Auctioneers will host its premier global auction event – and the world’s largest equipment auction – in Orlando, FL, from February 16 to 20, 2026.

The 2026 event will showcase the full onsite energy and experience that makes this auction special.

Day two will feature the highly anticipated return of the live ramp sale, bringing back the excitement of heavy machinery rolling across the ramp for the first time since 2019.

Spanning five action-packed days, the Orlando auction attracts consignors and buyers from around the world and consistently generates hundreds of millions of dollars for consignors each year. The 2025 event drew more than 19,000 registered participants from over 55 countries who placed bids on over 15,500 items, reinforcing Ritchie Bros.’ position as one of the most trusted marketplaces in the industry.

“Our February Orlando auction continues to set the standard as one of the top annual events in the equipment industry, engaging buyers and sellers locally, nationally and internationally,” said Jake Lawson, President and Head of Ritchie Bros. North America Sales. “For 2026, we’re bringing back the full onsite experience – live, in-person bidding, our advanced TAL technology and the return of live ramping – to create the energy and excitement that our customers love.”

Known for its massive scale, unmatched selection of equipment and premier customer experience onsite and online, the Orlando auction allows consignors to deliver assets to Ritchie Bros.’ 200-acre world-class facility or take advantage of the company’s virtual selling options. Bidders can participate onsite or online from anywhere in the world, with live auctioneers and bid catchers ensuring a seamless experience across every channel.

“We’re looking forward to welcoming customers to Orlando once again for what has become more than an auction – it's an industry-leading event that we’ve watched grow in size and scope every year. Most importantly, it’s a place where customers, colleagues and industry partners come together to do great business,” Lawson said. “With live onsite bidding and equipment-ramping back for 2026, it’s on track to be our most exciting event yet.”
