Ritchie Bros. has been selling used heavy equipment and trucks for 65 years. During that time, we have heard and been part of many stories and important changes that have impacted our industry.
The equipment industry is an important one. It opens up new opportunities for local businesses to thrive and entrepreneurs to contribute locally, nationally and globally in a meaningful way.
An efficient industry for used equipment extends the lifetime of the equipment we use and re-use over again. Improving utilization, saving money, all while reducing waste.
It’s an industry that has grown and evolved exponentially over the decades. While new technology and innovations have pushed us forward, it’s the leaders and change-makers who have made this vibrant industry what it is today.
The Ritchie Bros.’ Hall of Fame is an opportunity to recognize these pioneers. Whether employee, customer or partner, these individuals have made a significant contribution to the used equipment and auction sector.
At Ritchie Bros., we want to thank some of the important people who have helped the used equipment industry move, build, and grow.
