Lifting and Material Handling

Ritchie Bros. auctions are sometimes described as “equipment supermarkets” because they include such a large selection of equipment for different industries – including a wide variety of lifting and material handling equipment. Every year, we sell thousands upon thousands of used and unused cranes, scissor lifts, forklifts and other material handling equipment at our unreserved public auctions. We’ve also conducted many off-site auctions that featured cranes or material handling equipment primarily.

Ritchie Bros. auctions are open to the public and strictly unreserved. Our buying customers value the wide selection of equipment in our auctions; the choice of on-site and online bidding options; and the knowledge that every item will be sold on auction day for its fair market value.

Our consignors choose Ritchie Bros. because we take care of the sale of their equipment, from start to finish; we attract the largest audience of potential buyers from different regions and industries; we deliver fair market value for their assets; and we give our customers the assurance that their assets will sell on auction day and they will have the proceeds of sale within three weeks.
