Why Orlando Is an Auction Freight Hotspot
The Orlando–Kissimmee corridor sees the single largest concentration of auction freight in the country. Ritchie Bros’ permanent Orlando yard runs sales year-round on top of the February mega-event. Yoder & Frey’s Kissimmee sale draws consignments from across the Southeast. Add in IronPlanet online pickups staged at the Orlando yard, and you have a market where flatbed, step-deck, and RGN demand spikes hard around every sale date.
Shipping from Orlando — What to Know
Most Orlando auction freight moves north on I-95 or I-75, west on I-4 to Tampa and I-10 across the Gulf Coast, or onto flatbeds heading to the Northeast via I-95. Oversize loads (dozers, cranes, large excavators) need Florida DOT permits and often a pilot car — IronHaul handles the paperwork and books the right trailer for every load.
Where Orlando Auction Equipment Ships To
Most equipment bought at Orlando-area auctions heads to these markets — but we ship nationwide.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I ship equipment from a Orlando auction?
Send us the auction listing or lot number, and we'll quote the move before the sale closes. IronHaul handles trailer selection, permits, and pickup coordination with the auction yard — you just win the bid.
What trailers do you use for Orlando auction freight?
Most auction equipment ships on flatbed, step deck, or RGN depending on weight and dimensions. Skid steers and forklifts typically go flatbed; dozers and large excavators go RGN. We match the trailer to the machine.
How fast can you pick up from a Orlando auction?
We can usually schedule pickup within 2–5 business days of sale close, depending on the auction house's release timeline. During major sale events, we pre-position capacity to move faster.
