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
Warren County at a glance
Where Warren 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 described honestly sells faster than one described optimistically, because the second one gets renegotiated.
The unit is the easy part; the site, the access and the paperwork are where the time goes. A city with a rail yard inside its limits is a city where heavy units move easily.
What the county holds
A fan that does not run turns a forced-cooled rating into a natural-cooled one without changing the tag. A phase shifter without its control system is a very expensive fixed reactor.
A dry-type in a damp room fails from the room rather than from the load. A temperature rise of 55 degrees is a more conservative build than 65, and the difference shows in the weight.
Warren County's industrial parks filled in quickly, and the padmounts installed there now need an oil test before a buyer commits.
Towns we cover inside Warren County include Mason, Springboro, Lebanon, Franklin, and the buying loop reaches every one of them.
Logistics across Warren County
Most Warren County sites have a gate wide enough for a step deck, and the ones that do not get a smaller trailer. A municipal weight restriction can stop a move that the state would allow without a second look.
The most common cause of a low offer is a missing nameplate, and the second most common is a missing access route. Ground that has been wet for a week will not hold an outrigger, whatever it looks like from the cab.
What we look for
A mine-duty unit is designed to be dragged, and it looks it, which is not the same as being worn out. A seller with a deadline should say so early, because the schedule is built around the date rather than the unit.
Every county in Ohio has a slightly different way of doing things, and a buyer who works statewide learns them all. A unit that has been disconnected for a year is not the same proposition as one that came out last week.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you cover all of Warren County?
The first pass costs nothing and takes ten minutes, because no site visit is needed to reach a working number, only to confirm it. Coverage means all eighty-eight counties, and the cities inside them are worked the same way as the farms between them. A buyer who works the whole state can move a unit to whichever plant needs it, which is why the coverage matters.
Service area
What does the utility picture look like in Warren County?
One desk, one state, one set of hauling relationships, which is why a Warren County pickup does not need a national carrier. Most of the transformers we pull out of Warren County were fed from a Duke Energy Ohio substation, and the tag says so in the primary column. An insurance salvage is bought on the adjuster's valuation rather than the seller's hope, which keeps the process honest.
Payment
Can you reach a rural site in Warren County?
Our interest is in the core, the copper and the paperwork that proves the unit is yours to move, not in a commission. Permits take days rather than hours, which is why the application starts before the crane is booked. A relocation leaves behind exactly the units that were built into the building, which is why they become surplus.
