Aertssen Transport NV, a Belgian logistics service provider specialized in transporting goods with exceptional dimensions, is selling several trucks and trailers in the Moerdijk auction, including a 2007 Mercedes-Benz Actros 3350 6×2 truck, three 2005 Mercedes-Benz Actros 2541 6×2 trucks, a 2005 Mercedes-Benz 2041 4×4 combination truck with end dump trailer and three DMC-Meiller end dump trailers.
“In the September auction in Moerdijk, Ritchie Bros. will sell several well-maintained trucks and other items on our behalf,” said Luc Aertssen, Owner of Aertssen Transport NV. “We’ve frequently sold equipment and trucks with Ritchie Bros. over the years because their auctions attract a lot of on-site and online bidders from the international market. An unreserved Ritchie Bros. auction is a powerful selling channel, as the demand for the items we’re selling could be close to home or in markets far abroad. Our trucks, in particular, have international bidding potential because of their brand and specifications. Either way, it gives us the certainty that our items are sold to the highest bidders on the auction day. Whenever we’re adjusting our fleet, we can always find a way to partner up with Ritchie Bros.”

“We’re very excited to hold our first ever auction in Finland,” said Jorma Karjalainen, Territory Manager, Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers. “For many years, people from Finland, as well as Sweden, Norway and Denmark, have been selling and buying equipment at our auctions around the world and in particular at our auction site in Moerdijk, The Netherlands.
