Hickory / Catawba County

We buy surplus electrical wire in Hickory

Furniture and textile plants, plus some of the largest data center campuses in the state. Catawba County has both ends of the wire market in one place.

Hickory's legacy manufacturing base means a lot of older plants with electrical infrastructure that gets upgraded in phases. Each phase leaves feeder and control cable behind.

The data center campuses around the Catawba Valley add a completely different stream: tray cable, large copper feeders and communication cable bought in enormous quantities and specified precisely.

Where the wire comes from in Hickory

Furniture and textile plant upgrades

Phased electrical upgrades in older plants produce partial reels of feeder, motor and control cable.

Data center and technology campuses

Large facilities in the area buy tray, VFD, control and communication cable in volume, and their leftovers are usually well tagged.

Industrial maintenance stock

Plants that keep spare cable on hand eventually clear it out, often as a mixed lot of identifiable reels.

Wire types to send from Hickory

Service area, not a branch

Hickory is a coverage area. We arrange pickup at your site; there is no office or yard to drop material at without talking to us first.

Selling surplus wire in Hickory

Send the wire type, gauge, approximate footage and where it is stored. Photos of the reel tag and the jacket legend shorten the process more than anything else you can put in the form.

If you are not sure what you have, call +1 (614) 715-3047 and read the print legend off the jacket. That is usually enough to identify it.

One reel or a full storage room

Both are normal. A single reel of large copper or medium voltage is worth a look on its own; small partials are worth moving when they travel together.

What to include on the form

  • Wire type and voltage class
  • Copper or aluminum, and the gauge or MCM
  • Approximate footage left, or full versus partial reel
  • Reel, spool, coil or carton count
  • Condition and whether the tag is still on the reel
  • The Hickory address or ZIP where it is stored
  • Loading: dock, forklift, or ground level

Hickory questions

Do you buy tray cable in Hickory?
Yes. Tray and VFD cable are among the most common items we review from this area.
Do you buy communication cable from data center projects?
It is reviewed, but structured cabling is a narrow market. Send the type, quantity and whether boxes are sealed.
Do you buy old plant maintenance stock?
Yes. A mixed lot of tagged reels is one of the better loads to send, since each reel can be priced on its own.
Do you travel from Hickory to surrounding counties?
Yes. Include the city or ZIP and the loading situation so travel can be included in the number.
