Ritchie Bros. held its second Fort Worth, TX auction of the year, selling more than 3,800 items over two days for more than $41 million.

More than 4,250 people from 59 countries registered to bid in the May 17 – 18 auction, including more than 2,900 bidders participating online.

International buyers from as far away as India, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates purchased 8% of the equipment.

“We continue to see optimism from contractors with promises of infrastructure spending coming from the government, resulting in good, solid pricing on construction equipment this week,” said Dolan Aucoin, sales director, Ritchie Bros. “We also saw steady pricing for transportation equipment, particularly for trailers. I’d like to thank all our buyers and sellers this week — see you again in Houston on June 21 and 22.”

Ritchie Bros. sold equipment for more than 570 owners in the auction. Highlights included more than 390 truck tractors, more than 480 trailers, more than 100 excavators, 95 skid steers, more than 70 loader backhoes, more than 30 dozers, a large selection of drilling equipment and more.
