With three weeks to go, Ritchie Bros. is reporting that its Orlando auction is already gearing up to offer one of the best selections of equipment the company has ever assembled.
As of this morning, Ritchie Bros. has amassed over 10,400 items for its premier auction. If they reach 11,000 items, it will be their largest auction ever. (Pictures from last year’s auction are posted below.)
“We already have equipment from more than 800 owners from across the United States, as well as Canada, Mexico, Central and South America and Europe—this is a global event,” said Jeff Jeter, Ritchie Bros.’ president of U.S. sales. “By adding a sixth day to this year’s event we are able to accommodate more consignors and equipment. We expect to add additional equipment every day leading up to the auction to help make this sale massive!”
More than 10,400 equipment items and trucks are already listed to sell in the six-day unreserved auction—approximately 39 percent more items than this time last year. As always, every item will be sold without minimum bids or reserve prices.
General equipment highlights include over 620 excavators, 475 compactors, over 400 skid steers, 325+ loaders, 235+ dozers, 135+ articulated dump trucks, 125 cranes, 355+ aerial work platforms, 370 truck tractors, 400+ trailers and more.
