Our Experience
Six Decades of Unreserved Certainty
Ritchie Bros. built its reputation on one promise: unreserved means unreserved. Since 1958, every item at a Ritchie Bros. auction has sold to the highest bidder on auction day, regardless of price, giving sellers certainty of sale and buyers a fair shot at every machine. That model, backed by onsite inspections, detailed equipment information, storage, refurbishment, financing, and a global bidder base spanning nearly 200 countries, has grown from a family operation in British Columbia into the world's largest marketplace for used equipment, including one of the deepest selections of cranes and lifting equipment anywhere.
