Who We Are
ARB Surplus was created to give arborists, forestry professionals, landscapers, and outdoor workers access to quality equipment at exceptional prices. We specialise in surplus, clearance, discontinued, and shop-soiled products from trusted industry brands, helping customers save money without compromising on performance.
Our range includes everything from climbing equipment and chainsaw PPE to workwear, tools, ropes, and accessories. By sourcing products that are no longer part of a manufacturer's current range or have been left sitting on shelves, we help ensure perfectly usable equipment finds a new home rather than going to waste.
Why ARB Surplus Exists
Every year, manufacturers introduce new products, update existing ranges, and discontinue older lines. As a result, perfectly good equipment can be left sitting on shelves despite remaining fully functional and ready for use.
ARB Surplus was created to give these products a second chance. By sourcing surplus, discontinued, clearance, and shop-soiled stock from trusted brands, we help connect arborists, forestry professionals, landscapers, and outdoor workers with quality equipment at exceptional prices.
This approach not only helps customers save money, but also reduces unnecessary waste by ensuring usable products continue to provide value long after they have disappeared from mainstream retail channels.
Backed by Decades of Industry Experience
ARB Surplus is backed by Fletcher Stewart, a family-run business established in 1967 with more than 59 years of experience supplying specialist equipment to the forestry, arboriculture, and work at height industries. Over the decades, Fletcher Stewart has built strong relationships with manufacturers, distributors, and retailers across the UK and beyond.
That heritage gives ARB Surplus unique access to surplus, discontinued, end-of-line, and shop-soiled products from trusted industry brands. By combining decades of market knowledge with a commitment to delivering genuine value, ARB Surplus helps ensure quality equipment continues to be used rather than left sitting on shelves or going to waste.
Today, ARB Surplus continues that tradition by connecting professionals with great products at exceptional prices, supported by the expertise and industry connections developed over nearly six decades.

Sustainability Through Reuse
At ARB Surplus, we believe quality equipment should be used, not wasted. Every year, surplus, discontinued, and shop-soiled products are left sitting in warehouses or on shelves despite remaining perfectly usable. By helping these products find a new home, we support a more sustainable approach to the arborist, forestry, and outdoor equipment industries.
Choosing surplus stock not only helps reduce waste, but also extends the life of quality products that still have plenty to offer. It's a practical way to save money while making better use of existing resources.
Have Surplus Stock to Sell?
ARB Surplus works with manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and industry suppliers looking to clear excess, discontinued, end-of-line, or slow-moving stock. If you have quality products taking up valuable warehouse space, we may be able to help.
Our goal is simple: connect surplus products with customers who will use them. By giving excess stock a new route to market, businesses can recover value while reducing waste and freeing up space for new product lines.
Whether you have a small quantity of surplus items or larger volumes of stock, we'd be happy to discuss the options available.
