Plant maintenance buys cable ahead of need because a shutdown is not the time to discover a size is missing. When the equipment changes, the spare reels stay, and the crib slowly fills with material for machines that no longer exist.
Shutdowns and line changes are the natural moment to clear it, and medium voltage reels are usually the largest single item in the pile.
What we buy from industrial plants
Maintenance crib stock
Tagged reels of THHN, XHHW, control and tray cable kept as spares.
Shutdown leftovers
Cable bought for a turnaround and not consumed, often still sealed.
Medium voltage reels
15kV and 5kV distribution cable left after a feeder replacement, with tags and test data.

What we need from you
- Crib inventory with type, size and footage
- Which items are spare stock and which came out of service
- For medium voltage, the reel tag and any test data
Handled around production
Plant loads are scheduled, escorted and documented. We work to your access rules, load during agreed windows, and price medium voltage on the tag and documentation rather than appearance.
