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
Clinton County at a glance
AES Ohio serves Clinton County and the surrounding Clinton County ground, which is why a municipal seller and a plant seller there often need the same paperwork. A county with a rail siding is easier to work than one without, because rail takes what road cannot.
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 seller with four units on one site gets a better number per unit than a seller with one.
What the county holds
A zig-zag unit does not supply load, which is the single most misunderstood fact about it. A transformer with an unusual secondary is usually matched to one process, and that process is the market.
A station service transformer is unglamorous, critical and usually much older than the station it serves. A locomotive transformer rarely travels far, which makes it a specialised purchase rather than a general one.
Clinton County's air park brought industrial load to a farm county, and the transformers installed for it are now at the age where oil testing matters.
Towns we cover inside Clinton County include Wilmington, and the buying loop reaches every one of them.
Logistics across Clinton County
Moving a unit out of Clinton County is a matter of getting a trailer close enough, and the industrial streets there usually allow it. A plant on a narrow river road is a scheduled event rather than an errand, and everybody involved knows it.
Dry-types in basements are a rigging problem before they are an electrical one, and the door is the constraint. A unit in a yard with a wide gate and a flat approach is worth more than the same unit behind a fence.
What we look for
The industry runs on relationships, but the first one starts with a nameplate photograph. Most of what a buyer needs to know is stamped on a plate the size of a postcard.
A relocation leaves behind exactly the units that were built into the building, which is why they become surplus. A transformer is heavy, oily, regulated and awkward, and every part of the process reflects that.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you cover all of Clinton 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. We do not buy in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Kentucky, Indiana or West Virginia, and we say so rather than waste a seller's week. The order of work is always the same: look, measure, test, agree, lift, pay.
Service area
What does the utility picture look like in Clinton County?
Our interest is in the core, the copper and the paperwork that proves the unit is yours to move, not in a commission. Where Clinton County has its own municipal system, the utility transformer and the customer transformer are two assets with two different owners and two different files. A unit described honestly sells faster than one described optimistically, because the second one gets renegotiated.
Payment
Can you reach a rural site in Clinton County?
Sellers inside a closure or a bankruptcy need discretion as much as speed, and both are available here. Alley access in an Ohio city is often tighter than the plant gate, so the crew plans for the tighter of the two. A transformer that is still bolted down belongs to the building until somebody unbolts it, and that is a decision.
