Asset management and heavy equipment auctions

Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers connects buyers and sellers of heavy machinery, trucks, and other assets through auctions and asset-management services. Its core products are live and online auctions plus disposition and asset-management solutions that help sellers convert surplus equipment into cash and help buyers find and bid on used equipment. The auction process works by listing assets for sale in catalogs and conducting bidding—historically unreserved auctions and now increasingly online platforms—so buyers can bid from anywhere and sellers can reach a global audience. The company differentiates itself with a long history of transparency and integrity, a global footprint across more than 20 countries, and a shift toward online auctions that expands access and efficiency for both sides of the market. The goal is to provide a trusted, scalable marketplace that maximizes recovery for asset owners while delivering broad, convenient access to buyers worldwide.
