What We Stock
Why Buy Used VFDs?
Drive failures stop production, and replacement lead times on popular VFDs have stretched to months in recent years. A surplus drive in the same frame and rating ships immediately — often the difference between a weekend repair and weeks of downtime.
We stock current families like PowerFlex 525/753/755 and ABB ACS580 alongside discontinued lines (PowerFlex 70/700, ACS550, legacy Yaskawa) that OEMs no longer sell, sourced from panel teardowns and plant closures.
- Immediate availability versus months-long factory lead times
- Lower cost than new drives
- Discontinued drive families still in stock
- Discontinued drive families for legacy matches

Frequently Asked Questions About Used VFDs
Common questions about buying used drives and soft starters
How do I size a replacement VFD?
Match the motor's full-load amps, voltage, and HP, plus the duty rating (normal vs heavy duty). The simplest path is sending us the catalog number from your failed drive's label — we'll supply the same model or confirm a compatible substitute, including newer-generation equivalents for discontinued drives.
How much do used PowerFlex drives cost?
Typical asking prices on the used market (October 2026): small PowerFlex 525 drives (under 10 HP) about $300–$800; PowerFlex 753/755 drives in the 25–100 HP range about $1,500–$6,000. Discontinued PowerFlex 70/700 units for legacy matches usually run $400–$2,500 by rating.
My drive is obsolete — what are my options?
Two paths: an identical used unit (drop-in, no reprogramming, no rewiring) or a current-generation replacement with parameter conversion. We stock discontinued PowerFlex, ACS500-series, and legacy Yaskawa drives for drop-in swaps, and can advise on migration kits when you'd rather modernize.
Do you buy surplus drives and drive panels?
Yes — we purchase spare drive inventories, enclosed drive panels, and MCC sections with drives from upgrades and closures. Send catalog numbers and photos and we respond right away, and we arrange freight for larger lots.
Have Surplus Drives to Sell?
We buy VFDs, soft starters, and complete drive panels — single spares to full MCC lineups from plant upgrades and closures.
