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
Pike 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 Pike County. A seller should ask what happens to the unit after it leaves, because the answer says what kind of buyer they are dealing with.
A city with a rail yard inside its limits is a city where heavy units move easily. A rural site is often easier than an urban one, because there is room for a crane.
What the county holds
A transformer is one of the few pieces of plant equipment that keeps a meaningful value after it has been disconnected. A working unit replaced during an upgrade carries no fault history, which is the main reason it is worth more.
A seized tap link turns a five-minute voltage change into a tank opening, which is worth knowing before the sale. A unit with a bolted cover and a gasket that has gone hard will leak at the first temperature swing.
Pike County's river valley holds most of its load, and the industrial base there is small and built around timber and grain.
Logistics across Pike County
Moving a unit out of Pike County is a matter of getting a trailer close enough, and the industrial streets there usually allow it. A crane set up on a slope will not lift what its chart says, and the operator will say so before the lift.
A site with a hard deadline should be scheduled backwards from the crane, not forwards from the phone call. Ground bearing is the question a crane operator asks first and the site answers last.
What we look for
A decommissioning is orderly, which makes it the easiest kind of large project to buy from. A transformer is heavy, oily, regulated and awkward, and every part of the process reflects that.
A short list of photographs covers the cabinet, the tag, the bushings and the access, and nothing else is needed at the start. A unit that came out of a working plant is almost always the better buy, and sellers rarely realise it.
What a unit in Pike County is worth
Buyers who cover Pike County properly are rare, which is why most of the calls we get there arrive by referral. The gap between scrap value and resale value is the whole reason a buying desk exists.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you cover all of Pike County?
The difference shows up when a deadline is tight: a buyer can move on a Thursday, a broker usually cannot. If a unit sits just over a state line, the honest answer is that somebody closer should buy it. A transformer that is still bolted down belongs to the building until somebody unbolts it, and that is a decision.
Service area
What does the utility picture look like in Pike County?
We do not photograph a site for publication and we do not name a seller in anything we write. Where Pike County has its own municipal system, the utility transformer and the customer transformer are two assets with two different owners and two different files. A unit with elevated gas that has been stable for a decade is a different proposition from one where the figure doubled.
Payment
Can you reach a rural site in Pike County?
There is no pressure to accept on the call; the number holds for a set period and you can test it against another buyer. Ohio issues oversize and overweight permits by route, and a substation unit usually needs one before it moves. A buyer who cannot say where the unit will go is a broker, and brokers add a day and a deduction.
