Cat Auction Services' President Rick Albin said, "We're extremely pleased with the results of our first eQuipment Yard auction. The sales total significantly exceeded our projections, and the impressive participant traffic on our website shows that bidders value our TA-1 inspection reports, the equipment videos and other in-depth information we have available. It's further evidence that our buyer-be-informed approach is resonating with our customers."

Cat Auction Services entered the heavy equipment auction arena in 2008.
