Sell a Landfill Gas Transformer in Ohio
Transformers from this sector bought across Ohio, as they stand, on the site's own schedule.
What we buy
What we buy here
Expansion in Landfill Gas often means a larger transformer arrives and a smaller one becomes nobody's responsibility. When the answer is no, it is usually about the core, the oil or the access, and we name which one.
| What they hold | generator step-up units and collection-system transformers |
|---|---|
| What triggers a sale | a gas field expansion, a generator overhaul or a contract change |
| Duty on the unit | steady generation with very corrosive atmosphere |
| Buying note | Landfill units corrode faster than almost anything else in Ohio, and the cabinets show it first. |

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.
Industry
Transformer stock in landfill gas
The Landfill Gas sector in Ohio runs transformers hard, and the units that come out of it are usually well documented. A tank that has been repainted recently deserves a closer look than one that has not.
A quick decision is a kindness when the unit is standing in the way of a project. A short conversation at the start saves an argument at the gate, and the argument is the expensive part.
When units come out of service
A closure sets its own date, and the date does not move for anybody's schedule. A single-trip permit takes a few working days, and a superload takes longer than most projects allow.
A transformer that is still connected belongs to the plant's electrician until it is isolated, and that is the first call. A transformer that has been idle for two years may still be perfect, and the test sheet is how you find out.
What we look for
Dents in a radiator bank matter more than dents in a door, because a crushed fin is a cooling problem that only shows up under load. A transformer that is still bolted down belongs to the building until somebody unbolts it, and that is a decision.
The paperwork at the end is short, and it is the part that keeps everybody out of trouble. A hot mechanical room quietly derates everything in it, and nobody notices until a unit fails early.
How a landfill gas pickup runs
A vault removal needs ventilation, a rigging plan and a street that can be closed for an afternoon. A single-phase padmount is small enough for two people and heavy enough to hurt, so a liftgate is worth arranging.
A lift over a fence needs a crane with reach, and reach costs more than capacity. Escorts are decided by dimensions rather than by weight, which surprises most sellers.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you buy transformers from landfill gas sites?
We would rather lose a unit than quote a figure we cannot honour once the cabinet is open. Landfill Gas sites hold transformers the way other sites hold forklifts: several, in different sizes, with at least one spare. A desk that buys for its own account answers with a figure rather than a promise to find one.
Service area
What paperwork does a landfill gas seller need?
Sellers who send all four photographs in the first message usually have a number the same morning. We keep the file for seven years, which matters when an auditor asks where a capital asset went. An insurance salvage is bought on the adjuster's valuation rather than the seller's hope, which keeps the process honest.
Payment
How quickly can you clear a landfill gas unit?
The figure we agree is the figure that lands, because rigging and freight are ours to carry, not yours to absorb. A single padmount is a half-day job once access is confirmed; a substation unit is a week of planning and a permit. A buck-boost unit is almost always misapplied rather than worn out, and the diagram inside the cover explains why.
