Birmingham was built on iron and steel and still carries a heavy manufacturing, foundry and fabrication base, including cast iron pipe production, machine shops and industrial distributors, alongside a large medical and university economy.
Birmingham's surplus is industrial in the old sense: cast iron and carbon steel gate, globe and check valves in water, steam and air service, much of it decades old and much of it still entirely usable. Foundries and pipe plants also produce new surplus when orders change.
Mixed lots, partial assemblies, actuated and bare-stem valves and valves needing repair are all considered. We will review a list rather than demand a perfect inventory, and you do not need to sort or clean anything before sending it.
What turns up here
Surplus stock in Birmingham
The common thread in Birmingham is that the material is surplus for administrative reasons rather than technical ones. A unit was re-rated, a line was re-piped, a project closed out, a fleet changed, a store was consolidated. The valve is the part that has to move, not the part that failed.
Collection
Pickup in Birmingham and across Jefferson County
Collection is arranged from your site, not the other way round. We work to your access rules, your gate booking and your safety induction, and we bring the lifting and loading arrangements. Across Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama we can usually be on site within a few working days of an agreed offer, and faster when a demobilisation date is driving the schedule.
