What we buy here
Where a Eaton unit has a known failure mode we say so before quoting, because it changes what the unit is worth. The offer arrives with the reasoning attached, so it can go to a board or a finance team without translation.

How it works
Six steps from your yard to the money
- 01
Take pictures
The nameplate, the cabinet interior and the tank in daylight. Three photographs are usually enough to place a unit in the right class and the right price band.
- 02
Send them to us
The form on this page, a text or an email all reach the same desk. Include the city, the access and any deadline the site is working to.
- 03
Review the offer
A buyer reads the photographs, asks one or two questions and sends a written offer with the assumptions stated, so nothing changes on the day.
- 04
We schedule freight
Crane, flatbed and permits are booked around your access. You get a date and a window, and we carry the cost of getting it right.
- 05
Testing on arrival
Winding resistance, megger and turns ratio, plus oil analysis where the unit is liquid filled. The results decide the final number, and you see them.
- 06
Get paid
Payment is released on the agreed terms once the unit is received and tested, by check or ACH. No retention, no sixty-day terms.
What we handle for you
The parts sellers dread, done for you
Rigging
Crane and forklift arranged around your access, not the other way round.
Oil containment
Bunds, absorbent and disposal handled before the unit moves.
Bill of sale
A clean title document for your records, signed on collection.
PCB paperwork
Pre-1979 units get the testing and the manifest they need.
Brand
Eaton transformers in Ohio
Eaton is one of the names that turns up most often on Ohio nameplates, from distribution cans to substation units. A buyer who works the whole state can move a unit to whichever plant needs it, which is why the coverage matters.
A desk that buys for its own account answers with a figure rather than a promise to find one. A hot mechanical room quietly derates everything in it, and nobody notices until a unit fails early.
What we look for on a Eaton unit
A unit that is documented is easier to move than one that is not, in every sense of the word. A purchase is a handover of risk as much as a handover of metal.
A relocation leaves behind exactly the units that were built into the building, which is why they become surplus. Details that seem trivial on the phone become decisive on the pad, which is why they are asked about early.
Where the value sits
The common Eaton padmounts are the ones that show up in subdivisions and industrial parks, and they are the easiest to move. A leaking unit is bought on the assumption that the tank needs work, and the offer says so in writing.
A spare bought for a plant that has since been reconfigured is the cleanest unit in the used market. A cancelled project leaves new equipment in crates with no destination, which is the best condition a buyer will ever see.
Paperwork, insurance and the crew
A bill of sale that names the serial is worth ten that describe a transformer in general terms. A storage record with a date on it is worth more than a memory of when the unit came out.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you buy older Eaton transformers?
A mixed lot takes longer than a single unit because every tag has to be read, but it still moves in days rather than months. When the answer is no, it is usually about the core, the oil or the access, and we name which one. A seller who sends four photographs at the start usually gets a decision the same day.
Service area
What if the Eaton nameplate is missing?
What you send stays with the buying desk, and we do not publish your plant, your nameplate or your deadline anywhere. Impedance is the figure most sellers ignore and most buyers ask for second, because it decides how the unit behaves on a fault. A mine-duty unit is designed to be dragged, and it looks it, which is not the same as being worn out.
Payment
Can you pick up a Eaton unit this week?
There is no pressure to accept on the call; the number holds for a set period and you can test it against another buyer. Most units leave within a week of the number being agreed, and a unit that has to clear a site by Friday can usually be gone by Friday. A cabinet that has been opened recently has probably been looked at by somebody who knew why.
