Auctioneers. "This equipment has come to us from great companies across Ohio and neighbouring states. By the end of the day all of the equipment will be sold to new owners—with no minimum bids or reserve prices."
Welded Construction has been building pipelines for close to 50 years. The company is selling equipment in the Columbus auction as part of a fleet realignment.
"We have an experienced staff of operators and mechanics who take great care of our entire fleet, so all the equipment we are selling is well-maintained," said Steve Weaver, Equipment Manager of Welded Construction. "While we are a pipeline contractor, much of the equipment we are selling—excavators, loaders, dozers, vocational trucks, truck tractors—can be used in a wide number of industries.
