ASC Equipment Planning and Disposition

When an ambulatory surgery center builds, expands, or refreshes, existing equipment gets displaced — and that side of the plan is usually settled last. Surgical Liquidations handles it: identifying what will be surplus, issuing a written offer against it, and timing removal to your project dates so nothing goes into storage. Payment before removal, no cost to the center.

Deciding what happens to displaced equipment

Every build, expansion, or refresh displaces equipment, and the decision usually gets made under time pressure at the end.

The three outcomes are: it transfers to the new configuration, it stays as backup, or it becomes surplus. Making that call early — while the project is still being planned rather than during the move week — is what determines whether the surplus is sold in good condition or written off from storage two years later.

At a glance

  • Covers the disposition side of a build, expansion, or refresh.
  • Surplus identified and offered against before the project date, not after.
  • Removal timed to installation or move dates so storage is never used.
  • Written offer within one business day
  • Payment before removal — removal and transport at no cost.
  • Works alongside whatever planning and design team you already have.

Timing disposition to the project

Removal is scheduled against your installation or move dates. That means displaced units leave as new equipment comes online, rather than occupying storage in between or being transported to a new site where they will be surplus anyway.

Where the project is phased, disposition is phased with it so the center never loses operational capacity ahead of a changeover.

What this does and does not cover

This covers the equipment being displaced. It does not replace your architect, your planning team, or your equipment vendors. We work alongside whoever is handling the build — our part of the plan is the surplus: what it is, what we will pay for it, and when it leaves.

Why the surplus decision belongs in the plan.

01

Storage is the expensive default

Undecided equipment defaults to storage — the outcome nobody selected and the one that loses the most.

02

Decide while it is identifiable

At planning stage the surplus is visible from the equipment plan. Deciding during the move means acting under time pressure.

03

Sell before a relocation, not after

Equipment sold beforehand is never transported and never occupies space at the new site.

04

Service-line changes strand equipment

Adding or dropping a specialty leaves specialty-specific equipment with no use elsewhere in the center.

05

Payment before removal

Funds are confirmed before anything leaves the building, on every project.

06

No cost to the center

No fees or commissions, and removal and transport are at no cost.

Frequently asked questions.

No. We handle the disposition of equipment being displaced. Design and procurement stay with your existing team.
As early as the surplus is identifiable. Deciding late is what pushes equipment into storage.
Yes. Disposition is phased to your project so capacity is never lost ahead of a changeover.
Only what you designate as surplus. Anything held as backup stays out of scope — tell us and it is excluded.
No. There are no fees or commissions, and removal and transport are at no cost.
