Frequently Asked Questions



Welcome, to American Surplus Inc.
If you have never done business with us, be rest assured, you will be pleased. If for some reason you're not, then we will make it right!

A.
  Is used equipment just someone else's headache?
   
 

The used warehouse equipment you purchase from American Surplus's warehouse is acquired by professional buyers with over a decade of experience. American Surplus buys its material handling equipment from companies either consolidating locations or closing their doors. We do not acquire product by trade-ins. We only accept good quality resalable merchandise.

American Surplus's reputation is second to none, with over 14,000 satisfied customers. It's these loyal customers that have made us the largest used material handling equipment dealer in the country.

   
B.
  How do I know that the material handling equipment I am buying is really in stock and owned by American Surplus, and not being brokered through another dealer?
   
  Some dealers in this business are simply brokers and try to flip product they do not own. Not at American Surplus, what we advertise is what we own. American Surplus's inventory of Racks, Shelving, Mezzanines, Totes, Lockers and Conveyors are available for inspection anytime. We have over 11,000 Frames, 250,000 Beams, and 400,000 Linear Feet of Conveyors and over 40,000 Totes in stock. American Surplus operates out of a 460,000 square foot warehouse with 62 dock doors. Now that is impressive!
   
C.
  Can I buy my rack from American Surplus and have it repainted?
   
  American Surplus will at a fee, clean and paint your pallet rack. We are not an auto body shop but we can enhance the existing condition of the used pallet rack with electrostatic painting done at American Surplus . This same rack can be purchased “as is” at a considerable discount.
   
D.
  We are moving and want to buy new material handling equipment for our new warehouse. Will American Surplus buy our used equipment?
   
  Providing it is in good resalable condition…yes! We can also provide you a great price on your new warehouse equipment needs. As well, American Surplus can also handle the Installation, Freight, and Teardown of the old facility and sweep the floor clean when we are done.
   
E.
  I heard that when buying used equipment the terms are COD or 50/50, Why?
   
  Easy, when we buy used material handling equipment from companies going out of business they never seem to want to give us terms. Common sense will tell you why. At American Surplus , if we gave you a 30-day payment term and paid COD for our purchases, well then we would simply not be able to operate efficiently. 50/50 on the other hand only applies to conveyors or mezzanines where extra work is necessary to complete the project.
