the website would have to be written as www dot bmhque dot co dot uk for the software here to allow the website address (URL) to be seen by more than just the next poster.

Hi Regdor,

You can visit Briggs dedicated used equipment auction website at www.bmhque.co.uk. I understand you will have to regsiter for this but once done, you can view and then bid on any of the featured machines.

keeping ear 2 ground
don't speak too soon. we were bidding at a company a couple of weeks ago for a pair of old knackered cat diesels. briggs gave them 1K a truck more than we offered. when we tried to buy them from briggs all we got was " no, these are really popular. we're going to sell them on our auction site"

SHOME MISHTAKE SHURELY!

Agreed CATMAN.

Can't believe the negativity on these forums when a bit of good news is published. Maybe what these people want is more dedicated forklift people being made redundant???

For shame....
