Ritchie Bros. will conduct its largest-ever single-owner auction for Barrilleaux, an oilfield pipeline construction company based in New Mexico and Texas, from Aug. 10 to Aug 11.

According to Ritchie Bros., tens of millions of dollars of equipment will be sold in this two-day event, including late-model, low-hour directional drills, trenchers, more than 40 pipelayers, 120 excavators, more than 35 dozers, loaders, heavy haul trucks, trailers, attachments and tools. All items will be sold without minimum bids or reserve prices.

“Barrilleaux Inc. is well-known in the pipeline construction industry for their production, efficiency, high-quality work and top-of-the-line, late-model equipment,” Alan McVicker, regional sales manager for Ritchie Bros., said. “In my 44 years in the auction business, this is the nicest fleet I’ve ever seen. We have a long relationship with Mr. Barrilleaux and are so proud he has put his trust in us to sell this magnificent selection of assets via online auction in August.
