President of American Surplus Inc., Bill DiMaio Jr., began his career in sales back in 1985.  As he rapidly excelled in the industry, Bill decided to take on an even larger endeavor: to start his own company. With hard work and determination, Bill DiMaio Jr. and his supportive wife, Claire DiMaio, became the only husband and wife team in the used material handling industry. Claire took charge of the accounting department and human resources with the help of their son, Bill DiMaio III. American Surplus Inc. is a family business, and when you work with family, you are treated like family.

This is Rossco, our mascot! Don't forget to say hello to him when you visit!

Our warehouse features two high bay areas that utilize the maximum square feet allowed. We effectively use the products we sell to store our own inventory. If you are in the area, don't hesitate to stop by for a tour!

American Surplus has its own fabrication shop which gives us & our customers flexiblity on projects, no matter how big or small the job is.

All of our inventory is stored indoors, so weather damage is not a concern when buying used equipment from us.
