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

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.
Franklin County
Dublin and the system behind it
Where Dublin has its own municipal system, the utility transformer and the customer transformer are two assets with two different owners and two different files. A unit with a missing ground pad has probably been moved without a plan at some point.
A unit with a bolted cover and a gasket that has gone hard will leak at the first temperature swing. A transformer with an unusual secondary is usually matched to one process, and that process is the market.
The industrial base that holds the transformers
Most of what a buyer needs to know is stamped on a plate the size of a postcard. Every county in Ohio has a different mix of utility ownership, and that mix decides who signs what.
A unit in a building that is coming down is a different problem from a unit in a plant that is staying. A municipal utility keeps records that an investor-owned utility rarely matches, which helps at resale.
Dublin's office and data-centre campuses have put more large dry-type transformers into Franklin County than any industrial plant in the last decade.
Rail, road and the last hundred feet
The nearest rail for Dublin is the Ohio Central Railroad, and it is useful when a unit is too heavy for a legal road move. Freight is quoted on weight and dimensions, and both come from the tag rather than from an estimate.
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.
What we look for in Dublin
A buying desk earns its keep by answering quickly, because a seller with a unit in the way is not looking for a relationship. A seller who sends four photographs at the start usually gets a decision the same day.
A seller who mentions the deadline in the first sentence gets a schedule rather than a queue. A purchase that finishes in a week is normal, and one that finishes in a day is a favour returned.
Moving a unit out of Franklin 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 plant on a narrow river road is a scheduled event rather than an errand, and everybody involved knows it.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you buy transformers in Dublin?
With the tag and the access photographs, a working number becomes a firm number and the truck can be booked against it. If a unit sits just over a state line, the honest answer is that somebody closer should buy it. Details that seem trivial on the phone become decisive on the pad, which is why they are asked about early.
Service area
Which utility serves Dublin, and does that matter?
Site names, addresses and photographs stay in the file, and the file does not leave the desk. A AEP Ohio upgrade in Dublin is one of the most common reasons a perfectly serviceable transformer ends up surplus. 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 Dublin?
If the sale sits inside a confidential process, say so on the first call and the file is handled accordingly. We schedule Dublin pickups around the plant's shift change, because a loaded trailer and a shift change do not mix. A demolition pickup is fast, dirty and often the most profitable, because the alternative is a unit in a rubble pile.
