What we buy
What we buy here
The step from 750 kVA to the next size up changes the trailer more than it changes the paperwork. We weigh when a number sits close to a permit threshold, because guessing on a bridge is not a strategy.
| Wet weight | about 5,500 pounds |
|---|---|
| Typical use | a plant process load or a campus distribution point |
| Common form | three-phase padmount or substation |
| Why sellers call | Seven hundred fifty kVA units are heavy enough that a crane is standard and a permit may be needed. |

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.
Rating
What a 750 kVA transformer is used for
The 750 kVA class covers padmounts, dry-types and pole units, and the form decides where the unit can go. A reactor looks like a transformer and behaves like an inductor, which confuses sellers who read the kVA.
A locomotive transformer rarely travels far, which makes it a specialised purchase rather than a general one. A three-phase unit with one damaged winding is still a three-phase unit, and the repair is priced accordingly.
Size, weight and handling
A schedule that assumes the gate is open will discover otherwise at seven in the morning. A driveway that slopes towards the building will not take a loaded trailer in the rain.
A lift over a fence needs a crane with reach, and reach costs more than capacity. A lift that starts level ends level, and a lift that starts crooked rarely does.
What we check on a 750 kVA unit
We grade on the core, the coil, the tank and the bushings rather than on cosmetics, because a faded cabinet with a clean core beats a painted one with a wet tank. Nobody has ever regretted testing the oil before agreeing a number, and plenty of people have regretted skipping it.
A unit that smells of solvent has probably been cleaned rather than maintained. Oil finds the drain nobody mentioned, and it usually finds it within the first ten minutes.
What it is worth
An offer that states what it assumes is easier to accept than one that does not, because both sides know where they stand. A common rating in poor condition sells faster than a rare one in good condition.
A unit with new bushings has usually had money spent on it, and that spending is visible. A failed unit sold as a rebuild candidate is worth more than the same unit sold as scrap, and the difference is the core.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
How much does a 750 kVA transformer weigh?
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 unit with the oil drained ships lighter and leaks less, but draining adds a day and a drum. Paint is a cosmetic question, and seam rust is a structural one, and the two are often confused.
Service area
Do you buy a single 750 kVA unit?
Demolition schedules, lease expirations and closing dates all work the same way here: give us the date and we work to it. 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 transformer with its original documentation is easier to insure, easier to resell and easier to explain.
Payment
What if the 750 kVA unit has failed?
Once access is confirmed, the offer stops being conditional and starts being a pickup date. We tell a seller when a three-phase padmount is a teardown, because pretending otherwise wastes everybody's week. A purchase that finishes in a week is normal, and one that finishes in a day is a favour returned.
