RB Global, Inc., a global marketplace for commercial assets and vehicles, announced Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers sold 11,000+ equipment items, trucks and vehicles at its premier Canadian auction event in Edmonton, AB, last week. The five-day auction generated nearly CA$225 million in gross transaction value (GTV).

The April 29 – May 3, 2025, online and onsite auction attracted more than 18,000 bidders from more than 50 countries, with approximately 94% of the equipment selling to Canadians, including 62% purchased by Albertans. The remaining 6% of the equipment was purchased by international buyers from as far away as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Peru and the Netherlands.

“This year’s April-May event in Edmonton was once again embraced by our many trusted consignors and buyers as the premier event in Canada to buy and sell heavy equipment. In the face of ongoing market uncertainty, Ritchie Bros. once again delivered strong buyer demand on a huge selection of late-model, low-hour equipment,” said Jake Lawson, President of North American Sales for Ritchie Bros. “It is with tremendous pride that we get to host this event every year and we would like to thank the 1,700+ consignors and 4,300+ buyers that contributed to making the 2025 version of it a success.
