What Orbit stands for
A few principles shape every decision in the system.
Built for the marketplace
Every pattern is tuned for the realities of heavy-equipment auctions — lots, bids, reserves, and inspection reports.
Accessible by default
Components ship meeting WCAG guidance, so keyboard, screen-reader, and low-vision buyers can bid with confidence.
Consistent everywhere
One set of tokens, components, and content rules keeps Ritchie Bros. feeling like one product across every surface.
Fast to build with
Composable, documented parts mean teams assemble new auction experiences instead of rebuilding the basics.
Explore the system
Everything you need to design and build for the marketplace, in one place.
Foundations
The rules underneath everything — currency formatting, internationalization, and the values that guide how Orbit is built.
Design
Color, typography, layout, depth, icons, and interaction states — the visual language that makes every lot page feel like Ritchie Bros.
Content
How Orbit writes — grammar, error messages, naming, alt text, and inclusive language for buyers, sellers, and bidders.
Components
A library of accessible, production-ready building blocks — grouped the way engineers already think about them.
Icons
The full Orbit icon set — searchable, copyable, and ready to drop into any auction or equipment interface.
