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
Licking County at a glance
The AEP Ohio system around Licking 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 unit in a building that is coming down is a different problem from a unit in a plant that is staying.
A transformer that has been idle for two years may still be perfect, and the test sheet is how you find out. A municipal utility keeps records that an investor-owned utility rarely matches, which helps at resale.
What the county holds
A unit with a bolted cover and a gasket that has gone hard will leak at the first temperature swing. A padmount that has stood in the same spot for thirty years will have settled, and the cabinet will tell you how far.
A dual-voltage primary is more flexible and therefore easier to place than a single-voltage one. A unit with a crushed radiator bank has lost capacity that the tag still claims.
Licking County's glass and aerospace work keeps a steady demand, so units there are replaced before they fail rather than after.
Towns we cover inside Licking County include Newark, and the buying loop reaches every one of them.
Logistics across Licking County
The drive from Licking County to our yard is a day's work, which makes a two-unit pickup more efficient than two single trips. A site with two gates is a site with options, and options are what a rigging plan needs.
The concentration matters as much as the presence, which is why a single number on a test sheet decides the route. A mezzanine unit usually comes out in pieces or through a window, and both options need planning.
What we look for
A unit that has been in service is a known quantity, and a unit that has been idle is a question. The unit is the easy part; the site, the access and the paperwork are where the time goes.
A buck-boost unit is almost always misapplied rather than worn out, and the diagram inside the cover explains why. A partial assembly is bought on the assumption that something is missing, because it usually is.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you cover all of Licking County?
We do not list your unit anywhere, we do not need another buyer to appear, and we do not ask you to hold it while we look. We know the Ohio permit routes, the scales and the bridge limits because that is the only ground we work. The paperwork at the end is short, and it is the part that keeps everybody out of trouble.
Service area
What does the utility picture look like in Licking County?
A unit with no tag is not a dead end; it is a unit that needs a tape measure and a close look at the bushings. Most of the transformers we pull out of Licking County were fed from a AEP Ohio substation, and the tag says so in the primary column. A transformer is a boring asset until the day it fails, and then it is the only thing anyone discusses.
Payment
Can you reach a rural site in Licking County?
Sellers inside a closure or a bankruptcy need discretion as much as speed, and both are available here. 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.
