In total, more than 3,900 industrial equipment items will be sold to the highest bidders during the auction, regardless of price. Equipment highlights include a selection of more than 20 Super B-Train tank trailers, a 2008 Gomaco C450 bridge deck finisher, a 2004 Freightliner Condor COE T/A with Schwing KVM39X concrete pump truck and more.

Interested bidders have the option of bidding in person at the Ritchie Bros. auction site in Bolton (approximately 50 minutes north of downtown Toronto), online in real time at www.rbauction.com or by proxy.

"Our auction has items for everyone – from heavy equipment operators and large scale project contractors to shop tools for every day use in your garage," said Jake Lawson, vice president, sales, Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers. "Our yard will be open prior to the auction so interested bidders can inspect and test out the equipment. This is an unreserved auction so everything goes to the highest bidders regardless of the price – so you're bound to find competitive prices if you're in the market for heavy equipment and other industrial gear."

The public auction currently features equipment from more than 270 owners, including Bolton-based ConCreate USL LP, which has experience in bridge building, infrastructure remediation and new construction.
