After 49 years in the grading and construction equipment business, Ronald Ellis, owner of Ellis Equipment & Grading Company Inc., commissioned Iron Auction Group to liquidate his construction equipment, trucks, trailers, support equipment and shop tools. The building and property for the business located in Waco, Ga., also was auctioned off at this Sept. 24 sale.

Mr. Ellis said with a smile that he's going to "try this retirement thing for the second or third time." CEG

Kicking off the sale are some of the staff of Iron Auction Group with the owner of Ellis Equipment & Grading, (L-R) including Ross McMillan, Andy Richardson, Ronald Ellis (owner of Ellis Equipment & Grading), Mike Finley and Matt McGaffee.

(L-R): Barry Bickers of Bickers Construction, Hiram, Ga.; Andy Richardson of Iron Auction Group; and Chuck Campbell of Northwest Georgia Paving, Calhoun, Ga., discuss the lineup of heavy equipment and trucks.

Deep in thought on some of the machines about to go on the auction block is Nathan McLendon of Flip W Farms, Madison, Ga.

Sam Ingram (L) of Iron Auction Group, welcomes Jason Tant of Rockmart Slate, Rockmart, Ga., to the sale.

High bidder and the new owners of this Cat 621B scraper from Contour Grading and Pipe, based in Loganville, Ga., are Brian Yancey (L) and Betty Maldonado.

Watching and waiting for their machines of choice to go on the auction block (L-R) are Rick, Randy and Justin George of George Grading and Hauling, Franklin, Ga.

A nice crowd filed in as the sale got underway in Waco, Ga.

Bryan Hope (L) of Iron Auction Group works the ring for bids and, interestingly enough, also will be on the ballot next year for the South Carolina state Senate elections.

David Meares (L) calls the auction while Ross McMillan monitors the onsite and online bidding from the auction truck.
