Texas Salvage and Surplus Buyers

Texas Salvage and Surplus Buyers is a Houston, Texas company that buys used and salvage heavy equipment, moves machinery, and carries out demolition and scrap metal recovery. The site lists divisions covering oilfield salvage, marine salvage, industrial and commercial demolition, land clearing, trucking, crane rental and rigging, heavy equipment salvage, and auto and semi truck salvage. The company states that both small and large jobs are taken.

Heavy equipment buying and salvage

Machines are bought in running or non-running condition, including wrecked, broken down and dismantled units, with model years listed from 1930 to 2024. Equipment can be cut up on site or hauled away as is, and the company also buys large scrap metal salvage and sells machines it has acquired. Owners are asked to send photographs and machine details so an offer can be made on the equipment.

Machine types named on the site include:

• Bulldozers
• Excavators
• Backhoes and skid steers
• Cranes
• Front end loaders
• Forklifts
• Graders and rollers
• Combines

Equipment moving and trucking

The equipment moving division hauls heavy equipment, machinery and freight within Texas, with loads listed from 2,000 to 80,000 pounds. Loading is handled by the company using its own forklifts and cranes, so a customer does not have to arrange separate loading. Alongside construction and industrial machinery, the division moves machine shop equipment including CNC machines, lathes, presses and printers.

Trailers listed on standby:

• Lowboy trailers
• Tilt bed trailers
• Drop decks
• Flat beds

Crane rental and rigging

The Crane Division rents cranes with riggers who plan, secure and execute lifts rather than only delivering the machine, and the company describes its riggers as certified. Its fleet is described as covering routine picks through to major construction work, and it states that an 80 ton crane is available for jobs needing substantial lifting power. Crane and trucking work can be combined so that lifting a component and transporting it come from a single provider. The company describes itself as a heavy lift specialist taking on complex lifts.

Mobile heavy equipment repair

A mobile mechanic division runs service trucks for heavy equipment and semi truck and trailer repair, covering diesel, hydraulic and electrical faults. Machines worked on include bulldozers, cranes, excavators and front end loaders. The company states that it takes emergency calls 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Local coverage is listed across Harris County and surrounding communities such as Baytown, Pasadena, Pearland, Katy, Humble, Conroe, League City, Galveston, Brazoria, Richmond and The Woodlands, extending into Fort Bend, Montgomery, Chambers, Liberty and Matagorda counties.
