Summary
With the April edition of the Ritchie Bros. Used Equipment Market Trends summary report, we look back at key equipment category sales in the United States and Canada from March 2021 using the RB Now! functionality in the RB Market Trends tool, which provides a snapshot of Ritchie Bros. transactions over the last 30 days. We have also included new, updated price indexes in this edition.
We are now more than a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, with vaccines and stimulus relief on the way. Online shopping has hit new heights, positively impacting the transportation industry. Working from home has resulted in home renovations and an exodus to the suburbs, directly impacting the construction sector. We can see these impacts directly in our Market Trends tool and the price indexes for each industry in this report.
March was a big month, with unprecedented demand resulting in strong pricing across nearly all equipment categories. Ritchie Bros. held a number of large events last month, including three U.S. regional auctions that sold approximately 15,000 equipment items from 13 different locations. By combining these smaller local auctions into larger online regional events, we have seen demand skyrocket. These three online regional events in the Rocky Mountain, Northeast, and Midwest regions attracted more than 11,000 online bidders each.
Meanwhile in Canada, we held our largest Ontario auction ever in March 2021, selling 4,300+ items for CA$49+ million (US$39+ million). This hybrid live/online auction in Toronto attracted a site record 10,000+ online bidders.
The following week, on March 17 – 18, we held our largest Texas auction ever. The US$95+ million auction also set a new demand record, attracting 16,000+ bidders from 79 countries.
We also continue to see strong demand and pricing for all our online events through IronPlanet, GovPlanet, and Marketplace-E, selling more than 17,000 items in March.
Overall, we sold more equipment in the United States than Canada in March, resulting in some of the volume discrepancies between the countries in the charts below. For more information like this, sign up for Ritchie Bros. Market Trends tool, which is now being updated daily with auction data.
As showcased in our new indexes, we continue to see positive pricing trends for earthmoving, transportation, and aerial equipment in March. Specifically, we saw a big year over year uptick in median pricing for excavators, dozers, articulated dump trucks, skid steers, truck tractors, and boom lifts last month.

Ritchie Bros. Mix Adjusted Used Price Indexes
Ritchie Bros. uses a machine learning-based method to calculate a used price index:
To isolate and measure the change in supply / demand dynamics on prices over time, we use various machine learning techniques to correct for equipment mix such as make, model, age, as well as 100+ features.
Indexes are validated by correlating with key industry metrics:
We validate our used pricing indexes by correlating them against well-followed industry metrics such as sales or or-ders. In this example, the U.S. Ritchie Bros. Heavy Duty Truck price index is plotted vs the U.S. Heavy Duty Truck Sales index. The correlation between the two is clear, with the price index leading the sales index.
▸ 1.8 million transactions
▸ Data from 2005 onwards
▸ Adjusting for 100+ features
▸ Includes data from the U.S. and Canada

One year ago, we unveiled our mix adjusted price indexes as part of this monthly report. It was good timing and a good test; no one knew what would happen with used equipment pricing through the pandemic. On the ground, there was a clear sense prices were strengthening. With the Ritchie Bros. price indexes, we were able to adjust for asset mix and quantify and visualize the year-on-year price inflation. We’ve been very pleased the way equipment sellers, buyers, OEMs, and financial institutions have adopted the indexes and have validated their market insights.
At the one-year anniversary, we’ve taken the opportunity to simplify and add some new indexes. Overall we have made the category composition of the indexes simpler and clearer. We have also split Earthmoving into Medium and Large, and replaced Lifting and Material Handling with a more narrowly defined Aerial index. The indexes have been restated historically and you will see the shape of the trends is very similar to what you’ve seen in previous months.
