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.
Darke County
Greenville and the system behind it
AES Ohio serves Greenville and the surrounding Darke County ground, which is why a municipal seller and a plant seller there often need the same paperwork. A transformer with an unusual secondary is usually matched to one process, and that process is the market.
A transformer energized on a light load first gives the unit a chance to settle and the protection a chance to hold. A furnace or kiln unit runs hot for days and then cools, which is harder on insulation than a steady load.
The industrial base that holds the transformers
A purchase is a handover of risk as much as a handover of metal. A buyer who explains the reasoning gets a second call, and the second call is where the good units are.
The unit will outlast the building it serves, which is why so many of them change hands. The industry runs on relationships, but the first one starts with a nameplate photograph.
Greenville's agricultural equipment suppliers hold a lot of 750 to 2,000 kVA padmounts, and those are the sizes most in demand across the state line.
Rail, road and the last hundred feet
The road route out of Greenville runs on US-127 and SR-49, and the bridge limits along it decide the trailer. A trailer that cannot turn around will reverse out, and reversing out takes an hour.
A crew that has worked the county before knows which road floods and which bridge is closed for repair. A network unit comes out through a hatch, and the hatch decides the crane, the rigging and the day.
What we look for in Greenville
A transformer that is still bolted down belongs to the building until somebody unbolts it, and that is a decision. A transformer that has been idle for two years may still be perfect, and the test sheet is how you find out.
The order of work is always the same: look, measure, test, agree, lift, pay. 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.
Moving a unit out of Darke County
Ground bearing capacity decides whether a crane sets up on the pad or has to work from the road. A pad cleared and swept afterwards is the difference between a buyer who is called again and one who is not.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you buy transformers in Greenville?
We turn down units that cannot be moved safely, and we say so before anybody spends money on a crane. If a unit sits just over a state line, the honest answer is that somebody closer should buy it. A transformer with its original documentation is easier to insure, easier to resell and easier to explain.
Service area
Which utility serves Greenville, and does that matter?
What you send stays with the buying desk, and we do not publish your plant, your nameplate or your deadline anywhere. If the unit sits behind a AES Ohio meter, the utility owns the transformer on the pole and the customer owns what is inside the fence. A unit that has been in service is a known quantity, and a unit that has been idle is a question.
Payment
How do you get a heavy unit out of Greenville?
If there is a bill of sale, a lien release or an asset tag, photograph that too, because paperwork is part of the condition. The drive from Greenville to our yard is a day's work, which makes a two-unit pickup more efficient than two single trips. Remanufacturing keeps the footprint, and the footprint is often the reason the unit cannot simply be replaced.
