Surplus wire buyers for western Kentucky
Western Kentucky pairs river industry with some of the state's heaviest electrical loads: aluminum plants, automotive assembly, food processing and a federal cleanup site that has been taking equipment apart for years.
Aluminum and automotive work dominate the electrical inventory in the west. Both use large feeder cable in the 4/0 to 750 kcmil range, and both replace equipment on long cycles, which leaves big reels with partial footage in plant yards. Because the distances between plants are long, surplus here tends to accumulate until somebody decides to clear a bay.
The decommissioning work around Paducah is its own category. Contractors taking apart process systems remove tray cable, control cable and medium-voltage feeder in quantity, often with documentation that makes it easier to price. That material is usually clean, identified and palletized, which is exactly what we want to see in a photo set.
Loading and access in Western Kentucky
