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
Harrison County at a glance
Knowing which side of the meter a unit sits on decides who can actually sell it, and that is the first question we ask in Harrison County. A township site is usually simpler than a city site, because there is no lane closure to arrange.
A unit that has been in service is a known quantity, and a unit that has been idle is a question. 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 zig-zag unit does not supply load, which is the single most misunderstood fact about it. A transformer energized on a light load first gives the unit a chance to settle and the protection a chance to hold.
A three-phase unit with one damaged winding is still a three-phase unit, and the repair is priced accordingly. A station service transformer is unglamorous, critical and usually much older than the station it serves.
Harrison County's gas processing brought compression load into country that had none, and those units are now being resized as the play matures.
Logistics across Harrison County
The last hundred feet are the whole job in Harrison County, which is why we ask for photographs of the approach before we quote. Municipal weight restrictions catch more heavy moves than state permits do.
Escorts are decided by dimensions rather than by weight, which surprises most sellers. We would rather turn a unit down than quote a number that cannot survive the drive to the site.
What we look for
A quick decision is a kindness when the unit is standing in the way of a project. Nothing about a transformer improves by waiting, and the oil in particular gets worse rather than better.
A buyer who works the whole state can move a unit to whichever plant needs it, which is why the coverage matters. The unit will outlast the building it serves, which is why so many of them change hands.
What a unit in Harrison County is worth
Surplus equipment around Harrison County arrives in waves tied to plant closures and utility projects rather than to the economy in general. An overstock sale is where matching sets appear, and a matching set is worth more than the units bought one at a time.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you cover all of Harrison County?
Send the tag, the cabinet, the bushings and the pad, and the answer usually arrives before the end of the working day. We know the Ohio permit routes, the scales and the bridge limits because that is the only ground we work. A mine-duty unit is designed to be dragged, and it looks it, which is not the same as being worn out.
Service area
What does the utility picture look like in Harrison County?
A firm number needs three things: the tag, the condition and a route out of the building. A AEP Ohio upgrade in Harrison 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.
Payment
Can you reach a rural site in Harrison County?
Answers come back the same day in most cases, and the truck is scheduled the moment the paperwork is signed. Alley access in an Ohio city is often tighter than the plant gate, so the crew plans for the tighter of the two. A yard with a dozen units in it is a record of what Ohio plants have been replacing.
