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.
Hocking County
Logan and the system behind it
AEP Ohio serves Logan and the surrounding Hocking County ground, which is why a municipal seller and a plant seller there often need the same paperwork. A unit parked at the extreme tap has been fighting a voltage problem for years, which tells you something.
A unit with a welded cover cannot be inspected without cutting, which changes how it is bought. An off-load tap link is simple, reliable and frequently seized after a decade outdoors.
The industrial base that holds the transformers
A decision made on a photograph is reversible; a decision made after the truck arrives is not. A unit that has been disconnected for a year is not the same proposition as one that came out last week.
A short conversation at the start saves an argument at the gate, and the argument is the expensive part. A seller who has the serial number to hand moves through the first call in half the time.
Logan sits in the Hocking Hills, where the terrain makes a crane setup harder than the unit itself, and the plants there are small and old.
Rail, road and the last hundred feet
The port side of the state matters for imported units, and Logan is far enough inland that most of what we buy there arrived by road in the first place. Freight is quoted on weight and dimensions, and both come from the tag rather than from an estimate.
A unit in a fenced compound needs the gate opened by somebody with a key, and that somebody is rarely there at seven. A river terminal changes the arithmetic on a very large unit, because barge transport avoids the bridges.
What we look for in Logan
A demolition pickup is fast, dirty and often the most profitable, because the alternative is a unit in a rubble pile. The paperwork at the end is short, and it is the part that keeps everybody out of trouble.
A buyer who quotes without asking anything has quoted for a different transformer. A purchase is a handover of risk as much as a handover of metal.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you buy transformers in Logan?
The difference shows up when a deadline is tight: a buyer can move on a Thursday, a broker usually cannot. Every county in the state is covered, from the lake shore to the river, and Logan sits inside the regular loop. A tank that has been repainted recently deserves a closer look than one that has not.
Service area
Which utility serves Logan, and does that matter?
The last thing we need is a contact on site who can open a gate, and that is often the hardest thing to arrange. Knowing which side of the meter a unit sits on decides who can actually sell it, and that is the first question we ask in Logan. A relocation leaves behind exactly the units that were built into the building, which is why they become surplus.
Payment
How do you get a heavy unit out of Logan?
A buyer reads the tag, checks whatever oil history exists, and says what the unit is worth as it stands rather than what it might be worth rebuilt. Downtown Logan is harder than the industrial edge, and a unit in a basement there is a rigging project rather than a haul. A seller with a deadline should say so early, because the schedule is built around the date rather than the unit.
