01You Are Paid Before It Moves

Funds change hands before a single reel leaves your property. There is no consignment and no waiting on a downstream resale.

02No Sorting Or Stripping

You are never asked to sort, measure, strip or re-spool anything. Our team grades the material from photos and our own inspection.

03We Cover Freight and Loading

Trucks, forklifts, reel handling and pallet wrapping are billed to us. That cost is already priced into the offer you receive.

04Mixed Lots Are Welcome

Full reels, partial reels, boxed coils, loose cut-offs and several different constructions on one skid are all normal to us.

What we look for in tray cable & control cable

Tray cable and multiconductor control cable are industrial materials, which means the surplus tends to arrive in big, heavy reels from process plants, refineries, water treatment facilities and manufacturing retrofits. TC-ER power and control cable, VFD cable with its shielding and symmetrical grounds, and instrument cable are all in scope.

Multiconductor cable is worth substantially more as resale material than as recovery material, because rebuilding a reel of 12-conductor shielded control cable is expensive and lead times can be long. A plant that needs 400 feet of a specific construction will happily buy a surplus reel, which is why we can pay well for it.

Tell us the construction if you can read it off the reel tag: conductor count, gauge, shielded or unshielded, and the type code. If the tag is gone, a photo of the print line on the jacket is usually enough for us to identify it and quote it accurately.

Tray Cable & Control Cable: common questions

Straight answers

Do you buy tray cable & control cable in any condition?

Yes. Full reels with legible tags or print line We do not require sorting, stripping or re-spooling.

How do you decide what to offer?

Conductor size, metal, insulation type, voltage rating, footage, packaging and the legibility of the print line, weighed against what that specific combination is worth on the resale market right now.

Who handles loading and freight?

We do, at our cost. That includes the truck, the forklift, the reel handling and the pallet wrapping.

How fast can you pick up?
