Who we are

An easier way to buy and sell machinery

Benabilla was founded when Russell Hallaran identified the need for an online sales company offering high-quality machinery backed by a benchmark-leading compliance checklist — one that covers both safety and reliability.

We give transport and agricultural businesses easier access to a wide range of machinery, from tractors and harvesters to trucks and transport vehicles, without the need to visit multiple dealerships. Every sale runs through an accessible, user-friendly online system backed by open and transparent communication.

That modern approach meets the evolving needs of business owners and positions Benabilla Auctions as a leader in the digital transformation of the agricultural, earthmoving and transport industries.

Why we do it

We care about people and their businesses.

That’s why we’re dedicated to providing a service focused on expertise, collaboration, knowledge and accountability.
