Beginning July 1, Ritchie Bros. will provide real-time auction results for all customers viewing its auctions online through www.rbauction.com.

The Heavy Equipment Logistics division of CSS attended the two-day auction from July 19-20th, 2011. The team was able to network with the buyers and sellers at the auction while promoting its first class logistical solutions to the end user.
