You are dealing with the buyer, so nothing is shaved off the offer.

How it works

Six steps from your yard to the money

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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

Hancock County at a glance

If the unit sits behind a AEP Ohio meter, the utility owns the transformer on the pole and the customer owns what is inside the fence. A desk that buys for its own account answers with a figure rather than a promise to find one.

A unit that came out of a working plant is almost always the better buy, and sellers rarely realise it. Every county in Ohio has a slightly different way of doing things, and a buyer who works statewide learns them all.

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 unit parked at the extreme tap has been fighting a voltage problem for years, which tells you something. An instrument transformer is small, fragile and expensive to replace, which makes packing it properly worth the trouble.

Hancock County's plastics and gas services hold a lot of mid-size units across several industrial parks, which suits a multi-unit pickup.

Towns we cover inside Hancock County include Findlay, and the buying loop reaches every one of them.

Logistics across Hancock County

Access in Hancock County is rarely the problem; the problem is the overhead primary that runs directly over the pad. A mezzanine unit usually comes out in pieces or through a window, and both options need planning.

Most sellers underestimate the lift and overestimate the drive, which is the opposite of how the cost actually falls. The concentration matters as much as the presence, which is why a single number on a test sheet decides the route.

What we look for

A transformer with its original documentation is easier to insure, easier to resell and easier to explain. A transformer that has been idle for two years may still be perfect, and the test sheet is how you find out.

A cabinet that has been opened recently has probably been looked at by somebody who knew why. A decision made on a photograph is reversible; a decision made after the truck arrives is not.

Questions

What sellers ask before they call

Equipment types

Do you cover all of Hancock County?

We buy in Ohio and only in Ohio, which is why a truck can be at a Hancock County gate the same week the number is agreed. 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 substation unit is a project rather than a purchase, and it should be planned like one.

Service area

What does the utility picture look like in Hancock 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. Most of the transformers we pull out of Hancock County were fed from a AEP Ohio substation, and the tag says so in the primary column. The industry runs on relationships, but the first one starts with a nameplate photograph.

Payment

Can you reach a rural site in Hancock County?

We send remittance the same day and we match the seller's invoicing requirements, whether that is a purchase order or a signed bill of sale. A unit inside a building needs a door measurement, a floor rating and a route, and usually a smaller machine. A decommissioning is orderly, which makes it the easiest kind of large project to buy from.
