We buy warehouse overstock and dead stock

Every warehouse has a top rack nobody wants to climb. The reels up there are a mix: an odd gauge from a job that closed, a jacket type the spec no longer allows, a voltage class the local work moved away from. None of it is bad cable. It is cable that stopped being issued.

We buy that material from supply houses, contractors and plants around Greater Austin, and we clear it rack by rack. The review starts with your list of locations, not with a crew pulling every drum onto the floor to be measured, photographed and pushed back again.

Building a reel list from the rack

You do not need to move a reel to describe it. Walk the rack with a phone, photograph each tag, and write down the bay and the level. A tag plus a location is enough for a first pass, and it lets a buyer tell you which drums are worth pulling.

Where the tag has faded, shoot the jacket print instead. The print gives construction and gauge, and often the voltage class. Note anything that looks superseded, such as an older jacket compound where the current spec calls for something else.

Dead stock reviewed family by family

A mixed pallet of odd reels is not one lot. It is a dozen small lots that happen to share a shelf. We sort by construction first, then by gauge and voltage, because that is how the next user thinks when they need a length of something specific.

The sorting is also what keeps a review honest. One sound reel of 500 kcmil should not carry twenty short tails, and it will not if the list separates them before anyone quotes a figure. Splitting families is the difference between a real answer and a polite one.

Clearing one bay without stopping the line

Space is the real argument here. A bay of idle reels holds square footage you are already paying for, and the cable in it will not be issued next month either. Clearing one rack at a time keeps the decision small and reversible.

We work around your pick schedule. Staging happens in a marked area, reels leave in loads that fit your dock, and nothing on the live rack is touched. Give us the bay numbers and a window when the aisle is quiet.

The overstock we see sits in the warehouse rows off Howard Lane, Metric Boulevard, Burleson Road and the older pockets near Airport Boulevard, plus the newer shells out toward Taylor and Buda. Many of those buildings changed hands and the rack labels stopped matching the material underneath them.

Central Texas work also moves fast enough to strand a whole voltage class. When the local commercial spec settles on one wiring method for a few years, the reels bought for the previous one stop moving. That is the stock we clear.
