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
Marion 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 Marion County. A hot mechanical room quietly derates everything in it, and nobody notices until a unit fails early.
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. Paint is a cosmetic question, and seam rust is a structural one, and the two are often confused.
What the county holds
Three-phase padmounts are the most common commercial unit in Ohio and the easiest to place with a buyer. A nameplate answers six questions at once, which is why it is the first thing photographed.
A transformer that has run at a steady percentage of nameplate usually has cleaner oil than one that cycled hard. A nameplate that has been painted over is a nameplate that will have to be read under a torch.
Marion County's truck plant pulled a supply chain into the county, and the smaller suppliers there hold units oversized for what they now run.
Towns we cover inside Marion County include Marion, and the buying loop reaches every one of them.
Logistics across Marion County
The drive from Marion County to our yard is a day's work, which makes a two-unit pickup more efficient than two single trips. Escorts are decided by dimensions rather than by weight, which surprises most sellers.
A trailer that cannot turn around will reverse out, and reversing out takes an hour. A bridge rating can turn a twenty-mile drive into a sixty-mile one, and the permit names the route for that reason.
What we look for
A relocation leaves behind exactly the units that were built into the building, which is why they become surplus. A short list of photographs covers the cabinet, the tag, the bushings and the access, and nothing else is needed at the start.
The unit is the easy part; the site, the access and the paperwork are where the time goes. A demolition pickup is fast, dirty and often the most profitable, because the alternative is a unit in a rubble pile.
What a unit in Marion County is worth
Scrap yards around Marion County will take a transformer, and they pay for the steel and the copper and nothing for the unit. A seller with photographs gets a firm number, and a seller with a description gets a range.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you cover all of Marion County?
The paperwork is between your company and ours, and it does not travel. Every county in the state is covered, from the lake shore to the river, and Marion County sits inside the regular loop. A unit that is documented is easier to move than one that is not, in every sense of the word.
Service area
What does the utility picture look like in Marion County?
We would rather lose a unit than quote a figure we cannot honour once the cabinet is open. A AEP Ohio upgrade in Marion County is one of the most common reasons a perfectly serviceable transformer ends up surplus. A seller who mentions the deadline in the first sentence gets a schedule rather than a queue.
Payment
Can you reach a rural site in Marion County?
You will not be handed to a call centre. The person who answers the phone is the person who decides whether we buy. We would rather hear about the bad driveway on the phone than discover it with a loaded trailer. Every county in Ohio has a slightly different way of doing things, and a buyer who works statewide learns them all.
