DENVER, June 3, 2015 /CNW/ - On June 11 - 12, 2015, Ritchie Bros., the world's largest industrial auctioneer, will conduct a huge unreserved public equipment auction at its site in Denver, Colorado. The two-day auction already features 2,300+ equipment items for the construction, transportation, oil & gas and other sectors, including 170+ truck tractors, 370+ trailers, 70+ excavators, 60+ wheel loaders, cranes and more. Every item will be sold without minimum bids or reserve prices. Bids can be placed in person, online at rbauction.com and by proxy.

"This is one of the nicest selections of equipment we've ever sold at an auction in Denver," said Casey Fencl, Regional Sales Manager, Ritchie Bros. "We will sell thousands of items over two days, including a ton of yellow iron, a great lineup of trucks and trailers, a large package of oil & gas equipment as well as cranes and agriculture equipment—something for everyone."

Equipment in the auction will be sold for hundreds of owners, including oil & gas equipment from Baker Hughes, professionally-maintained Walmart fleet trucks, a large selection of late-model construction equipment from Honnen Equipment Co., and more.

"Periodically we consign some used units in order to keep our rental fleet up to date with current models," said Mark E. Honnen, President of Honnen Equipment, one of the largest construction equipment dealerships in the Western United States. "We look to Ritchie Bros. to disperse these units because of their broad footprint in the marketplace with instant purchasing power for end users while providing a fair return for consignors."
