Canada’s Premier Equipment Auction features close to 9,000 items and counting

Jason KellerApril 27, 2026 · 3 min read

Canada’s premier equipment auction in Edmonton is right around the corner, featuring an incredible array of nearly 9,000 pieces of top-brand heavy machinery and vehicles selling over a five-day span beginning May 11.

Despite lingering market uncertainties, buyer demand is expected to be high for this one-of-a-kind Edmonton equipment auction. Last year’s sale attracted over 18,000 bidders from over 50 countries, with some buying from as far away as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Peru and the Netherlands.

“It is with tremendous pride that we get to host this event every year,” Jordan Clarke Senior Vice President, RB Canada Sales, said after last’s year rousing success resulted in over CA$225 million in gross transaction value (GTV).

Edmonton plays a critical role for sellers across construction, transportation and energy sectors. For Alberta’s oil and gas industry in particular, strong resale values and dependable buyer demand are essential to managing fleet turnover and capital cycles.

“Edmonton’s spring auction has long been one of the most significant auction events in Canada, and we continue to see strong global demand from buyers who trust the marketplace and are ready to transact,” added Ryan Eacrett, Vice President of Sales at Ritchie Bros.

“That combination of global reach and local market expertise gives our customers confidence in both the process and the outcome.”
