What we buy
What we buy here
Olsun dry-type units turn up in hospitals and schools, usually in a mechanical room with a door that was not built for them. We would rather lose a unit than quote a figure we cannot honour once the cabinet is open.
| Common vintages | the 1980s and 1990s |
|---|---|
| What they built | Olsun built dry-types, isolation transformers and specialty units for industrial and marine customers. |
| Where we see them | Ohio plants, utilities and yards |
| Buying note | Olsun specialty units are often one-off builds, so the drawing package is worth as much as the hardware. |

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
Olsun transformers in Ohio
The Olsun name tells a buyer something about the design, the bushings and the parts that can still be found. A county with a rail siding is easier to work than one without, because rail takes what road cannot.
The best outcome is a unit that leaves the site and turns up somewhere useful, and that happens more often than people expect. A unit that has been disconnected for a year is not the same proposition as one that came out last week.
What we look for on a Olsun unit
A seller should keep the photographs after the sale, because the next buyer will ask for the same ones. A number is only as good as the description behind it, which is why the questions are short and specific.
An insurance salvage is bought on the adjuster's valuation rather than the seller's hope, which keeps the process honest. A unit in a building that is coming down is a different problem from a unit in a plant that is staying.
Where the value sits
The common Olsun padmounts are the ones that show up in subdivisions and industrial parks, and they are the easiest to move. A unit with documentation is worth more to a plant that has to satisfy an auditor, and that market is real.
A unit with new bushings has usually had money spent on it, and that spending is visible. A test that costs less than a tank of fuel can change a five-figure decision, which is the whole argument for doing it.
Paperwork, insurance and the crew
A leased unit is sold by the lessor, and the tenant cannot sell what the tenant does not own. A bill of sale fixes the moment risk transfers, and that moment should be when the unit leaves the pad.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you buy older Olsun transformers?
If there is a bill of sale, a lien release or an asset tag, photograph that too, because paperwork is part of the condition. Some units we pass on, and we say why: a burnt core, a missing coil or a contaminated oil sample changes the answer. Paint is a cosmetic question, and seam rust is a structural one, and the two are often confused.
Service area
What if the Olsun nameplate is missing?
Sellers inside a closure or a bankruptcy need discretion as much as speed, and both are available here. The nameplate carries the kVA, the primary and secondary voltages, the impedance, the temperature rise, the cooling class and the weight, and every one of them moves the number. A decision made on a photograph is reversible; a decision made after the truck arrives is not.
Payment
Can you pick up a Olsun unit this week?
We do not photograph a site for publication and we do not name a seller in anything we write. 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. A buyer who cannot say where the unit will go is a broker, and brokers add a day and a deduction.
