With its April Market Trends Report, Ritchie Bros. continues to show year-over-year price inflation for all major equipment categories. This month's report includes an in-depth look at Q1 (Jan – Mar) sales, broken out by manufacturer.
A quick look at U.S. construction categories and it's clear Ritchie Bros. sells more Caterpillar equipment than any other brand. In fact, when looking at excavator sales in the U.S., the company sold three times more Cat units (370+) than the next manufacturer, John Deere (130+).
