Shop Globally

Don’t limit yourself to what your local equipment market has to offer. As the world's largest auctioneer of industrial equipment, our size and scope provide you with an unparalleled selection of cranes, lifting and material handling equipment. Our equipment search engine lets you find exactly what you need - regardless of its location. And because virtually all of our auctions are broadcast online, you can bid on and purchase items using our upgraded internet bidding service from wherever you are in the world.

Bid with Confidence

Ritchie Bros. only conducts unreserved auctions, meaning that every item sells to the highest bidder on auction day. Bidders don't need to worry about artificial price manipulation, as only legitimate bidders are allowed to compete for the items in our auctions. There are no minimum bids or reserve prices, and sellers are forbidden by contract from bidding on their own equipment.

Spend Wisely

Avoid negotiations that cost you time and money. You’ll always pay fair market price at all of our auctions around the world. Your need determines what you're willing to pay, and you’ll never pay a buyer’s premium.

Make Better Choices

Our auction yard layouts make it easy for you to inspect and compare the assets before bidding. We do everything we can to help you accurately assess the condition of equipment and answer any questions you have before the auction.

Get a Clear Title

Our dedicated title search department works with consignors and their creditors prior to each auction to ensure that liens and encumbrances on equipment will be released, so you can be confident of receiving a clear title on your purchase. If there ever is a problem with the title after the sale, we’ll give you a full refund.

Ship Conveniently

Customers buying equipment at our U.S. and Canadian auctions can receive real-time shipping estimates and competitive quotes thanks to our partnership with uShip, the world’s largest online shipping marketplace. Requesting a quote from thousands of transportation providers takes only minutes, with no upfront fees or obligations. It’s just one more way we provide our customers with easy and simple access to the world of aggregate and mining equipment.
