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.

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
Union County at a glance
The AEP Ohio feeder map explains most of the nameplates in Union County: distribution primary, low-side service voltage, and a size that matches the building behind it. A buying desk earns its keep by answering quickly, because a seller with a unit in the way is not looking for a relationship.
A seller with four units on one site gets a better number per unit than a seller with one. A substation-class unit sits between what a plant can maintain and what a utility would own, which is why it changes hands.
What the county holds
A tap changer parked at the end of its range has been fighting a voltage problem for years. Bushings fail far more often than windings, and they are far cheaper to replace.
Temperature rise is the figure that decides how long the insulation lasts, and it is printed in small type. A locomotive transformer rarely travels far, which makes it a specialised purchase rather than a general one.
Union County's assembly plant pulled a supplier network into the county, and those suppliers hold units with the same rating as the plant's.
Towns we cover inside Union County include Marysville, and the buying loop reaches every one of them.
Logistics across Union County
Winter changes the logistics in Union County, because a soft shoulder in March is a stuck trailer and the crew plans for it. A river terminal changes the arithmetic on a very large unit, because barge transport avoids the bridges.
A plant on a narrow river road is a scheduled event rather than an errand, and everybody involved knows it. A hilly county makes every lift a rigging problem, and the crane budget grows with the gradient.
What we look for
A unit that has been disconnected for a year is not the same proposition as one that came out last week. A yard with a dozen units in it is a record of what Ohio plants have been replacing.
The difference between a good and a bad purchase is usually information rather than luck. 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 Union 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. Coverage means all eighty-eight counties, and the cities inside them are worked the same way as the farms between them. A buck-boost unit is almost always misapplied rather than worn out, and the diagram inside the cover explains why.
Service area
What does the utility picture look like in Union County?
One desk, one state, one set of hauling relationships, which is why a Union County pickup does not need a national carrier. The AEP Ohio system around Union 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. The paperwork at the end is short, and it is the part that keeps everybody out of trouble.
Payment
Can you reach a rural site in Union County?
Answers come back the same day in most cases, and the truck is scheduled the moment the paperwork is signed. An annual permit covers repetitive moves, and a plant clearing a yard of units can be worked that way. A hot mechanical room quietly derates everything in it, and nobody notices until a unit fails early.
