Between June 27-28, Ritchie Bros. will host one of the largest pipeline construction equipment auctions ever, selling more than 4,700 items over two days at its site in Columbus, OH. Every single item in the auction will be sold without reserve.

More than 300 companies will be selling assets in the auction, including a complete dispersal for Welded Construction, a pipeline construction company that recently closed after 50 years in the business. Other consignors include Energy Transportation from West Virginia, Michels Corporation from Wisconsin, Contractors Rental from Michigan, and more.

Equipment highlights include 125 pipelayers, a massive selection of pipeline tools and supplies, 100+ hydraulic excavators, 60+ dozers, 185+ truck tractors, as well as loaders, lifts, cranes, and more.

“We don’t get to hold events like this very often,” said Tim Keane, regional sales manager, Ritchie Bros. “This is certain to be the pipeline construction auction of the year, with companies sending equipment from all over. Interested bidders can inspect the items online at rbauction.com and/or come visit our site in Columbus and check it all out for themselves. With this selection, it’s definitely something you won’t want to miss.”

The Welded Construction equipment package is being sold in partnership with Gordon Brothers, the global advisory, restructuring, and investment firm.

“This is an incredible opportunity for the pipeline industry,” stated Jim Burke, managing director, at Gordon Brothers. “The complementary nature and quality of the assets that have been consigned to the auction, combined with the outstanding condition of the Welded fleet, have set the stage for a world-class sale event.”
