More than 700 owners already consigned 5,300+
equipment items to the October 23 –
25 event
EDMONTON, Oct. 9, 2018
/CNW/ - Winter is coming and contractors are busy getting ready,
upgrading and altering their fleets for cold/wet wintery
conditions. As a result, hundreds of sellers and thousands of
buyers are expected to participate in Ritchie Bros.' next big Edmonton auction on October 23 – 25, 2018.
"October is a major fleet realignment time for contractors,
which makes it an ideal time for an auction," said Trent Vandenberghe, Regional Sales Manager,
Ritchie Bros. "We already have more
than 5,300 equipment items and trucks listed to be sold for more
than 700 owners in our October event. Contractors send us their
equipment from all across Western
Canada to take advantage of the massive crowds we attract,
especially around this time of year. Our October auction also
features a great selection of real estate, all of which will be
sold unreserved."
Equipment highlights in the auction include 80+ excavators, 70+
skid steers, 60+ dozers, 65+ compactors, 40+ loaders, 70+ flatbed
trucks, 30+ dump trucks, 120+ truck tractors, 30+ agricultural
tractors, and more. All items will be sold without minimum bids or
reserve prices.
The three-day auction features several complete dispersals,
including more than 100 items being sold for A & R Reclamation
Ltd. Based in Sylvan Lake, AB, A
& R Reclamation has been servicing the reclamation,
remediation, civil and oilfield industries for the past 23
years.
"With Ritchie Bros. I can sell
all my gear in one go instead of selling an item at a time, which
could take me a year or two, plus the market exposure they provide
is huge," said Arnold Bowen, Owner
& CEO of A & R Reclamation. "This is a complete dispersal.
All the equipment I'm selling was working for us and regularly
maintained by our full-time mechanics. One of the best things about
Ritchie Bros. as a buyer—I've bought
millions of dollars of equipment from them over the years—is that
all of the equipment is right there for you to inspect and they can
provide maintenance records, etc., which makes me confident when
bidding."
Specific equipment highlights in the Edmonton auction include:
- 10 Caterpillar D6T LGP dozers
- Six Caterpillar D7E dozers
- Five Caterpillar 336EL hydraulic excavators
- Three Volvo A40G 6x6 articulated dump trucks
- Four John Deere S680 combines
- Six Kenworth T800 tri-drive vac trucks (incl. five sleeper
models)
- Four Kenworth C500 T/A T/A bed trucks
