“This is the biggest auction we have conducted this year in Ontario,” said Scott Zeilstra, regional sales manager for Canada-based RBA. “The auction already features more than 2,450 pieces of equipment from more than 400 sellers, and by the end of the auction every single piece will be sold and put to work by a new owner.

“This sale definitely has something for every equipment user - from great, late-model construction and transportation equipment to forestry and lifting equipment.”

Specific equipment highlights in the Bolton auction include four 2011 6598 Kenworth T800 sleeper truck tractors, four late model 6599 Tigercat H855C crawler processors, a 2011 178 Caterpillar 966H wheeled loader, and a 2012 257 John Deere 770GP motor grader.

More than 90 of the equipment items in the auction are being sold as part of a complete dispersal for Nighthawk Timber Company, a logging contractor based in Timmins, Ontario.

"We've been logging for 33 years and have now decided to retire from the business and will be selling our complete fleet, including late-model, well-maintained Tigercat harvesting equipment and our Kenworth truck fleet," said Don Stringer, co-owner of Nighthawk Timber Company.
