Important Auction Announcement

A significant event is on the horizon for those interested in government and construction equipment. On September 12, 2026, Bar None Auction will host a public auction featuring a comprehensive selection of surplus fleet vehicles and heavy construction machinery from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and Granite Construction. The auction will take place at their facilities in Sacramento and Fresno, California.

Overview of Auction Items

The auction is notable for its vast inventory, which includes work trucks, fleet vehicles, and essential construction equipment from the Caltrans surplus package. This package was announced shortly after the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) also brought a diverse range of vehicles and equipment to the tables at Bar None’s Fontana location. This reflects the building, strategic partnerships that Bar None Auction has formed with various public agencies throughout California.

Jeff Huber, Marketing Director at Bar None Auction, emphasized the importance of these partnerships: "California government agencies continue to turn to Bar None Auction for the efficient disposal of surplus vehicles and equipment. Through our competitive and transparent public auctions, which provide broad buyer exposure and decades of experience in managing government assets, we help agencies maximize asset recovery while ensuring public accountability and responsibly returning value to taxpayers."

Joining the Caltrans fleet is a robust selection of equipment from Granite Construction, a leading name in the infrastructure sector. The Granite consignment includes a wide variety of heavy construction tools such as motor graders, wheel loaders, excavators, scrapers, and compactors. Together, these offerings provide an invaluable opportunity for contractors, equipment dealers, and private buyers looking to acquire essential machinery for their operations.

Auction Details

The auction will be held online, opening up opportunities for both individual buyers and businesses to participate without needing a license specifically as equipment dealers. Interested bidders can register for the auction ahead of the event, allowing them to browse through the inventory, examine equipment details, view photographs, and even watch videos.

Preview Days

To add more accessibility, in-person preview days will occur on September 10 and 11 from 8 AM to 5 PM at both the Fresno and Sacramento locations. This will enable potential bidders to inspect the equipment before the auction, ensuring they have all the information they need to make informed bidding decisions.
