Sell a Mining 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
The Mining sector's reliability culture means units are replaced before they fail, and the replaced units still work. A buyer who says yes to everything is not a buyer; the useful answer explains what would have to be true for the number to rise.
| What they hold | mine-duty skid units, portable substations and heavy distribution transformers |
|---|---|
| What triggers a sale | a pit closing, a new face opening or a crushing plant moving |
| Duty on the unit | shock load with trailing cables and constant relocation |
| Buying note | Mine-duty units are built to be dragged, and they look it, which is not the same as being worn out. |

No broker fees
You are dealing with the buyer, so nothing is shaved off the offer.
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 mining
Mining operations retire transformers when a line changes, and the retirement is usually planned months ahead. A site manager who has already cleared the pad has done most of the work that matters.
A transformer that has been idle for two years may still be perfect, and the test sheet is how you find out. The paperwork at the end is short, and it is the part that keeps everybody out of trouble.
When units come out of service
A seller who knows what the unit is saves everybody an hour, and the hour is often the difference. A unit with a clean surround has usually been maintained by somebody who cared, and that shows in the oil.
A buyer who has seen the site will always beat a buyer who has only seen a form, which is why the visit is free. A seller who sends four photographs at the start usually gets a decision the same day.
What we look for
A transformer that has been re-gasketed and re-painted is not automatically a good unit, and sometimes the paint is hiding a leak that was never fixed. A short list of photographs covers the cabinet, the tag, the bushings and the access, and nothing else is needed at the start.
A mine-duty unit is designed to be dragged, and it looks it, which is not the same as being worn out. A site that has been photographed properly can be quoted without a visit, and the visit is only a confirmation.
How a mining pickup runs
Ground bearing is the question a crane operator asks first and the site answers last. A hilly county makes every lift a rigging problem, and the crane budget grows with the gradient.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you buy transformers from mining sites?
We send remittance the same day and we match the seller's invoicing requirements, whether that is a purchase order or a signed bill of sale. A Mining facility typically has a service transformer, one or two process units and a spare that was never connected. The market for used transformers is smaller than the market for new ones, and it rewards honest descriptions.
Service area
What paperwork does a mining seller need?
The paperwork is between your company and ours, and it does not travel. A bill of sale, a lien release if there is a lender, and a serial number that matches the tag are the three documents that matter. A buyer who quotes without asking anything has quoted for a different transformer.
Payment
How quickly can you clear a mining unit?
If a unit sits just over a state line, the honest answer is that somebody closer should buy it. If the building changes hands at the end of the month, say so at the start and the schedule gets built backwards from that date. A partial assembly is bought on the assumption that something is missing, because it usually is.
