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
- 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.
Buying desk
The short answer
We buy the unit, the lot and the problem, including the rigging, the permits and the paperwork. A common rating at a common voltage is worth more than a rare one in perfect order, which surprises sellers every week.
A test that costs less than a tank of fuel can change a five-figure decision, which is the whole argument for doing it. A failed unit with a clean tank is a rebuild candidate, and a rebuild candidate is not scrap.
How it works here
A site visit answers in twenty minutes what a week of messages cannot. The difference between a good and a bad purchase is usually information rather than luck.
A buyer who cannot say where the unit will go is a broker, and brokers add a day and a deduction. The unit is the easy part; the site, the access and the paperwork are where the time goes.
What we need from you
A nameplate photograph taken square-on and in focus is worth more than a paragraph of description. A buying desk earns its keep by answering quickly, because a seller with a unit in the way is not looking for a relationship.
The industry runs on relationships, but the first one starts with a nameplate photograph. A cabinet that has been opened recently has probably been looked at by somebody who knew why.
Compared with the alternatives
Value follows the rating before it follows the condition, because an unusable size is worth its metal and nothing more. A unit with new bushings has usually had money spent on it, and that spending is visible.
A number that survives the site visit is worth more than one that was generous on the phone. A mixed lot is priced unit by unit, and the junk in the corner is part of the arithmetic rather than a gift.
Selling a transformer in Canton
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 Canton. A seller who sends four photographs at the start usually gets a decision the same day.
A buyer who quotes without asking anything has quoted for a different transformer. A unit that came out of a working plant is almost always the better buy, and sellers rarely realise it.
Common questions
A hot mechanical room quietly derates everything in it, and nobody notices until a unit fails early. A relocation leaves behind exactly the units that were built into the building, which is why they become surplus.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you buy transformers in Canton?
Sellers inside a closure or a bankruptcy need discretion as much as speed, and both are available here. Coverage means all eighty-eight counties, and the cities inside them are worked the same way as the farms between them. A desk that buys for its own account answers with a figure rather than a promise to find one.
Service area
Is there a fee to get a number?
Site names, addresses and photographs stay in the file, and the file does not leave the desk. There is no fee to look, no commission on the number, and no deduction invented after the truck is loaded. A quick decision is a kindness when the unit is standing in the way of a project.
Payment
How fast can a unit leave the site?
We do not buy in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Kentucky, Indiana or West Virginia, and we say so rather than waste a seller's week. Nothing sits in our queue for a week waiting for approval, because the buyer who quotes you also books the crew. The second data plate on a rebuilt unit matters more than the first, and it is easy to photograph by mistake.
