LOS ANGELES, Sept. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ - Ritchie Bros. (rbauction.com), the world's largest industrial auctioneer, will sell more than 3,150 heavy equipment items and trucks at unreserved public auctions in California in September 2015. More than 250 truck tractors, 180 trailers, 60+ flatbed trucks, 45+ excavators, 40+ dump trucks, 110+ pickup trucks, 10+ farm tractors and much more will be sold at auctions in Sacramento (Sep. 22) and Los Angeles (Sep. 25). Ritchie Bros. will sell equipment for hundreds of companies at these auctions, including a complete dispersal for California-based Cleveland Wrecking Company, a leading provider of demolition and remediation services since 1910. All items will be sold without minimum bids or reserve prices. Bidders can participate in person, online at rbauction.com and by proxy.

"Cleveland Wrecking is a long-time Ritchie Bros. customer with an incredible fleet and reputation," said Gregg Raslowsky, Regional Sales Manager, Ritchie Bros. "At our next Sacramento and L.A. auctions, Cleveland Wrecking is selling their large fleet of late-model excavators, set up specifically for demolition, along with a large variety of top-quality demolition attachments to go with them. It's rare to find this amount of quality demolition equipment being sold in one week. We encourage interested buyers to visit our sites to test and inspect the equipment ahead of the auction, and then register to bid. If you're not registered, you could miss a great opportunity to buy. Every item will be sold on auction day."

"Having worked nationwide providing a huge variety of demolition work, we needed quality equipment that resulted in good production on jobs, and so we're known for maintaining our equipment to the highest standards," said Steve Aman, VP, Cleveland Wrecking. "We worked with Ritchie Bros. 10 years ago liquidating some equipment for another business, and it was such a good experience—they're very transparent and they know what they're doing. Ritchie Bros. offers huge exposure in the marketplace and they've been in the business for so long."
