SURPLUS AND SECOND-HAND STEEL SALES

Steel is one of the most important materials for many industries and businesses especially for those involved in building and construction. Our Surplus steel yard is comprehensive and the stock is always changing as we purchase materials from the public and source it from steel suppliers. When Normal steel products is too expensive to justify the job, surplus steel products might be the perfect solution. Sometimes it is as structurally strong as Normal steel, with the benefit of saving 25% – 50% or more off the price. Surplus steel is essentially new steel with some minor imperfections. These imperfections can be bad paint finish, insufficient galvanising, off standard wall thickness, weld faults or non-standard lengths.

FAQ

  • What is Surplus steel products?

    Surplus steel is a term used for selling steel that does not meet compliance, government standards or normal sizes. Much like retail uses “seconds” for second rate stock. Other reasons for the Surplus items may be due to weathering, dents or simply unconventional wall thicknesses. It may be nearly perfect in quality, but it is classified as Surplus with no warranty and no promise of compliance.

Not to be used for projects that need to meet structural compliance and standards. It is ideal for all non-structural applications. Vegetable gardens, edging, paths, decorative and other similar non-structural projects are perfect for downgrade steel. Using the Surplus steel can save you a lot of money.

  • Are there any problems with Surplus steel products?

Stock and quality may also present limitations to large projects. Sometimes the Surplus materials may be bent, uneven, weathered or rusted and the condition needs to be considered for the job. That said, these deformations may be an advantage and used as a decorative and unusual feature. For the right job, Surplus steel products present a low-cost alternative with unusual visual advantages.
