15/07/21 Construction equipment and heavy plant on display outside Richie Bros UK headquarters at their newly developed ex-colliery site in Maltby, South Yorkshire. 1599 lots ranging from articulated dump trucks, excavators, dumpers, backhoe loaders and tele-handlers, through to buckets and hand tools will go under auctioneerÕs hammer on Thursday (today) and FridayÕs online auction. Peter Haddock from Richie Bros, the worldÕs largest auctioneers, said: ÒThis is the busiest time weÕve known in the UK construction industry since the days of motorway building in the 1960s. ÒThe boom has been caused by big projects like HS2 and the increase in house building. ÒLarger companies are under pressure to buy electric and Euro five compliant heavy plant and are choosing to get rid of their old equipment and auction it off. ÒSome of the big stuff will sell for £100,000 or more with many more achieving tens of thousands of pounds in the auctionÓ All Rights Reserved: F Stop Press Ltd. +44 (0)7765 242650
