We purchase surplus industrial bearings from every type of industrial facility. If your plant, refinery, mine, or facility has surplus bearings, we want to buy them.
Bearing Buyers purchases surplus bearings from every type of industrial operation. Below are some of the most common industries we buy from, but this list is not exhaustive — if your facility uses industrial bearings, we want to buy your surplus.
Assembly lines, CNC machines, conveyors, packaging equipment, and all production machinery use bearings that eventually become surplus through upgrades and replacements.
Pumps, compressors, drilling equipment, pipeline systems, and rotating machinery in refineries and production facilities generate large volumes of surplus bearings.
Crushers, conveyors, screens, grinding mills, and processing equipment in mines require heavy-duty bearings that we purchase at premium prices.
Aircraft maintenance, engine overhauls, and defense system upgrades produce premium surplus bearings including mil-spec and aerospace-rated units.
Assembly line retooling, model year transitions, and equipment upgrades at automotive facilities create substantial surplus bearing inventory.
Turbines, generators, cooling systems, and auxiliary equipment at power plants use specialized bearings that hold significant resale value.
Processing lines, conveyors, mixers, and packaging equipment in food facilities use specialized bearings including stainless steel and sealed units.
Paper machines, refiners, presses, and dryer sections use large quantities of heavy-duty bearings that we purchase from mill closures and upgrades.
Pumps, mixers, reactors, and rotating equipment in chemical facilities use specialized bearings rated for high temperatures and corrosive environments.
No matter what industry you're in, if you have surplus industrial bearings, we want to buy them.
Manufacturer, part number, quantity and a one-word condition note per line is ideal. Photographs of box labels and pallets work just as well and are usually faster. We price from part numbers, so legible labels are worth more than written descriptions.
A cash offer within 24 hours of a usable list, pickup typically within a few business days, and payment on pickup or on receipt and verification depending on how the deal is structured. No listing fees, commissions or consignment waiting.
Yes, and it is a large part of what we do. We buy complete MRO cribs during closures, consolidations and line decommissioning, including mixed lots with seals, couplings, gearboxes, motors and drives alongside the bearings.
No hard minimum. Economics work best from a pallet upward, but a small quantity of high-value large-bore or obsolete bearings can justify a transaction on its own.
A scrap yard values a bearing as steel by weight. We value it as a part a plant needs, priced by number and aftermarket demand. On large-bore and discontinued items that difference is frequently one or two orders of magnitude.
