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.

County
Geauga County at a glance
Most of the transformers we pull out of Geauga County were fed from a FirstEnergy substation, and the tag says so in the primary column. A buyer who explains the reasoning gets a second call, and the second call is where the good units are.
A short conversation at the start saves an argument at the gate, and the argument is the expensive part. The best outcome is a unit that leaves the site and turns up somewhere useful, and that happens more often than people expect.
What the county holds
Three-phase padmounts are the most common commercial unit in Ohio and the easiest to place with a buyer. An autotransformer has no galvanic separation, which is the whole reason plants avoid it for isolation.
Pole units are the cheapest transformers in any surplus list and the easiest to move, which makes them a good first purchase. A unit with a missing ground pad has probably been moved without a plan at some point.
Geauga County's clay ground is hard on crane setup, and the units there are mostly small plants and farm services rather than heavy industry.
Logistics across Geauga County
The tight spots in Geauga County are the older plant sites, where the pad was poured before anybody thought about a forty-foot trailer. A rigging plan written on the back of an envelope is the reason some lifts take two attempts.
Spreader bars keep the slings off the cabinet, and the cabinet is where the damage shows. A lift over a fence needs a crane with reach, and reach costs more than capacity.
What we look for
Details that seem trivial on the phone become decisive on the pad, which is why they are asked about early. The paperwork at the end is short, and it is the part that keeps everybody out of trouble.
A transformer that is still connected belongs to the plant's electrician until it is isolated, and that is the first call. Most of what a buyer needs to know is stamped on a plate the size of a postcard.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you cover all of Geauga County?
Nothing here needs a meeting. A nameplate photograph and a sentence about access is enough to start, and most answers come back the same day. Ohio only is not a limitation for us, it is why the logistics work: the crews, the cranes and the permits are all in-state. A buyer who cannot say where the unit will go is a broker, and brokers add a day and a deduction.
Service area
What does the utility picture look like in Geauga County?
Most units leave within a week of the number being agreed, and a unit that has to clear a site by Friday can usually be gone by Friday. The FirstEnergy system around Geauga County 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 short list of photographs covers the cabinet, the tag, the bushings and the access, and nothing else is needed at the start.
Payment
Can you reach a rural site in Geauga County?
We do not buy in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Kentucky, Indiana or West Virginia, and we say so rather than waste a seller's week. Bridge limits, municipal weight restrictions and construction zones all shape the route, and the route shapes the schedule. A seller should never feel rushed into a decision, and a buyer should never need to rush one.
