Forestry equipment has always been an important part of Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers' business. Equipment sold at our unreserved auctions includes feller bunchers, skidders, log loaders, grapple yarders and sawmill equipment. We also sell other heavy equipment used in the forestry industry, such as trucks and trailers, as well as equipment used in road building.

Bidders appreciate the extensive range of forestry equipment we offer and are willing to travel to attend our sales; others bid online with our live real-time internet bidding service, rbauctionBid-Live.

We always have a large amount of forestry and road building equipment listed in upcoming auctions. Check the current Forestry listings.

With 38 auction sites around the world, including locations in major forestry centers across North America, we're able to deliver world market prices. We also hold off-site sales of forestry equipment.

Recently, Ritchie Bros. conducted a complete dispersal for a forestry company in Chemainus, British Columbia. We took care of all the details of the sale for the consignor, from global advertising to sale-day duties, conducting a professional auction and collecting and distributing the proceeds.

The unreserved public auction attracted more than 2,000 bidders from all over North America and as far away as Italy, Australia and Saudi Arabia. Like every Ritchie Bros. auction, all of the equipment sold to the highest bidder on auction day, generating Gross Auction Proceeds of more than CA$11 million.
