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.
County
Clark County at a glance
AEP Ohio serves Clark County and the surrounding Clark County ground, which is why a municipal seller and a plant seller there often need the same paperwork. Most of what a buyer needs to know is stamped on a plate the size of a postcard.
A transformer with its original documentation is easier to insure, easier to resell and easier to explain. A flat county with wide roads makes a heavy move routine, and the number reflects it.
What the county holds
Three-phase padmounts are the most common commercial unit in Ohio and the easiest to place with a buyer. A transformer with an unusual secondary is usually matched to one process, and that process is the market.
A delta secondary has no neutral, so a plant that needs 277 volts cannot use it without another transformer. A unit parked at the extreme tap has been fighting a voltage problem for years, which tells you something.
Clark County has some of the oldest three-phase services in Ohio still in daily use, and a good share of them have never had an oil test.
Towns we cover inside Clark County include Springfield, and the buying loop reaches every one of them.
Logistics across Clark County
Moving a unit out of Clark County is a matter of getting a trailer close enough, and the industrial streets there usually allow it. A schedule that assumes the gate is open will discover otherwise at seven in the morning.
A lift over a fence needs a crane with reach, and reach costs more than capacity. Ground that has been wet for a week will not hold an outrigger, whatever it looks like from the cab.
What we look for
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 mine-duty unit is designed to be dragged, and it looks it, which is not the same as being worn out.
A purchase is a handover of risk as much as a handover of metal. A unit that was replaced during an upgrade is almost always a better buy than one that failed on a Tuesday.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you cover all of Clark County?
A mixed lot takes longer than a single unit because every tag has to be read, but it still moves in days rather than months. Every county in the state is covered, from the lake shore to the river, and Clark County sits inside the regular loop. A seller should ask what happens to the unit after it leaves, because the answer says what kind of buyer they are dealing with.
Service area
What does the utility picture look like in Clark County?
The paperwork is between your company and ours, and it does not travel. Most of the transformers we pull out of Clark County were fed from a AEP Ohio substation, and the tag says so in the primary column. A buyer who turns up with a torch and a tape measure is not there to argue about the paint.
Payment
Can you reach a rural site in Clark County?
We are not a marketplace and we are not an auction, so there is one buyer in the conversation and it is us. If a trailer cannot get within reach, the unit gets moved twice, and the second move is the expensive one. A unit with a clean surround has usually been maintained by somebody who cared, and that shows in the oil.
