EDMONTON, Alta. \u2013 Ritchie Bros. will hold a fourth Edmonton, Alta. auction from Sept. 7-9, with more than 5,100 items already confirmed for sale and more expected to be added to the list.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhether you\u2019re looking for one item or an entire fleet, we will have everything you need,\u201d said Brian Glenn, senior vice-president of Ritchie Bros. \u201cWe are also excited to be selling several items for charity in this auction. We held a successful charity golf tournament in August to raise funds for Fort McMurray, and this is a great extension to that event.\u201d<\/p>\n
Equipment highlights for the upcoming auction include excavators, dozers, loaders, truck tractors and a large selection of oil and gas items. Up for charity, with proceeds being donated to the Fort McMurray fire relief effort, is a luxury fishing trip for six to Stuart Island, B.C. (donated by Dave Ritchie), a trip for four to the Las Vegas Barrett-Jackson auction in October (donated by Thompson Construction) and a skybox for an upcoming Edmonton Oilers hockey game (donated by Sureway Construction).<\/p>\n
More than 600 owners will be selling equipment at the Edmonton event, with brand names like Kenworth, Caterpillar and Komatsu on auction block.<\/p>\n
