Thousands of assets were up for bid as crowds gathered for the Ritchie Bros. auction in Orlando, Fla., Feb. 16-20, 2026.
Among the top items up for auction were a Volvo A40G articulated dump truck; a Lippmann 1060J electric jaw crusher; a Cat 140 AWD motor grader; and more, Ritchie Bros. told Construction Equipment Guide for its Florida Auctions special edition.
On day two, for the first time since 2019, live ramping was back for one day only as wheel loaders, haul trucks, articulated trucks and more rolled through. There also was a bit of nostalgia on Day 4, as auctioneers sold items by sound truck.
Ritchie Bros. invited industry content creators for its inaugural Creator Day on Feb. 17. This offered creators exclusive behind-the-scenes access to capture the scale, complexity, energy and moments that define the Orlando auction. The content captured extends the reach of the event beyond the auction yard, helping to broaden the audience across social media and digital channels.
"Orlando is where the construction industry comes together, whether customers are standing in the yard or bidding online from anywhere in the world," Jake Lawson, president and head of Ritchie Bros. North America sales told Construction Equipment Guide. "With more than 14,500 assets across sectors and a global buyer audience participating, it provides a clear view of demand and pricing early in the year. That scale and reach make Orlando a true barometer for where the market is headed."
