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.

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

PCB paperwork

County
Clermont County at a glance
A Duke Energy Ohio upgrade in Clermont County is one of the most common reasons a perfectly serviceable transformer ends up surplus. The market for used transformers is smaller than the market for new ones, and it rewards honest descriptions.
A transformer that is still bolted down belongs to the building until somebody unbolts it, and that is a decision. A unit that has been disconnected for a year is not the same proposition as one that came out last week.
What the county holds
A furnace transformer is built for duty that would destroy a distribution unit within a year. Inrush trips breakers more often than faults do, and the fix is a setting rather than a new unit.
A reactor looks like a transformer and behaves like an inductor, which confuses sellers who read the kVA. An instrument transformer is small, fragile and expensive to replace, which makes packing it properly worth the trouble.
Clermont County's river towns and its inland industrial parks hold two different classes of equipment, and buyers usually see one or the other.
Logistics across Clermont County
We schedule Clermont County pickups around the plant's shift change, because a loaded trailer and a shift change do not mix. A second pair of eyes on the access route is worth more than a second opinion on the paint.
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.
What we look for
A buyer who arrives unprepared wastes the site's morning, which is remembered long after the unit is gone. 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.
The best outcome is a unit that leaves the site and turns up somewhere useful, and that happens more often than people expect. The unit is the easy part; the site, the access and the paperwork are where the time goes.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you cover all of Clermont County?
Send the tag, the cabinet, the bushings and the pad, and the answer usually arrives before the end of the working day. We buy in Ohio and only in Ohio, which is why a truck can be at a Clermont County gate the same week the number is agreed. The work is unglamorous and the equipment is heavy, which is why so few people do it properly.
Service area
What does the utility picture look like in Clermont County?
Answers come back the same day in most cases, and the truck is scheduled the moment the paperwork is signed. Duke Energy Ohio runs the circuits that feed most of Clermont County, so the primary voltage on a unit coming out of there is usually distribution class rather than transmission class. A unit that has been in service is a known quantity, and a unit that has been idle is a question.
Payment
Can you reach a rural site in Clermont County?
We work to your deadline rather than ours, which is why the first question is when the site has to be clear. We ask for the gate width, the turn radius, the overhead clearance and the distance from the pad to the pavement. A relocation leaves behind exactly the units that were built into the building, which is why they become surplus.
