8-145, 500, 300 and 17-257; Mercedes Benz Axor; Actros, Mitsubishi Fuso; MAN TGA 33.360; a fleet of Nissan UD 440; UD460 AND UD390; Iveco, TATA 1518, 3434, a fleet of Volvo FM400; 440 and 460 Truck Tractors International 9800 and Freightliner Argosy CISX-530 truck tractors.

Trailers to go under the hammer comprise a collection of SA Truck Bodies; Hendred; Afrit; Motor Trail; flat deck link trailers; skeletal; curtain side trailers, side tipper trailers and CTS side tipper link trailers.

A number of tractors, skidsteer loaders, New Holland excavators, backhoe loaders and Sullair drill rigs will also be brought to market at PVA’s last auction.

The auction will take place on 28 November at 10.30am at PVA’s truck yard at the JHB Expo centre in Nasrec. Viewing will take place the day before from 10am to 4pm. For a detailed inventory, go to web reference 9513 on PVA’s website.

It’s been a surprisingly good year for the new and used truck industry overall thanks largely to the activity of a number of municipalities and large logistics companies seeking to offset costs and upgrade their rolling stock. Whether or not 2014 will prove just as successful depends on a number of factors, says Augustyn. For now PVA simply looks forward to hosting its final auction.
