What we buy

What we buy here

Payment is made when the unit leaves the pad, not thirty days later and not after the oil test comes back. That is the whole arrangement, and it is the reason sellers call a buying desk rather than list a unit and wait.

Fast offers

A nameplate photo is usually enough to price a unit the same day.

Dedicated logistics

We arrange the crane, the permits and the flatbed, not you.

No broker fees

You are dealing with the buyer, so nothing is shaved off the offer.

How it works

Six steps from your yard to the money

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

Payment

Why payment on pickup suits both sides

A seller who waits thirty days is lending money to a buyer they may never meet again. A buyer who pays before the lift is trusting a unit they have not seen. Paying at the pad resolves both problems at once: the seller sees the money before the truck is out of the gate, and the buyer sees the unit before the money leaves.

Nobody asks you to front the crane, the permits or the haul, and nobody nets those out of the offer afterwards. There is no middle layer taking a spread: the desk that quotes is the desk that pays and the desk that sends the truck.

What the bill of sale contains

The seller and buyer, the unit type, the serial number, the kVA, the primary and secondary voltages, the location of the unit at the time of sale and the date of transfer. A description that says one transformer is not a description, because a yard full of steel can answer to it.

If the unit was capitalised, the fixed asset register will hold the serial, the year and the cost centre, and that record is useful to both sides. We ask who owned it, who ran it and who took it out, because those three answers explain most of the condition.

Questions

What sellers ask before they call

Equipment types

When exactly is payment made?

The process runs on one call and one look: describe the unit, send the tag, agree a number, and put a date on the truck. The figure we agree is the figure that lands, because rigging and freight are ours to carry, not yours to absorb. A seller should be able to tell, from one phone call, whether the buyer has done this before.

Service area

Do you pay by check or wire?

We send remittance the same day and we match the seller's invoicing requirements, whether that is a purchase order or a signed bill of sale. Payment goes out by bank wire, ACH or certified check on pickup, with no holdback waiting on somebody else's sale. A demolition pickup is fast, dirty and often the most profitable, because the alternative is a unit in a rubble pile.

Payment

Is there a fee to get a number?

Discretion costs nothing here, and it is the reason a good share of our work arrives by referral inside the same plant. Our interest is in the core, the copper and the paperwork that proves the unit is yours to move, not in a commission. A decommissioning is orderly, which makes it the easiest kind of large project to buy from.

Logistics

What if the oil turns out to be contaminated?

What you send stays with the buying desk, and we do not publish your plant, your nameplate or your deadline anywhere. We would rather lose a unit than quote a figure we cannot honour once the cabinet is open. A seller who sends four photographs at the start usually gets a decision the same day.
