Ed Leaman (L), president and founder of Leaman Auctions Ltd, takes time for a photo with Richard Giberson, owner of Giberson Plumbing & Excavating Co., moments before the liquidation of Giberson’s 60-plus year excavating business.

Trench boxes and road plates were among the items that started off the bidding.

The core of the Giberson excavating business was this nice lineup of Kobelco excavators.

This Kobelco SK485LC special Stars & Stripes edition excavator was a one-of-a-kind machine that was on display at the 2008 ConExpo. At the sale, this machine brought in $91,000.

Mike Finnegan (L) of Artistic Materials in Southampton, N.J., and Buddy Pino of Buddy Pino Construction in Green Bank, N.J., stopped to chat by one of the many Kobelco excavators featured in the sale.

Ken Gower (L) of Gowers Construction in Southampton, N.J., and John Redman of Redman Landscaping in Southampton, N.J., check out the special Stars & Stripes Kobelco excavator.

With a Cat D7 crawler, Alan Samuelsen (L) from Weekstown, N.J., and Ray Gifford from Southampton, N.J., are at the sale primarily to show support to their friend, Richard Giberson.

A prospective bidder takes a deep dive inspecting one of the many Kobelco machines featured in the sale.

This John Deere 650J LGP crawler gave a lot of good years of service to Giberson Plumbing & Excavating and was anticipated to bring top dollar at the sale.

Ed Leaman of Leaman Auctions Ltd gets the auction started by laying out the conditions of sale.
