Big equipment expected for Ritchie Bros.' Grande Prairie auction this October
Auction includes equipment from Hall North Construction Ltd and Peace Country Oilfield Contractors
GRANDE PRAIRIE, AB (September 8, 2016) – One month out from its October auction in Grande Prairie, Ritchie Bros. is busy collecting consignments from across Northern B.C. and Alberta. Every year, as the seasons change, contractors are starting to prepare for winter work and realigning their fleet for upcoming projects. Now is the perfect time to sell.
On October 5–6, Ritchie Bros. will sell equipment and trucks for dozens of owners at its Grande Prairie, AB auction, including items from Doug Gordon of Peace Country Oilfield Contractors and Oran Hall of Hall North Construction Ltd.
"Ritchie Bros. has built its name on integrity and honesty—dealing with owners professionally in all situations," said Oran Hall, President and Owner of Hall North Construction. "Being in the oilfield construction industry, the amount of work has obviously slowed, so we've come to Ritchie Bros. to help us realign our fleet. This is all well-maintained gear ready to go to work for a new company. I know Ritchie Bros.' marketing will help us find the right buyer, no matter where they are in the world."
