We Buy Used Material Handling Equipment

Turn Your Surplus Equipment Into Capital

Most businesses don’t figure out the equipment problem until the lease clock is already running. You’ve got 60 days to clear a 50,000-square-foot DC, steel racking bolted to every wall, and no obvious buyer lined up. That’s the call we get more than you’d think, and we can usually move faster than you’d expect.

A&A Surplus Inc. actively purchases used material handling equipment, including pallet racks, cantilever racks, industrial steel shelving, conveyor systems, and mezzanines from facilities across the country. A few surplus bays or an entire distribution center – we have the capital and the crews to handle it either way.

Why Sell to A&A Surplus?

In business since 1939. BBB A+ rated. That combination matters more than it sounds, because this market has no shortage of “buyers” who are really just brokers, people who show up for the inspection, disappear for two weeks, then come back with an offer that’s 40% lower than what they quoted you on the phone. We’ve heard this story from sellers before. It’s why a lot of them call us first now.

Our technical team knows what structural steel and teardrop racking actually trades for on the resale market. When we put a number on the table, it’s grounded in what we know we can sell the equipment for, not a fishing expedition. We’ve been doing this for over 85 years. We’re not showing up to your site with a notepad and a phone camera.

Here’s what selling to us actually looks like in practice:

• Fair Market Valuations: We price by condition, brand, and specs. What the equipment will sell for, not what we can get away with offering.
• Fast, Reliable Payment: Well-capitalized, established corporation. When we agree on a price, payment is prompt. No bounced checks. No delayed wire transfers.
• Turn-Key Teardown and Removal: We don’t just write a check. Our insured crews handle the complete teardown, banding, and freight logistics. We leave the facility clean.
• National Reach: Headquartered in Plantsville, CT, but our acquisition teams travel nationwide. We’ve extracted equipment from facilities coast to coast.

We’re not brokers. That distinction matters more than most people realize when they’re in the middle of a facility exit.

Equipment We Actively Purchase

Our 15-acre yard turns over fast, which means we’re buying used equipment constantly. We’re particularly interested in:

• Pallet Racking: Teardrop, structural, drive-in, pushback, pallet flow
• Cantilever Racking: Structural and roll-formed, single and double-sided
• Industrial Shelving: Heavy-duty steel shelving, rivet shelving, wire decking
• Automated Systems: Conveyor systems, AS/RS components, vertical lift modules
• Warehouse Accessories: Lockers, steel cabinets, dump hoppers, safety barriers

Condition matters, but don’t talk yourself out of calling before you do. We’ve purchased racks that looked rough in the photos and still paid well for them because the structural members were sound. Let us make that call.

How the Process Works

Four steps. No hidden steps.

1. Initial Contact: Call 1-800-826-5326 or email sales@aasurplusinc.com. Brand, approximate quantities, location. That’s all we need to start.
2. Evaluation: Photos and an inventory list for smaller lots. For large liquidations, our team travels to your site, on-site valuation, no charge.
3. The Offer: Clear, no-obligation purchase offer. Price and removal terms in writing before anything moves.
4. Extraction: We schedule around your timeline. Our crews dismantle, band, load, and haul. You hand over the keys to an empty building.

Stop paying to store equipment you no longer need. Call 1-800-826-5326.
