Shelby / Cleveland County

We buy surplus electrical wire in Shelby

A manufacturing town between Charlotte and the mountains. Shelby's plants buy motor, control and welding cable, and they hold onto the balance.

Cleveland County's economy runs on fabrication, plastics and heavy manufacturing, with a community college and a hospital anchoring the institutional side. Electrical work follows the equipment.

Motor replacement programs, line changes and plant expansions all consume cable in partial quantities, which is exactly what ends up in a maintenance crib for a decade.

Where the wire comes from in Shelby

Metal fabrication and plastics

Motor feeders, control cable and VFD cable from equipment changes in the county's plants.

Welding and shop work

Welding lead and SOOW from fabrication shops that re-equip constantly.

Institutional and healthcare

Hospital and college renovation produces MC, fire alarm and feeder cable in tagged partials.

Wire types to send from Shelby

Service area, not a branch

Shelby is a coverage area. We arrange pickup at your site; there is no office or yard to drop material at without talking to us first.

Selling surplus wire in Shelby

Send the wire type, gauge, approximate footage and where it is stored. Photos of the reel tag and the jacket legend shorten the process more than anything else you can put in the form.

If you are not sure what you have, call +1 (614) 715-3047 and read the print legend off the jacket. That is usually enough to identify it.

One reel or a full storage room

Both are normal. A single reel of large copper or medium voltage is worth a look on its own; small partials are worth moving when they travel together.

What to include on the form

  • Wire type and voltage class
  • Copper or aluminum, and the gauge or MCM
  • Approximate footage left, or full versus partial reel
  • Reel, spool, coil or carton count
  • Condition and whether the tag is still on the reel
  • The Shelby address or ZIP where it is stored
  • Loading: dock, forklift, or ground level

Shelby questions

Do you buy cable from Shelby fabrication shops?
Yes. Welding lead and control cable are the two most common items from shops in this area.
Do you travel west of Shelby?
Yes, including the counties toward Asheville and Hickory. Travel is part of the quote.
Do you buy plant maintenance stock?
Yes, and a pallet of tagged reels is one of the cleaner loads to send.
Is short welding lead worth selling?
Usually not on its own. It is worth including when it travels with other wire from the same shop.
