Surplus Industrial and Telecom Equipment

What surplus means on this site

Surplus is stock that reached us through a lot purchase rather than through a distributor. It is not remanufactured, it is not counterfeit, and it is not new old stock unless a listing says so in those words. In most cases it is working equipment that a business decommissioned because a line changed or a site closed.

The part number is the spec

Every category in this section is bought on part number. An Allen-Bradley catalogue number encodes voltage class and current rating; a FANUC A05B number is keyed to a controller generation; a toner part number either matches your printer or it does not. Match the number in the listing title against the unit you are replacing before you order. On surplus equipment the marketing description — ours included — is worth less than the number on the label.

What we will and will not tell you

Where a listing says a unit was tested, it was tested. Where condition is unknown the listing says it is unknown, because we would rather say so than guess. We can photograph a label, read you a serial, and in most cases power a unit up and tell you what it does. Ask before you buy: that is a faster answer than a return.

Freight

Heavier items ship on a pallet rather than in a box. Ask for a freight quote to your ZIP code before you commit, because on the cheaper listings here the freight can exceed the hardware.

The five lines this shelf actually holds

Nobody ordered any of this. It arrived, on pallets bought for something else, and it sorts into five lines. Industrial automation is the deepest of them: two Allen-Bradley drives and FANUC pendants — a PowerFlex 4M at 1 HP and a PowerFlex 525 at 3 HP — alongside a PanelView Component C600 touchscreen and two FANUC robot teach pendants, one of them an identified A05B-2301-C315 and one of them imported with no part number at all.

Telecom DC power is two large freight items: an Eltek −48 V plant with rectifiers and a battery backup module, and an Ericsson RBS 6000 base station assembly, which is carrier equipment and needs a licence before it is anything. Networking and computer hardware is a 24-port PoE+ managed switch and an ASUS ROG Strix RTX 3090 — which is on the site as a graphics card and not as mining hardware; its own listing tells you not to mine with it. Printer and toner is two sealed OEM cartridges, a CDK dealership part and an HP LaserJet contract cartridge. And collectibles is one 40 lb mixed lot of vintage Lincoln Logs, which is here because it turned up and we would rather list it honestly than pretend it is something else.

Read the condition wording, because it is not the same twice

This is the part of a surplus listing worth reading slowly, and on this shelf it says four different things. Counted item by item on 14 August 2026, four listings state new in some form — OEM sealed, new in box, or new open box. Two state tested, which means somebody powered it up and it did what it should. Five state that condition is not stated, in those words, because the lot they came in gave us nothing to state and we are not going to invent it. And one, the toy lot, says condition varies piece to piece, which is what vintage bulk honestly is.

Not one listing on this shelf states a warranty term. Not the sealed ones either. That is not an oversight and it is not a policy we are hiding — it is what surplus is: stock with no manufacturer relationship behind it, priced accordingly. Where a listing says tested, that is a statement about what we saw on the bench, not a term you can claim against later. If you need something in writing on a specific unit, ask before you pay and we will tell you exactly what we can put in writing on that one item, which is a faster answer than a return.

Who this shelf suits, and who should look elsewhere

It suits a maintenance buyer keeping an installed base alive. If a line is down and the cheap fix is the same drive, the same HMI or the same pendant rather than a new terminal and a re-drawn application, this is the market surplus exists for — and it is why a part Rockwell stopped making in 2016 still moves. It suits anyone who can identify what they need by part number rather than by description, because on this shelf the number on the label outranks anything we or any other reseller writes about it. And it suits a buyer who can absorb freight: the heavy items here palletise, so get a quote to your ZIP code before you commit, because on the cheaper listings the freight can exceed the hardware.

It does not suit a new build, a buyer who needs a warranty, a buyer who needs two matched units, or a buyer on a deadline who cannot afford the unit to be different from the photograph. For any of those, buy new from a distributor. We would rather say that than sell you the wrong thing once.

Browse it by type: Industrial Automation and Drives, Telecom and DC Power Systems, Networking and Computer Hardware, Printer and Toner Supplies and Collectibles and Toys. To give you an idea of what turns up here — a tested Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 525 drive, an Eltek telecom DC power system and a 24-port PoE+ managed switch are all current listings, and none of them have anything to do with mining.
