- 01

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.

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.

Brunswick and the system behind it
The FirstEnergy feeder map explains most of the nameplates in Brunswick: distribution primary, low-side service voltage, and a size that matches the building behind it. An impedance figure that does not match the existing protection is a problem nobody notices until a fault.
A grounding transformer carries current only during a fault, so its continuous rating tells you very little. A generator step-up unit is designed around one generator, so its impedance is matched rather than generic.
The industrial base that holds the transformers
A county seat usually holds the courthouse, the hospital and the largest service transformers in the county. A quick decision is a kindness when the unit is standing in the way of a project.
A relocation leaves behind exactly the units that were built into the building, which is why they become surplus. A unit described honestly sells faster than one described optimistically, because the second one gets renegotiated.
Brunswick's industrial park sits close to I-71, which makes a heavy haul out of there simpler than the town's side streets suggest.
Rail, road and the last hundred feet
The road route out of Brunswick runs on I-71 and SR-303, and the bridge limits along it decide the trailer. Escorts are decided by dimensions rather than by weight, which surprises most sellers.
A unit in a fenced compound needs the gate opened by somebody with a key, and that somebody is rarely there at seven. A single-phase padmount is small enough for two people and heavy enough to hurt, so a liftgate is worth arranging.
What we look for in Brunswick
A buyer who cannot say where the unit will go is a broker, and brokers add a day and a deduction. A decommissioning is orderly, which makes it the easiest kind of large project to buy from.
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 buyer who explains the reasoning gets a second call, and the second call is where the good units are.
Moving a unit out of Medina County
Rigging a padmount out of a fenced yard is half a day, while rigging one out of a basement mechanical room is a different trade. A rigging plan written on the back of an envelope is the reason some lifts take two attempts.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you buy transformers in Brunswick?
One desk, one state, one set of hauling relationships, which is why a Brunswick pickup does not need a national carrier. Every county in the state is covered, from the lake shore to the river, and Brunswick sits inside the regular loop. A buyer who works the whole state can move a unit to whichever plant needs it, which is why the coverage matters.
Service area
Which utility serves Brunswick, and does that matter?
Sellers inside a closure or a bankruptcy need discretion as much as speed, and both are available here. Most of the transformers we pull out of Brunswick were fed from a FirstEnergy substation, and the tag says so in the primary column. Nothing about a transformer improves by waiting, and the oil in particular gets worse rather than better.
Payment
How do you get a heavy unit out of Brunswick?
Ohio only is not a limitation for us, it is why the logistics work: the crews, the cranes and the permits are all in-state. A Brunswick pickup usually means a crane on the street, a spotter and a route that avoids the school traffic. A mine-duty unit is designed to be dragged, and it looks it, which is not the same as being worn out.
