Heavy equipment and trucks from LADWP to be auctioned on Sept 4
On September 4, 2026, a significant collection of heavy equipment and commercial trucks from the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) will be auctioned off at Bar None Auction's facility in Fontana, California. This public sale aims to provide contractors, fleet managers, and individual buyers with an opportunity to acquire high-quality, used government vehicles and machinery directly through a public auction.
Among the assets up for grabs are Caterpillar backhoes, wheel loaders, motor graders, bucket trucks, dump trucks, utility trucks, and water trucks. The LADWP's fleet package also includes mechanics trucks and step vans, catering to various municipal and utility operations. The auction will be conducted online and is open to the public, requiring no licensing for participation.
Prospective bidders will have the chance to inspect the equipment in person during a public preview scheduled for September 2 and 3. This preview will be held at Bar None Auction's Fontana facility, allowing buyers to assess individual lots and decide on their bids for the September 4 auction.
The LADWP fleet equipment is part of a larger selection of government and utility surplus assets set to be auctioned on the same day. Additional consignments will come from the California Department of Transportation, California Department of General Services, San Diego Gas & Electric, and various local cities and counties. This combination is expected to create a diverse and extensive inventory for potential buyers.
