Ritchie Bros. to
host unreserved public auction for Springdale Forest Resources Inc.
& other owners
ST. JOHN'S, April 18, 2017 /CNW/ - The world's largest
industrial auctioneer is coming to Newfoundland. On May
16, Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers
will sell equipment for several local companies, including
Springdale Forest Resources Inc., which built access roads for the
Muskrat Falls Transmission Line Right-of-Way. The unreserved public
auction will be held in St. John's
(2700 Trans-Canada Hwy)—all items
will be sold without minimum bids or reserve prices.
"I've been buying and selling equipment with Ritchie Bros. for more than 10 years," said
Tim Young, General Manager of
Springdale Forest Resources. "All the equipment we are selling in
the May auction was purchased specifically for the Muskrat Falls
project. Now that we've completed our construction portion of the
project, all the equipment is coming to auction. It's all
late-model, well-maintained gear—Ritchie Bros. is the perfect
channel for us to dispose of these assets."
Equipment highlights in the May 16
auction includes hydraulic excavators, articulated dump trucks,
bulldozers, motor graders, dump trucks, truck tractors and
more.
"We are excited to be coming back to Newfoundland for another auction," said
John Adams, Regional Sales Manager,
Ritchie Bros. "The auction is
building and we are still accepting consignments. Any equipment or
truck owner looking to take advantage of our global market reach
should contact us today."
