Thousands more will be bidding online.
The mining, construction, transportation and other heavy equipment industries will focus on Orlando as equipment buyers from around the world participate in Ritchie Bros' five-day auction event.
Last year's event attracted more than 9,350 bidders from 81 countries to bid on the 10,500+ items.
Ritchie Bros President (USA & Latin America) said: “No one can match the selection of equipment Ritchie Bros offers in Orlando in February, and nothing matches the excitement of the live auction experience.
“We've got the most diverse line-up in the world, hands down. If you need it, chances are we'll have it.”
With three weeks until the auction starts, there are already 7,000 equipment items and trucks consigned from 600 sellers.
Thousands of items from every sector and price range will be sold unreserved, including a large selection of late model, low hour Caterpillar, Komatsu, Volvo, John Deere, International, Freightliner, and Terex equipment.
Items will continue to be added right up until auction day. Equipment can be tested, inspected, and compared in the yard.
