To participate in our auctions, first create an account by clicking "Register" on our homepage and create an account. Once registered, you can explore available heavy machinery auctions, each with descriptions, photos, and inspection reports.

When you find an item you’re interested in, enter your bid amount and click "Place Bid," confirming that all bids are binding. You can also set a maximum bid to let our system automatically increase your bid up to your limit. Monitor your bids through your account dashboard and enable notifications to stay updated if you are outbid.

Auctions close at a set time, but late bids may extend the auction briefly. If you win, you’ll receive a confirmation email with payment instructions. Payments must be made within the specified time frame, and we accept bank transfers and credit cards. After payment, our Makana specalists can help you to arrange shipment of your item to your destination.

Two Ways to Place Bids

1. Manual Bid
Enter your bid based on the next bidding increment. This option gives you full control to actively participate and adjust your bids as the auction progresses.

2. Maximum Bid (Auto-Bid)
- Set the highest amount you’re willing to pay, and let our system bid on your behalf:
- The system will always place the lowest amount needed to keep you in the lead.
- If another bidder places a higher offer, your bid will automatically increase — up to your maximum limit.
- In case of a tie, the earliest bid placed takes priority.
- You can update or change your maximum bid at any time before the lot closes.
