When standard distribution channels are quoting long lead times, have discontinued the part, or simply can't locate what you need: Edmundson Industrial provides an alternative path. Send us a part number, nameplate data, or equipment description. We'll check inventory and supply options and respond with availability, condition, and pricing.
Industrial electrical equipment has a long service life, often decades. But manufacturers discontinue products, change product lines, and stop supporting legacy systems. When that happens, standard distribution channels stop carrying inventory, and the only answer they can give you is "discontinued" or a lead time measured in months.
Edmundson Industrial provides an alternative. We maintain select physical surplus inventory and source discontinued, obsolete, and hard-to-find industrial electrical equipment through established supply channels. We have the relationships and the network to locate parts that aren't in standard catalogs.
The process is straightforward: send us a part number, nameplate data, or a description of what you need. We check current inventory and sourcing options, and respond with availability, condition details, and pricing. If we can locate it, we'll quote it. If we can't, we'll tell you that directly.
Edmundson Industrial sources hard-to-find and obsolete industrial electrical equipment across all major product categories. These are the types of requests we handle most frequently.
Discontinued molded case, power, and air circuit breakers across all major manufacturers, including legacy brands no longer in production.
Obsolete and discontinued motor control center buckets, starter units, and MCC replacement components across major manufacturers.
Legacy and discontinued switchgear sections, switchboard components, and power distribution parts that aren't available through standard channels.
Discontinued variable frequency drives, drive components, and control equipment across multiple manufacturers and vintages.
Submit a part number or description and we do the legwork. Here's what happens from inquiry to quote.
Send us the part number, model number, manufacturer, and quantity. Attach photos, nameplate images, or datasheets if you have them. For hard-to-find items, more information helps us find the right match faster.
We check current physical surplus inventory, distribution channels, surplus dealer networks, and sourcing contacts. For oilfield or legacy items, we tap into specialized channels for those specific product lines.
We respond with availability, condition rating, pricing, and lead time. Condition is always stated clearly, new, surplus, reconditioned, or tested. Photos, nameplate data, and documentation are provided when available.
Review the quote, confirm condition details, and approve to proceed. We confirm the order and fulfill. For urgent requirements, we work to move as fast as the supply situation allows.
Standard industrial electrical distributors are built for current-production, in-stock product lines. They're not built to locate equipment that was discontinued years ago or to hold surplus inventory across thousands of obsolete part numbers. When you need something outside their catalog, their only answer is "discontinued" or a long lead time on a special order that may never materialize.
That's the gap Edmundson Industrial fills. Our sourcing capability is specifically built for the equipment that standard channels can't touch, legacy, discontinued, and hard-to-find industrial electrical parts across all major manufacturers and product lines.
We're built for what standard channels aren't equipped to handle. Here's what we bring to a sourcing request:
The more detail you include with your sourcing request, the faster and more accurately we can locate what you need. Here's what matters most for each type of request.
The single most useful piece of information. Full part number, model number, or catalog number including any suffixes. If you have multiple variants (voltage, frame size, trip rating), include all of them.
For equipment already installed, a clear photo of the nameplate is often the fastest path. It captures the manufacturer, model, ratings, and catalog information in one image, especially useful for legacy equipment where part numbers are hard to decode.
Tell us the manufacturer even if you think it's obvious. For legacy brands, tell us the era if known, Westinghouse from the 1970s vs. the 1990s can be different equipment entirely, and that matters when we're checking supply channels.
If new-only matters for your application, say so. If surplus or reconditioned is acceptable, that opens up significantly more sourcing paths and often faster lead times. And if this is an urgent downtime situation, tell us that clearly at the top of your request.
Use the RFQ form or email part numbers directly. Include as much detail as possible, part numbers, photos, nameplate data, quantity, and urgency. We respond to all requests as quickly as possible.
Every sourced item we quote is described accurately. We don't overstate condition, and we provide documentation when it's available. Here's what each designation means.
New-in-box or new-in-package equipment that has never been installed or energized. May be current production or surplus new-old-stock (NOS) from excess inventory. Manufacturer packaging and documentation may or may not be present, we'll specify.
Previously installed equipment that has been cleaned, inspected, serviced, and tested to verify proper operation. Condition report and test documentation are provided when available. Reconditioned equipment from reputable sources is a legitimate and cost-effective option for many applications.
Equipment removed from service or excess inventory. Condition varies by item, we inspect and describe each item's condition, including any visible wear, markings, or issues. Photos are provided. We don't sell equipment we wouldn't quote to ourselves.
