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
This page exists because most sellers do not know who to call, and the first three calls are usually wasted. Solar inverter units are recent enough that the first wave is only now reaching the used market.
A seller comparing two offers should compare the assumptions behind them rather than the headline figure. A failed unit with a clean tank is a rebuild candidate, and a rebuild candidate is not scrap.
How it works here
A demolition pickup is fast, dirty and often the most profitable, because the alternative is a unit in a rubble pile. A seller who knows what the unit is saves everybody an hour, and the hour is often the difference.
A unit with elevated gas that has been stable for a decade is a different proposition from one where the figure doubled. The paperwork at the end is short, and it is the part that keeps everybody out of trouble.
What we need from you
A nameplate photograph taken square-on and in focus is worth more than a paragraph of description. A quick decision is a kindness when the unit is standing in the way of a project.
A unit that is documented is easier to move than one that is not, in every sense of the word. A desk that buys for its own account answers with a figure rather than a promise to find one.
Compared with the alternatives
An expansion is the best kind of sale, because the unit was working when it was disconnected. A price that includes removal is a different number from one that does not, and the difference is the crane.
A number that survives the site visit is worth more than one that was generous on the phone. A common rating in poor condition sells faster than a rare one in good condition.
Selling a transformer in Dayton
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 Dayton. A seller should keep the photographs after the sale, because the next buyer will ask for the same ones.
A seller should never feel rushed into a decision, and a buyer should never need to rush one. The best outcome is a unit that leaves the site and turns up somewhere useful, and that happens more often than people expect.
Common questions
A mine-duty unit is designed to be dragged, and it looks it, which is not the same as being worn out. Paint is a cosmetic question, and seam rust is a structural one, and the two are often confused.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you buy transformers in Dayton?
When the answer is no, it is usually about the core, the oil or the access, and we name which one. Every county in the state is covered, from the lake shore to the river, and Dayton sits inside the regular loop. A relocation leaves behind exactly the units that were built into the building, which is why they become surplus.
Service area
Is there a fee to get a number?
If a unit sits just over a state line, the honest answer is that somebody closer should buy it. Payment goes out by bank wire, ACH or certified check on pickup, with no holdback waiting on somebody else's sale. A transformer with its original documentation is easier to insure, easier to resell and easier to explain.
Payment
How fast can a unit leave the site?
Coverage means all eighty-eight counties, and the cities inside them are worked the same way as the farms between them. A mixed lot takes longer than a single unit because every tag has to be read, but it still moves in days rather than months. Details that seem trivial on the phone become decisive on the pad, which is why they are asked about early.
