Ironcrest Industrial Surplus reviews copper wire, cable and bus bar from Michigan automotive suppliers, stamping plants, electrical contractors, facilities and demolition projects. Send photos before the material gets mixed into a general scrap load.
Automotive suppliers and stamping plants, electrical contractors, tool and die shops, industrial facilities, demolition crews and project managers in Detroit, Grand Rapids, Warren, Sterling Heights, Flint, Lansing and across Michigan.
Clear photos, jacket markings, gauge or conductor size, approximate weight or footage, your city, and desired removal timing. Photos of cut ends and reel or spool labels speed review.
Ironcrest serves Michigan from our Chicago-area base. Every lot starts with photos and details — we price from current market conditions, then work through the logistics that fit the lot: freight for larger lots, coordinated pickup for large opportunities, and photo review for smaller clean lots.
Photograph the printing on the insulation, reel labels, conductor size and cut ends. State whether the cable is copper, insulated, armored, tinned or mixed with attachments, and note the grade — bare bright, #1, #2 or insulated — when you know it.
Provide approximate weight, footage, reel count or pallet count. Group photos with a person, pallet or familiar object for scale can speed initial review and keep the pricing conversation accurate.
Separate heavy copper cable, bare copper, bus bar and aluminum cable when practical. Clean separation improves identification and avoids unnecessary handling at either end.
Michigan's automotive economy generates heavy, high-volume copper streams. Stamping plants, assembly facilities and tier suppliers around Detroit, Warren and Sterling Heights run constant electrical upgrades — panel changeouts, feeder replacements and press-line rewires that produce heavy power cable, bus duct and copper bus bar. Equipment removals and line changeovers at automotive suppliers free up THHN, industrial cable and bus plugs in quantities that dwarf ordinary contractor leftovers.
Plant teardowns and decommissioning projects across Southeast Michigan — and older industrial properties in Flint and Lansing — turn up large volumes of demolition copper: feeders, bus duct runs, transformers with copper windings and building wire. Send photos before demolition starts or before the material is mixed into a general scrap stream. Grand Rapids-area manufacturing and construction add contractor surplus and facility upgrades to the mix.
Distance is handled with process: photos first, pricing from market conditions, then the right logistics for the lot size. There is no Ironcrest facility in Michigan — we buy via freight for larger lots and coordinate pickup for large opportunities from our Chicago-area base.
Every Michigan lot starts with photos: cut ends, jacket markings, reel labels, gauge and estimated weight or footage. If the material fits what we buy, we discuss price and the logistics that make sense for the lot.
Palletized wire, reels and bus bar can move by freight. Send dims, estimated weight and your pickup ZIP and we can work through freight options for qualifying lots — plant quantities included.
For large opportunities we can discuss pickup coordination from our Chicago-area base, arranged around the material, site access and timing. Decommissioning and teardown projects are reviewed from photos and equipment lists before anything moves.
We evaluate bare bright copper, #1 and #2 insulated copper wire, THHN building wire, heavy feeder and power cable, copper bus bar, bus duct, and surplus industrial cable. Send clear photos of the material, jacket markings, gauge or conductor size when known, and the approximate weight or footage.
Yes. We review copper from plant teardowns, equipment removals, and decommissioning projects. Send photos before demolition when possible — sorted, identified copper is worth more than material mixed into a general scrap stream.
Send photos, estimated weight or footage, material type, and your city or ZIP code. We price each lot from current market conditions and the recoverable or resale value of the material, so public per-pound prices are not posted.
Yes. We review large lots from stamping plants, automotive suppliers, contractors, and demolition projects. For larger lots, include pallet counts, reel sizes, access details, and whether loading equipment is available so freight can be arranged.
Ironcrest serves Michigan from our Chicago-area base. We buy from Michigan sellers via freight for qualifying larger lots and coordinate pickup for large opportunities. Smaller lots can be reviewed from photos first. Send the address or ZIP code with photos so the logistics options can be confirmed.
Have copper wire, cable, or bus bar to sell in Michigan? Send photos for today’s price — photos, quantity, jacket or reel details, and your city to [email protected] or call 312-880-8174.
Industrial equipment can be worth more intact than as scrap. Clear photos and nameplates help determine whether resale, component recovery or commodity recovery is the best path.
Photograph the material, nameplates and quantity, then send them through the quote form, by email or by phone.
We review what the material is, its condition and quantity, and whether it fits a direct purchase.
For qualifying material, we discuss a direct purchase offer and the next steps.
