Ritchie Bros. conducted an auction at its permanent facility in South Vienna (Columbus), Ohio, on Dec. 11. While much of the activity took place inside the company's theater-style bidding area, many of those who attended the auction ventured into the yard to inspect the equipment firsthand.

Equipment up for bid included a large selection of dozers, excavators, forestry equipment, manlifts, skid steers, wheel loaders and trucks. The auction attracted an enthusiastic crowd of onsite bidders while drawing heavy online bidding activity as well.
