Built to move equipment

Our operation is built around equipment, so yours does not have to be.

Our warehouse, loading tools, packing stations, moving equipment, and shipping process are set up specifically for laboratory and industrial equipment. Because this is our everyday work, we can usually handle it more efficiently than an internal team managing a one time project.

01

Removal and handling

We plan the pickup, bring the appropriate moving equipment, protect the facility, and work around an agreed schedule.

02

Packing and transport

We have the materials, workspace, and process to prepare smaller equipment for parcel shipping and larger equipment for local delivery or freight.

03

Efficient resale

We already have the sales history, buyer relationships, storage, photography, testing, and shipping systems needed to put equipment back into useful service.

The Surplus IQ equipment network

Tell us what your operation needs. Relevant equipment starts finding its way to you.

For select repeat buyers, we keep a profile of what they need and look for matches through direct company purchases, industry contacts, brokers, private laboratories we work with, and inventory we already own. We can also contact laboratories in our network to ask whether suitable equipment may be available.

Build an equipment profile
Relevant equipmentWe learn your specifications and contact you when equipment appears to match the way your team actually works.
Condition judgmentWe inspect what we can, identify missing components, and represent the actual equipment clearly.
Purchase and deliveryWe handle the purchase, pickup, transport, and delivery so your team does not have to coordinate several vendors.
Lasting fitWe would rather recommend the less expensive option that suits the job than maximize one transaction.

Why companies work through us

More than a transaction. A dependable equipment partner.

Your team gains one accountable point for search, condition judgment, acquisition, transportation, delivery, and support.

Fit before upsell
