Ritchie Bros. has been selling energy, oil and gas-related equipment for decades, but today we have more solutions than ever to meet the growing needs of the industry. Need certainty of sale? We have onsite unreserved auctions (currently being held online only). Need to mitigate risk? Try our reserved marketplace or our private treaty solutions. Ritchie Bros. is so much more than auctions.

Bill Carnes has been in the underwater construction business for decades. It’s a niche industry, requiring specialized equipment and highly skilled workers. So, when it came time to retire, he was concerned about how best to sell all their equipment.

Aquatica Stingray 500 submersible selling via Marketplace-E

You’ll often find some interesting items selling at Ritchie Bros. besides our core inventory of heavy equipment and trucks – classic cars, jet aircraft, helicopters, fire trucks and more. But this Aquatica Stingray 500 submersible is definitely one of the most unusual items we’ve ever sold, and it’s available to buyers on our online platform, Marketplace-E.

Customers invited to subscribe to monthly Ritchie Bros. Used Equipment Market Trends Summary report.

With billions of dollars of equipment transacting via our multiple global sales channels each year, only Ritchie Bros. has the data that gives us unmatched insight into market trends around the world. In fact, we transact so much equipment that we’re often cited as one of the main data sources in leading industry reports.

The construction and heavy equipment industries have typically been male-dominated workplaces, but that’s beginning to change – on the frontlines at construction sites and behind the scenes at large construction-related and heavy equipment companies. More women than ever are helping to “run the show,” as it were, in roles from CEOs and IT managers to customer service reps and equipment operators – and everything in between.

At Ritchie Bros., we see more used equipment than almost anyone, with 500,000+ assets sold in 2019 alone. We’re considered an industry expert when it comes to equipment pricing and valuation—in fact, Ritchie Bros. data is almost always listed as a source of values for any appraisal in the industry—so the launch of our own Appraisal Services offering seems like a natural next step.
