This online auction featured over 1,200 pieces of machinery and other items
Of all equipment categories sold at Ritchie Bros’ June auction in Dubai, excavators again proved to be among the most popular items to sell. This equipment category saw a 17 per cent increase in inventory sold compared to the company’s March auction.
Appetite to buy equipment remained steady at the internationally attended auction, with wheel loaders, crawler tractors, forklifts and backhoes performing particularly strongly, according to a corporate press statement.
The online auction featured over 1,200 pieces of machinery, trucks, vehicles and other items, and attracted bidders from around the world.
“Our online timed auctions make it easy and fun to join. We had 970 registered attendees from 66 countries. Top bidder countries were the UAE, Saudi Arabia, India, The Netherlands and the UK,” remarked Shirin Bazargan, Regional Operations Manager, Ritchie Bros.
“Buyers are made aware weeks in advance, and they want to prepare before they’re placing bids. Before an auction, we see around 60,000 page views on auction inventory and over 15,000 watch-listed items, people watchlist items of interest so they can track them easily,” concluded Bazargan.
