Gordon Brothers Group announced it will be selling a large package of trucking equipment, formerly owned by Hodges Trucking Company in conjunction with Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers this September and October.

On June 18th, 2015, Gordon Brothers Group announced that it had executed a definitive agreement with Rodan Transport (USA) and Hodges Trucking Company to acquire a large portion of Hodges’ fleet of heavy haul and mobile crane equipment and undertook its immediate, orderly disposition.

Ritchie Bros. subsequently approached Gordon Brothers Group’s Commercial & Industrial division to arrange for a large-scale auction event to include the equipment, which consists of mobile cranes (all terrain, truck mounted and crawler), truck tractors, trailers, forklifts/loaders and service trucks.

“Due to the late model nature of the fleet and its outstanding condition, we received a tremendous amount of interest from both dealers and end users around the country,” stated Robert Maroney, president of Gordon Brothers Group’s Commercial & Industrial division.  “We quickly realized that combining our extensive orderly disposition experience in this sector along with Ritchie Bros.’ proven success in an auction format would be a mutually advantageous strategy to maximize the value of these assets.”

“The equipment acquired by Gordon Brothers Group includes some of the best-maintained and high performing cranes on the market today,” said Terry Dolan, president (USA & Latin America), Ritchie Bros. “We are excited to work with Gordon Brothers Group and look forward to the results we can accomplish together.”
