SELL SURPLUS TRAY, VFD & MOTOR LEAD CABLE FOR TOP DOLLAR
We buy surplus Tray cable, VFD cable, and motor lead cable from plant maintenance managers, electrical contractors, and industrial liquidators. If you are sitting on unused cable from a canceled project, a plant closure, or excess inventory, we pay top dollar for usable product. We are not a scrap yard; we resell usable cable, which means we pay more than scrap value. Whether you have TC-ER tray cable, shielded VFD cable, or high-temperature motor lead wire, we want to buy it. We handle the logistics and ensure payment before pickup, making the process seamless for you. Turn your surplus inventory into working capital today.

Technical Specifications & Common Manufacturers
Tray cable (TC-ER) is typically used for control and power circuits, featuring THHN/THWN or XHHW conductors with a PVC or CPE jacket, rated for 600V. VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) cable is specifically designed to handle voltage spikes and mitigate EMI, often featuring XLPE insulation, heavy shielding (copper tape or braid), and a robust jacket, rated up to 2000V. Motor lead cable, such as SRML or DLO, is built for high temperatures and flexibility, often rated for 600V to 2kV. Common manufacturers include Southwire, Belden, Okonite, and General Cable. These cables are essential in industrial environments, and surplus often comes from over-ordered stock or decommissioned equipment.

What Drives Value & How to Sell Your Surplus Cable
The resale value of surplus tray, VFD, and motor lead cable is driven by its usability. We pay above scrap value for cables that are unspliced, on sturdy reels, and have legible markings. The insulation type, voltage class, and whether it is a current catalog item also impact the price. To get a quote, provide clear photos of the reel tags, nameplates, and cable ends. We need to know the exact construction, gauge (AWG or kcmil), and put-up length. We handle the freight and rigging, but knowing the logistics of your site—such as loading dock access or union rules—helps us coordinate a smooth pickup.

Questions sellers ask
What information do I need to provide to sell my surplus tray or VFD cable?
We require clear photos of the reel tags, nameplates, and the cable ends to verify the insulation type, gauge, and condition. Minimum quantities depend on the cable type, but generally, we look for full or mostly full reels.
Why do you pay more than scrap value for surplus motor lead cable?
Value is driven by the cable's condition, length, age, and whether it's a current catalog item. Unspliced cables on good condition reels with legible markings command the highest prices.
Do you buy surplus cable from canceled industrial projects?
Yes, we buy surplus cable from canceled jobs, plant closures, and overstock inventory. As long as the cable is usable and meets our technical requirements, we are interested.
