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
- 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
The alternative to a buyer is a scrap yard, and the difference between the two is usually the difference between a machine and a heap of steel. Solar inverter units are recent enough that the first wave is only now reaching the used market.
Condition grading exists so that two people can discuss a number without arguing about adjectives. A common rating in poor condition sells faster than a rare one in good condition.
How it works here
Details that seem trivial on the phone become decisive on the pad, which is why they are asked about early. A unit that came out of a working plant is almost always the better buy, and sellers rarely realise it.
A site visit answers in twenty minutes what a week of messages cannot. A seller who knows what the unit is saves everybody an hour, and the hour is often the difference.
What we need from you
A nameplate photograph taken square-on and in focus is worth more than a paragraph of description. A relocation leaves behind exactly the units that were built into the building, which is why they become surplus.
The order of work is always the same: look, measure, test, agree, lift, pay. A buyer who cannot say where the unit will go is a broker, and brokers add a day and a deduction.
Compared with the alternatives
A leaking unit is bought on the assumption that the tank needs work, and the offer says so in writing. A seller who understands the rating will understand the offer, and the conversation gets shorter.
A seller who understands why an offer is low can often move the offer up without spending much. A buyer who explains a deduction is easier to trust than one who simply reduces the figure.
Ohio only, on purpose
Every county in the state is covered, from the lake shore to the river, and Ohio sits inside the regular loop. A plant on the river has a barge option that a plant on a ridge does not.
A unit that has been disconnected for a year is not the same proposition as one that came out last week. A transformer that is still connected belongs to the plant's electrician until it is isolated, and that is the first call.
Common questions
A hot mechanical room quietly derates everything in it, and nobody notices until a unit fails early. A transformer with its original documentation is easier to insure, easier to resell and easier to explain.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you buy transformers anywhere in Ohio?
Coverage means all eighty-eight counties, and the cities inside them are worked the same way as the farms between them. One desk, one state, one set of hauling relationships, which is why a Ohio pickup does not need a national carrier. A unit that has been in service is a known quantity, and a unit that has been idle is a question.
Service area
Is there a fee to get a number?
We would rather lose a unit than quote a figure we cannot honour once the cabinet is open. 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. A unit that is documented is easier to move than one that is not, in every sense of the word.
Payment
How fast can a unit leave the site?
Nothing sits in our queue for a week waiting for approval, because the buyer who quotes you also books the crew. Demolition schedules, lease expirations and closing dates all work the same way here: give us the date and we work to it. A unit substation is convenient in service and awkward to move, because the sections are bolted together.
