A Direct Review Point for Chicago-Area Industrial Surplus.
Ironcrest helps businesses turn idle industrial material into a sale opportunity. We review carbide tooling, copper cable, electrical equipment, plant assets and larger facility takeouts from the Chicago area, starting with photos and basic inventory details.
What to include in your submission
- Carbide tooling, inserts and scrap
- Copper wire, cable and bus bar
- Switchgear, breakers and transformers
- MCCs, bus duct and electrical distribution
- Plant closing and facility surplus
- Contractor and demolition project takeouts
Start with photos, not paperwork.
For an initial review, send clear overall photos plus close-ups of manufacturer labels, part numbers or nameplates when available. Include approximate quantity, city/state, condition and your preferred timing.
Preserve value: Keep identifiable equipment and unused material intact until it has been reviewed. Cutting, mixing or removing labels can make resale evaluation harder.

Before you send the inventory
What is the fastest way to start?
Send clear photos, location, quantity and any model or nameplate information. A short photo set is enough for an initial review.
Do you only buy scrap metal?
No. Ironcrest reviews both reusable industrial assets and commodity material. Keeping equipment intact can preserve value.
Can several categories be submitted together?
Yes. Mixed industrial inventories are common, especially during plant cleanouts, upgrades and closings.
