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.

Westerville and the system behind it
The AEP Ohio system around Westerville 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. A bushing replaced with the wrong length changes the clearance, which is a safety matter rather than a cosmetic one.
A dry-type in a damp room fails from the room rather than from the load. A storm leaves a range that runs from cosmetic damage to a burnt core, and testing is what separates them.
The industrial base that holds the transformers
A river terminal changes the arithmetic on a very large unit, because barge transport avoids the bridges. A site manager who has already cleared the pad has done most of the work that matters.
A short drive within one county costs less than a long drive across three, and the number shows it. A buyer who quotes without asking anything has quoted for a different transformer.
Westerville's medical and office buildings use dry-type units in electrical rooms, and the access question is a doorway rather than a driveway.
Rail, road and the last hundred feet
The road route out of Westerville runs on I-270 and SR-3, and the bridge limits along it decide the trailer. The buyer who arrives with a tape measure and a torch is the buyer who will not reduce the number at the gate.
A single-phase padmount is small enough for two people and heavy enough to hurt, so a liftgate is worth arranging. Freight is quoted on weight and dimensions, and both come from the tag rather than from an estimate.
What we look for in Westerville
A seller should ask what happens to the unit after it leaves, because the answer says what kind of buyer they are dealing with. A site that has been photographed properly can be quoted without a visit, and the visit is only a confirmation.
A unit in a building that is coming down is a different problem from a unit in a plant that is staying. A buyer who arrives unprepared wastes the site's morning, which is remembered long after the unit is gone.
Moving a unit out of Franklin County
A crane, a telehandler or a gantry all work; what matters is the reach, the headroom and the ground the machine stands on. Dry-types in basements are a rigging problem before they are an electrical one, and the door is the constraint.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you buy transformers in Westerville?
Sellers who send all four photographs in the first message usually have a number the same morning. One desk, one state, one set of hauling relationships, which is why a Westerville pickup does not need a national carrier. The unit will outlast the building it serves, which is why so many of them change hands.
Service area
Which utility serves Westerville, and does that matter?
We do not list your unit anywhere, we do not need another buyer to appear, and we do not ask you to hold it while we look. Supply into Westerville comes off AEP Ohio lines, so a unit being retired there is almost always a distribution-class primary with a 480 or 208-volt secondary. A short list of photographs covers the cabinet, the tag, the bushings and the access, and nothing else is needed at the start.
Payment
How do you get a heavy unit out of Westerville?
The paperwork is between your company and ours, and it does not travel. Most Westerville sites have a gate wide enough for a step deck, and the ones that do not get a smaller trailer. A partial assembly is bought on the assumption that something is missing, because it usually is.
