Items sold will include a new 2014 Mack Granite concrete mixer truck, donated by Mack Trucks Inc. and McNeilus Co. The auction starts at 1:00 p.m. in the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center (N262). All items will be sold to the highest bidders — there are no minimum bids or reserve prices.

Ritchie Bros. will also have an exhibit at World of Concrete (Feb. 3-6, booth C4111) and conduct an unreserved equipment auction at its Las Vegas auction site (Feb. 6).

"All funds raised by the CIM auction will support and benefit future leaders of the concrete industry, and we're proud to help out for the 10th consecutive year," said Joe Byers, Regional Sales Manager, Ritchie Bros.
