Gearclash Posted March 7 Posted March 7 Ritchie Bros specialized in construction equipment auctions. 1 Quote
td9bcf180 Posted March 7 Posted March 7 Ritchie Brothers started out in Kelowna, B.C., Canada in 1958 and today is worldwide with headquarters in Westchester, Illinois. Was at a couple of their auctions in Toronto years ago and I guess they have only gotten bigger. 1 Quote
Sask466 Posted March 8 Posted March 8 They pretty much have the entire market in Western Canada in terms of construction and agricultural auctions. Also more and more farmland auctions as well. 1 Quote
Lazy WP Posted March 8 Posted March 8 Ritchie Brothers have been HUGE in truck auctions for several years. Big Iron was great when they were just in Nebraska and focused on farm equipment. Quote
Shell1066 Posted March 8 Posted March 8 Ritchie brothers biggest sale is in Kissimee Florida. My old boss goes every year. Runs a full week , full days. Three years ago the sale lot was over 250 acres of machines to sell. I went one year and it took two days of steady walking to "see' it all. Really neat operation. They give you two ring bound notebooks of the specs on all the equipment when you sign in. If you are a bto you get special treatment . Private bidders room, meals and drinks etc. It's fun to watch a group of 6 or more cat 740 haul trucks come in and watch a buyer bid 250,000 a piece and take the whole lot, then do it again and again all day long!!! It's worth going to see. But they don't mess around. Get caught running your equipment up. Your banned for life. 1 Quote
Alan Dinan Posted March 8 Posted March 8 R B had a lot in Caseyville, Illinois but they shut it down during the Rona sold it. It was 30-40 acres and packed with equipment for every sale, but now the closest location is near KC. Quote
twostepn2001 Posted March 8 Posted March 8 Don't know if it's the same people or not, but the only Ritchie Bros. l ever heard of is a crude oil hauling and pipeline company, but it's nationwide and some in Canada. Quote
