Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a surplus motor valuable? +

The most valuable surplus motors are large HP (100 HP and above), from premium brands (ABB, Siemens, GE), in working condition, explosion-proof rated, or with special features like inverter duty or washdown ratings. Even small motors have value — we buy everything.

How do I know if my motor is worth selling? +

If your motor is 5 HP or larger, it almost certainly has resale value. Even smaller motors are worth selling in quantity. The easiest way to find out is to call us at 954-488-0700 with the nameplate information — brand, HP, RPM, voltage, and frame size.

Do you buy motors from plant shutdowns? +

Yes — plant shutdowns are our specialty. We can purchase the entire motor inventory from a facility, handle all removal and logistics, and pay you on the day of pickup. Call us early in the shutdown planning process to get the best value.

Can you value a motor without seeing it? +

Yes — with the nameplate information (brand, HP, RPM, voltage, frame size) and a description of the condition, we can usually give you a firm offer over the phone. For large lots, we prefer to do an on-site assessment.

Do you buy motors internationally? +

We primarily buy motors in the continental United States. For motors in Canada, Mexico, or overseas, call us to discuss — we handle international purchases on a case-by-case basis.

What is the scrap value of an electric motor? +

The scrap value of an electric motor is based primarily on its copper content (the windings) and steel content (the frame and laminations). A typical NEMA motor yields about 20-30% of its weight in copper. However, motors with resale value are worth significantly more than scrap — always get a quote before scrapping.
