Where Are Makana Auctions Located?

Makana machinery auctions are based in Dubai, JAFZA, UAE, with physical inspections and visits conducted at our Jebel Ali yard.

Even though the auction itself can be done online or in yard, the process is built around real inspection and real transparency:

• Makana.com auctions are online (you bid through the website) after leaving the deposit in person at our showroom, or deposit online.
• Inspections and deposit verification happen through the yard visit (or via online deposit for remote and global buyers).

Do Makana Auctions Ship Worldwide?

Makana supports buyers locally in the UAE from Dubai, Abudhabi, Sharjah and beyond, and also assists international buyers with export readiness. We regularly see bidders joining from across the GCC (Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain), as well as MENA and beyond including Iraq, Jordan, Egypt, Syria, and more. 

Demand is also strong across Africa, with bidders from Kenya, Tanzania, Ghana, Nigeria, and South Africa, along with interest from Australia and Europe (and other markets).

Shipping and documentation requirements vary depending on the machine type and destination, but Makana auctions are structured to support both local and export buyers. Each listing aims to remove uncertainty with clear machine labels and notes, such as customs paid or customs not paid (when applicable), whether customs is due, and indicators like CE certification where relevant.

Many Makana auctions are also unreserved, and the auction format is always clearly stated on the auction details page, so bidders know exactly what to expect before they participate.

Can I inspect the machine before I bid in Auction?

Yes, to participate in makana.com auctions and bid confidently, you can book a visit, inspect the machine in Jebel Ali, Dubai, and review the listing documents before bidding. Our inspection reports online include the full condition of the machine with over 250+ photo backed inspections, from the engine start up check, to the hydraulics, oil analysis, drivetrain and more.

All the auction listings include inspection notes and documentation, and many include 360° or 3D Ultra HD views plus operational videos where available.

Participate in machinery auctions outside the UAE

Yes! Makana.com auctions are online, and remote buyers can participate by registering, placing an online deposit, and coordinating with the team for limit opening and logistics support.

What kind of machines sell fast in auctions?

Low-hour units in great working condition and with competitive starting bids, especially Bobcats/skid steers, excavators, wheel loaders, telehandlers, and boom lifts, often attract strong watchlists and bidding activity.
