Per HodgsonRuss:

Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code sets forth a statutory scheme for both creating and enforcing security interests in personal property. Pursuant to Article 9, a lender seeking to collateralize an advance on the personal property of its debtor may negotiate and memorialize its security interest in an agreement, perfect its position as a secured lender relative to other interests in the property, and enforce its security interest by repossessing and disposing of the property securing its loan if its debtor defaults on the loan.

An Article 9 sale is done outside of bankruptcy and is much more cost effective.
