Inventory tops 10,000 in countdown to Orlando 2026

The countdown is on for Ritchie Bros.’ 2026 Orlando auction set for February 16-20 – the biggest equipment auction event of the year. This year’s auction features an impressive lineup of over 10,000 items – and the inventory continues to grow daily!

Known as the world’s largest equipment auction, the Orlando event brings together buyers and sellers from across construction, transportation, agriculture, energy and other industries. Assets will sell throughout the week through live onsite bidding, online participation and Timed Auction formats.

“Orlando continues to be the one place where buyers can find equipment from every major industry we serve, all in a single week,” said Jake Lawson, President and Head of Ritchie Bros. North America Sales. “From late-model heavy equipment to transportation and specialty assets, the depth and variety of inventory creates real opportunity for both buyers and sellers.”

Back to the Ramp  

As a nod to the legacy of Ritchie Bros.’ past auctions, day two will include major equipment selling across the ramp, such as articulated dump trucks and wheel loaders, while day four will feature live bidding from the yard, with auctioneers calling bids from the sound truck.

Each day of the five-day event will feature one ring with live onsite and online bidding, supported by additional assets selling through Timed Auction.
