We encourage interested sellers to contact us as soon as possible to be a part of this outstanding event.”

Close to 3,300 items have already been consigned to the Columbus, OH auction. On top of the 120+ pipelayers to be sold, the auction will also feature a large selection of associated pipeline tools and supplies that come with the complete dispersal of a pipeline company.

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