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.

County
Tuscarawas 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 unit that is documented is easier to move than one that is not, in every sense of the word.
A flat county with wide roads makes a heavy move routine, and the number reflects it. A unit in a building that is coming down is a different problem from a unit in a plant that is staying.
What the county holds
Phase loss damage is often confined to one winding, which makes the unit a rebuild candidate rather than scrap. Inrush trips breakers more often than faults do, and the fix is a setting rather than a new unit.
A temperature rise of 55 degrees is a more conservative build than 65, and the difference shows in the weight. A zig-zag unit does not supply load, which is the single most misunderstood fact about it.
Tuscarawas County's steel and clay works are old enough that the nameplate is often the only record of the unit left on site.
Towns we cover inside Tuscarawas County include New Philadelphia, and the buying loop reaches every one of them.
Logistics across Tuscarawas County
Access in Tuscarawas County is rarely the problem; the problem is the overhead primary that runs directly over the pad. A tornado moves the building rather than the transformer, so access becomes the constraint.
A lift over a fence needs a crane with reach, and reach costs more than capacity. We would rather turn a unit down than quote a number that cannot survive the drive to the site.
What we look for
A buyer's first question is about the rating and the second is about the access, in that order. A unit that came out of a working plant is almost always the better buy, and sellers rarely realise it.
A yard with a dozen units in it is a record of what Ohio plants have been replacing. The order of work is always the same: look, measure, test, agree, lift, pay.
What a unit in Tuscarawas County is worth
A unit in Tuscarawas County is worth what a buyer can pay after the crane, the permit and the freight, and that arithmetic is the same in every county. A missing bushing subtracts more than its replacement cost, because it signals how the unit was treated.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you cover all of Tuscarawas County?
We work to your deadline rather than ours, which is why the first question is when the site has to be clear. We buy in Ohio and only in Ohio, which is why a truck can be at a Tuscarawas County gate the same week the number is agreed. Details that seem trivial on the phone become decisive on the pad, which is why they are asked about early.
Service area
What does the utility picture look like in Tuscarawas County?
One desk, one state, one set of hauling relationships, which is why a Tuscarawas County pickup does not need a national carrier. Supply into Tuscarawas County comes off AEP Ohio lines, so a unit being retired there is almost always a distribution-class primary with a 480 or 208-volt secondary. The industry runs on relationships, but the first one starts with a nameplate photograph.
Payment
Can you reach a rural site in Tuscarawas County?
A buyer who says yes to everything is not a buyer; the useful answer explains what would have to be true for the number to rise. Some Ohio cities restrict heavy moves to certain hours, and a downtown pickup is planned around that. A site visit answers in twenty minutes what a week of messages cannot.
