Big demand for ex-rental equipment for sale at Ritchie Bros.
Whether you need excavators to dig, trucks to move or light towers and generators to light your job site, equipment rental companies are a popular choice for filling the void in short term or temporary equipment needs. When North America's leading equipment rental companies renew their fleets, they count on Ritchie Bros. to sell their outgoing inventory.
Ex-rental equipment is popular amongst our buyers as rental companies buy top-quality gear and keep them in top condition with scheduled, professional maintenance programs. And so they can offer the latest and greatest to their customers, rental companies often renew equipment every few years. That means many of their assets are primarily late-model and the depreciation has already been absorbed by the rental company.
