FACILITY LIQUIDATION

Selling Assets From a Chicago-Area Facility Closing or Cleanout?

A facility closing often contains several separate value streams: electrical distribution, copper cable, carbide tooling, machinery support equipment and reusable industrial surplus. Ironcrest reviews the facility as a whole so higher-value items can be identified before everything is treated as bulk scrap.

MATERIALS WE REVIEW

What to include in your submission

  • Electrical rooms and distribution equipment
  • Copper cable, bus bar and takeouts
  • Carbide tooling and machine shop inventories
  • Spare parts, shop equipment and industrial surplus
  • Warehouse and plant support assets
  • Multi-category cleanouts and decommissioning projects

Start with photos, not paperwork.

For an initial review, send clear overall photos plus close-ups of manufacturer labels, part numbers or nameplates when available. Include approximate quantity, city/state, condition and your preferred timing.

Preserve value: Keep identifiable equipment and unused material intact until it has been reviewed. Cutting, mixing or removing labels can make resale evaluation harder.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before you send the inventory

When should I contact you during a closing?

As early as practical. Photos taken before dismantling can preserve information and make the inventory easier to evaluate.

Do I need a complete spreadsheet first?

No. Start with wide photos of each area and close-ups of labels on valuable equipment. A detailed inventory can follow if needed.

Can you review only part of a facility?

Yes. You can submit a single electrical room, machine shop, tool crib or selected surplus categories.

HAVE MATERIAL READY NOW?

Send the photos while the inventory is still intact.
