Of the trailers, a selection of 2012 and later model Kenworth (including combination trailers) will be available.
The asset dispersion comes after an agreement was reached with Gordon Brothers, a global advisory, restructuring, and investment firm.
Ritchie Bros. APAC Sales Director, Finlay Massey said the fleet is being strategically allocated to multiple auctioneers (including Ritchie Bros) in unreserved auctions; such as IronPlanet reserved auctions and the 24/7 Marketplace-E over the next few months.
