About Surplus UK
Surplus UK helps UK businesses pass on surplus cable, with a record of what it is and the condition it is in.
Surplus UK is published by Cargovate LLC, part of the Vexidus Corporation group. Cargovate builds software that keeps one record of what changed hands, when and in what condition, for forwarders, shippers and operators.
Surplus UK started with cable because it is easy to describe exactly: the sheath carries its own specification, approvals can be looked up, and length can be measured. The guides explain how to describe a surplus drum, how to check one before buying, and how to send a listing or a request.
Cargovate introduces businesses to each other. It does not buy, hold, sell or inspect cable and is not a party to any sale. The guides are general information, not electrical, safety or legal advice; each page links to the body whose guidance applies. Facts on these pages were checked on the date shown at the foot of each page.
