Any condition, any size
Every situation that ends with a unit to sell
Units released by this situation bought across Ohio, with the removal and paperwork handled.
What we buy
What we buy here
A situation is a schedule with a legal shape around it, and the shape decides how fast a unit can move.
The pages below describe what each one requires before a truck is booked.
Who we buy from
Six kinds of seller, one desk
- Recyclers
- Electrical contractors
- Equipment dealers
- End users
- Demo contractors
- Distributors
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.
Situations
The detail that decides the number
A seller should be able to tell, from one phone call, whether the buyer has done this before.
A tank that has been repainted recently deserves a closer look than one that has not.
Details that seem trivial on the phone become decisive on the pad, which is why they are asked about early.
A short drive within one county costs less than a long drive across three, and the number shows it.
A short drive within one county costs less than a long drive across three, and the number shows it.
A buyer who arrives unprepared wastes the site's morning, which is remembered long after the unit is gone.
The difference between a good and a bad purchase is usually information rather than luck.
A buying desk earns its keep by answering quickly, because a seller with a unit in the way is not looking for a relationship.
A decision made on a photograph is reversible; a decision made after the truck arrives is not.
A seller who has the serial number to hand moves through the first call in half the time.
Every county in Ohio has a slightly different way of doing things, and a buyer who works statewide learns them all.
A buying desk earns its keep by answering quickly, because a seller with a unit in the way is not looking for a relationship.
A substation unit is a project rather than a purchase, and it should be planned like one.
A unit with elevated gas that has been stable for a decade is a different proposition from one where the figure doubled.
A hot mechanical room quietly derates everything in it, and nobody notices until a unit fails early.
An insurance salvage is bought on the adjuster's valuation rather than the seller's hope, which keeps the process honest.
A cabinet that has been opened recently has probably been looked at by somebody who knew why.
The order of work is always the same: look, measure, test, agree, lift, pay.
Remanufacturing keeps the footprint, and the footprint is often the reason the unit cannot simply be replaced.

A desk that buys for its own account answers with a figure rather than a promise to find one.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Is every page here written for Ohio?
We do not photograph a site for publication and we do not name a seller in anything we write. Ohio only is not a limitation for us, it is why the logistics work: the crews, the cranes and the permits are all in-state. A decommissioning is orderly, which makes it the easiest kind of large project to buy from.
Service area
Can I sell a unit that is not listed here?
If there is a bill of sale, a lien release or an asset tag, photograph that too, because paperwork is part of the condition. We would rather lose a unit than quote a figure we cannot honour once the cabinet is open. A hot mechanical room quietly derates everything in it, and nobody notices until a unit fails early.
Payment
How do I get a number?
Nobody asks you to front the crane, the permits or the haul, and nobody nets those out of the offer afterwards. You send a photograph of the nameplate, a buyer reads it, and you get a number with the conditions attached instead of a range that means nothing. The market for used transformers is smaller than the market for new ones, and it rewards honest descriptions.
