[Maltby, (United Kingdom), November 4, 2024] – Over 200 pieces of top-tier, well-maintained machinery from Plantforce Rentals will be up for grabs at Ritchie Bros. UK's Plantforce Fleet Renewal Auction on 20th November, marking a significant opportunity for buyers to purchase high-quality equipment from one of the UK's leading plant hire companies.
Plantforce is a leading provider of mobile plant hire solutions and has a wide-ranging fleet of over 2,000 pieces of equipment. The company is renewing their rental fleet and has teamed up with Ritchie Bros. UK to sell their current fleet.
Plantforce CEO Sam Mercer said, “Despite our field and workshop engineers' diligence and commitment to ensuring all kit is fully serviced and maintained in accordance with manufacturer guidelines, our customers require us to provide them with a modern and fresh fleet. With the reduction in emissions gained by recent developments in engine latest technology as a prime example, this has shaped our fleet regeneration strategy. We are delighted to work with Ritchie Bros. as a trusted resource as part of this process to ensure we provide our customers with sustainable plant hire solutions whilst machines exiting our fleet can go on to a productive second life”.
The auction, conducted entirely online from the Ritchie Bros. yard in Maltby, Rotherham, opens for bidding on 15th November and closes on 20th November. Interested buyers can explore a diverse range of Plantforce machinery, including excavators, wheel loaders, dumpers, telehandlers and more, with detailed listings available on rbauction.co.uk. The platform is updated daily with equipment descriptions, photos, and videos, offering full transparency for potential buyers.
