How to Sell Your Surplus Steel Processing Equipment

If you’ve found yourself with surplus steel processing equipment sitting idle, you’re likely seeking a reliable way to sell it. Whether it’s machinery from a downsizing operation, a facility upgrade, or a change in production focus, Galaxie Corporation is a top buyer for surplus equipment. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how you can successfully sell your surplus steel processing equipment to us.

1. Gather Detailed Information About Your Equipment

Before contacting any buyer, it’s important to have all relevant information about your surplus equipment. Galaxie Corporation deals with a variety of machinery, from roll formers to slitting lines, so the more details you can provide, the better. Essential information includes:

• Type of equipment: Be specific about the machinery—whether it’s a cut-to-length line, slitting line, press, or tube mill.
• Manufacturer: Equipment from well-known manufacturers such as Fagor, Herr Voss, Red Bud, Paxson, Braner, Oto Mills, SMS, and others is often easier to sell.
• Year of manufacture: Older machinery can still be of value, but the age and condition will play a role in pricing.
• Technical specifications: Provide detailed specs, including capacity, electrical requirements, and control systems.
• Photos and videos: High-quality images and videos showing the equipment in action (if operational) or in storage help buyers evaluate it faster.
• Service and maintenance records: A well-maintained machine can fetch a higher price, so any service history adds to the appeal.
• Condition: Be upfront about any damage or repairs needed, as this will affect negotiations.

2. Contact Galaxie Corporation

Once you have all the information, it’s time to reach out. Galaxie Corporation specializes in buying and selling used steel processing equipment, making them an ideal buyer for your surplus assets. You can contact us via:

3. Be Ready for a Follow-Up Conversation

Once Galaxie Corporation receives your submission, we may request further details or ask questions about the equipment’s operational status. It’s important to have someone knowledgeable about the machine’s operation and condition available to provide additional insights. If the equipment is still operational, you might also need to schedule a time for Galaxie’s experts to inspect it in person or through a video call.

4. Prepare for Inspection 

If Galaxie Corporation is interested in your equipment, the next step may involve a physical inspection, especially if the machine is still operational.

It’s advisable to work with experienced professionals when disassembling large or complex machines to ensure the process goes smoothly and no damage occurs. If you have already disassembled the equipment, provide accurate details on the process and how the machine is currently stored.

5. Negotiate Pricing and Terms

Galaxie Corporation typically offers a fair market value for used steel processing equipment based on several factors, such as demand, condition, and current market trends. During the negotiation process, be prepared to discuss:

• Payment terms: Galaxie is known for straightforward transactions, but it’s important to clarify payment terms.
• Logistics: Discuss how the equipment will be disassembled and whether loading is included.
• Shipping costs: Determine whether you or Galaxie Corporation will handle transportation costs. When purchasing equipment, Galaxie often arranges for transportation but clarifying these details ahead of time helps avoid misunderstandings.

6. Disassembly

It’s advisable to work with experienced professionals when disassembling large or complex machines to ensure the process goes smoothly and no damage occurs. If you have already disassembled the equipment, provide accurate details on the process and how the machine is currently stored.

7. Finalize the Sale

Once all inspections, negotiations, and arrangements are completed, it’s time to finalize the sale. Double-check all paperwork, including the bill of sale, equipment description, and payment terms. Once everything is in order, you can proceed with transferring ownership and receiving payment.
