More than 1,000 bidders turned out in person on May 2, 2026, for the 17th annual spring auction conducted by [Sales Auction Company](https://www.constructionequipmentguide.com/dealers/sales-auction-company-llc/8765) in Windsor Locks, Conn., while another 2,450 bidders participated online in what company representatives described as one of the strongest sales events in recent years.

The auction began at 8 a.m. and drew a large crowd of contractors, truck buyers, equipment dealers and material producers representing a broad cross-section of the heavy equipment marketplace. Favorable weather and a packed lineup of equipment helped create a strong atmosphere from the opening announcements through the final items of the day.

Rows of late-model construction equipment, trucks, trailers, support equipment and aggregate machinery filled the auction yard, giving bidders a wide variety of equipment to inspect prior to the start of the sale. Excavators, wheel loaders, dump trucks, tractors, trailers, paving equipment, crushing and screening plants and support equipment all generated active bidding both on site and through the company's online bidding platform. According to Sales Auction Company representative Danny Anderson, the auction produced "the highest level of positive bidder energy both online and on site that Sales Auction Company has experienced in years."

The auction grossed more than $10 million. Of the total sales volume, approximately 51 percent was sold to online buyers, while 49 percent was purchased by bidders attending the sale in person.
