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.

Pickerington and the system behind it
The AEP Ohio system around Pickerington is a mix of older distribution and rebuilt feeders, and the age of a unit usually tracks the age of the circuit it sat on. An autotransformer has no galvanic separation, which is the whole reason plants avoid it for isolation.
A furnace or kiln unit runs hot for days and then cools, which is harder on insulation than a steady load. Three-phase padmounts are the most common commercial unit in Ohio and the easiest to place with a buyer.
The industrial base that holds the transformers
Paint is a cosmetic question, and seam rust is a structural one, and the two are often confused. The best outcome is a unit that leaves the site and turns up somewhere useful, and that happens more often than people expect.
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 unit substation is convenient in service and awkward to move, because the sections are bolted together.
Pickerington's growth has been commercial, so the transformer stock there is recent, small and mostly behind a strip centre rather than a plant.
Rail, road and the last hundred feet
Pickerington sits close enough to I-70 and SR-256 that a heavy haul does not need a long escort, which keeps the logistics simple. A mobile substation without its protection package is a transformer on a trailer, and it is priced accordingly.
A schedule that assumes the gate is open will discover otherwise at seven in the morning. A trailer needs somewhere to stand, and the place it stands is rarely the place the site had in mind.
What we look for in Pickerington
A transformer that has been idle for two years may still be perfect, and the test sheet is how you find out. 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 buyer who cannot say where the unit will go is a broker, and brokers add a day and a deduction. A decision made on a photograph is reversible; a decision made after the truck arrives is not.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you buy transformers in Pickerington?
You will not be handed to a call centre. The person who answers the phone is the person who decides whether we buy. One desk, one state, one set of hauling relationships, which is why a Pickerington pickup does not need a national carrier. Most of what a buyer needs to know is stamped on a plate the size of a postcard.
Service area
Which utility serves Pickerington, and does that matter?
If there is a bill of sale, a lien release or an asset tag, photograph that too, because paperwork is part of the condition. If the unit sits behind a AEP Ohio meter, the utility owns the transformer on the pole and the customer owns what is inside the fence. A cabinet that has been opened recently has probably been looked at by somebody who knew why.
Payment
How do you get a heavy unit out of Pickerington?
The difference shows up when a deadline is tight: a buyer can move on a Thursday, a broker usually cannot. Access in Pickerington is rarely the problem; the problem is the overhead primary that runs directly over the pad. A seller should be able to tell, from one phone call, whether the buyer has done this before.
