Ritchie Bros. enters national agreement with Australian mining equipment giant EMECO

Ritchie Bros. has entered into an agreement to deliver excess mining equipment dispersal services to EMECO, one of Australia’s largest, independent mining equipment rental businesses. EMECO provides tailored earthmoving equipment solutions for mining companies – with operations in all key mining regions of Australia.

Under the agreement, Ritchie Bros. will collaborate with EMECO to deliver competitive integrated sales and marketing solutions to the dispersal of heavy earthmoving equipment.

“We are pleased to be working in collaboration with EMECO to deliver innovative solutions to the dispersal of excess assets,” said Ritchie Bros. Sales Director Finlay Massey. “With a shared focus on asset solutions, this agreement is the foundation for a strong partnership and compliments our efforts to diversify our sales solutions.

“We are uniquely positioned to deliver EMECO with our substantial resources, industry expertise and extensive buyer database to maximise the return on sale of surplus EMECO assets.”

Headquartered in Perth, Western Australia, EMECO brings deep knowledge and an impressive rental fleet, supported by a network of maintenance and component rebuilding workshops across the country.

EMECO will receive a dedicated storefront on Ritchie Bros. IronPlanet, a custom branded seller page that includes EMECO listings for sale. Assets will either be sold via both Marketplace-E and IronPlanet auctions with the approach tailored to deliver the optimal result.
