In the world of industrial automation, Allen Bradley equipment remains a cornerstone for PLCs, drives, I/O modules, and control systems. If your facility is upgrading, consolidating, or retiring old assets, you may find yourself holding significant unused inventory — what we call Allen Bradley surplus. At VB Industrial Supply, we specialise in helping you turn that surplus into value.

Why Allen Bradley Surplus Matters

Because Allen Bradley components are widely used — both in current and legacy systems — surplus items can still hold strong market value. Many companies accumulate unused modules, processor units, I/O racks, drives, and operator interfaces when systems are refreshed. Rather than letting this equipment sit idle, it can be monetised:

  • Surplus Allen Bradley modules from discontinued lines are often hard to source, meaning demand remains.
  • Holding unused assets ties up capital and warehouse space; by selling them, you release working capital and reduce storage burden.
  • At VB Industrial Supply, we view surplus as part of a circular‐economy approach—keeping quality industrial equipment in use rather than scrapped.

How VB Industrial Supply Handles Your Allen Bradley Surplus

At VB Industrial Supply we've built a streamlined process for surplus disposal:

  1. Submit inventory details

    Tell us the Allen Bradley parts you have: model/part numbers (for example, 1756-IF16, 1747-L552, 2711P-T10C22D9P), quantity, condition (new, unused, used, “as removed”), photos, and any packaging or original boxes.

    2. Free evaluation & fair quote

    We evaluate the items based on condition, market demand, brand/series, and quantity. As noted on our own site, our mission includes helping manufacturers convert surplus into cash and free up space.

    3. Logistics & handling

    Once you accept our offer, we coordinate shipping or pickup. We handle receipt inspection and payment processing.

    4. Quick payment & closure

    After verification, we pay promptly — you've converted your Allen Bradley surplus into real value.

What Types of Allen Bradley Surplus Do We Accept?

At VB Industrial Supply we frequently handle:

  • PLC CPUs and modules: SLC 500 series, CompactLogix, ControlLogix families.
  • I/O modules (digital/analog), communication cards (Ethernet/IP, DeviceNet, ControlNet).
  • HMI/PanelView systems, operator interface panels that have become redundant.
  • Drives and servo or motion control modules when systems are upgraded or decommissioned.

Tips to Maximise Return on Your Allen Bradley Surplus

  • Provide full details: part numbers, condition, serials, date codes and photos. Transparency improves offers.
  • Highlight unused or “new old stock” items — they often attract higher value.
  • Bundle like items: if you have multiple units of the same module, grouping them simplifies resale.
  • Move surplus sooner rather than later — as systems evolve, demand for specific legacy parts may decline.
  • Ensure items are stored well and included packaging or labels when available — better presentation often equals better value.
