Ritchie Bros conducted an auction at the Columbus, Ohio, facility (located at 200 Ritchie Dr., in South Vienna, Ohio) on June 17.

The auction featured a large selection of pipeline construction equipment from Welded Construction, a Perryburg, Ohio, based pipeline construction contractor, along with equipment from other contractors and equipment dealers from Ohio and neighboring states. Equipment up for bid included a large number of excavators, compactors, crawler tractors, wheel loaders, dump trucks, truck tractors, trailers, drills and crawler pipelayers.

Made available as part of a fleet realignment, Welded Construction had nearly 250 pieces of well-maintained equipment out of the more than 1,500 pieces up for bid at the sale.

“We have an experienced staff of operators and mechanics who take great care of our entire fleet, so all the equipment is well-maintained,” said Steve Weaver, equipment manager of Welded Construction.

Weaver added “We chose Ritchie Bros. because we felt they would draw the best audience of buyers for our equipment.”

According to Ritchie Bros’s Sales Director Tim Keane, the auction was the second largest conducted at the Columbus facility. The auction drew a large crowd of onsite bidders and attracted strong online bidding as well.
