Ritchie Bros.’ to Conduct Five-Day Edmonton Auction with Online Bidding Only



Ritchie Bros.‘ massive Edmonton, AB auction site is filling up quickly, with more than 10,000 items set to sell on Monday, May 11 through Friday, May 15. Because of local crowd size restrictions due to COVID-19, there will be no in-person bidding—all bidding must be done online at rbauction.com.

Nearly every industry will be covered, including construction, transportation, pipeline, crushing and agriculture. Equipment highlights include 300+ truck tractors, 230+ excavators, 230+ compactors, 120+ dozers, 100+ skid steers, and more. All items will be sold without minimum bids or reserve prices.

“With everything going on in Alberta and the world, our customers need our solutions as much if not more than ever before,” said Brian Glenn, senior vice president & head of Canadian of Sales, Ritchie Bros. “And, in order to protect the health and safety of our customers and employees, our auctioneers will be selling exclusively to online bidders. People can still visit the site to inspect equipment ahead of the auction in accordance with our new COVID-19 protocols, but all bidding will be online.”

More than 1,000 consignors will be selling equipment in the auction including complete dispersals for Parkland Pipeline Contractors; Oil-Berta Cats; S&R Transport; Total Element; Flying G. Trucking; and Precision Trenching. There will also be fleet realignments for MasTec Canada; Entrec Corporation; Aveda Energy Services; and Ferex Earthworks.

“We’re selling more than 200 items as part of our complete dispersal—basically any equipment you’d need to run a construction company,” said Phil Dunn of Parkland Pipeline. “Ritchie Bros. offers our equipment the best exposure and, in times like these, their world-class online bidding service is so important.”
