What we buy
What we buy here
Timing is the whole conversation in pcb unit, because a unit that can wait a month is a different negotiation from one that cannot. Sometimes the unit is fine and the site is not: a lease ends, a yard is sold, a building is coming down.
| What happens | A unit built before 1979 with contaminated oil falls under federal handling rules, and the disposal path is regulated from the moment it moves. |
|---|---|
| Deadline | the deadline is usually set by a property transaction or an environmental audit |
| Paperwork | an oil test, a manifest and a disposal record under TSCA |
| Buying note | A contaminated unit is a managed disposal rather than a simple purchase, and the paperwork is the product. |

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.
Situation
What pcb unit means for a transformer
pcb unit means the paperwork and the schedule matter as much as the condition. A buying desk earns its keep by answering quickly, because a seller with a unit in the way is not looking for a relationship.
An insurance salvage is bought on the adjuster's valuation rather than the seller's hope, which keeps the process honest. Most of what a buyer needs to know is stamped on a plate the size of a postcard.
The paperwork that has to be right
A cyclic load leaves a different signature in the oil than a steady one, and the lab report shows it. A seller who keeps the removal photographs has a record that answers most later questions.
A manifest names the generator, the transporter and the facility, and all three have to be right. A repaired unit with documentation is a known quantity and often better than an original of the same age.
How the pickup runs
The crew that arrives is our crew, not a subcontractor who has never seen the site. A flat county with wide roads makes a heavy move routine, and that is reflected in what a buyer can pay.
A site with two gates is a site with options, and options are what a rigging plan needs. A unit in a fenced compound needs the gate opened by somebody with a key, and that somebody is rarely there at seven.
What to send us first
A buck-boost unit is almost always misapplied rather than worn out, and the diagram inside the cover explains why. The paperwork at the end is short, and it is the part that keeps everybody out of trouble.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you buy in a pcb unit situation?
We turn down units that cannot be moved safely, and we say so before anybody spends money on a crane. In pcb unit, the transformer is usually the last thing standing between the site and its next use. A buyer who cannot say where the unit will go is a broker, and brokers add a day and a deduction.
Service area
Who signs the paperwork in a pcb unit?
The first pass costs nothing and takes ten minutes, because no site visit is needed to reach a working number, only to confirm 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. A site manager who has already cleared the pad has done most of the work that matters.
Payment
How fast can you move in a pcb unit?
Coverage means all eighty-eight counties, and the cities inside them are worked the same way as the farms between them. A single padmount is a half-day job once access is confirmed; a substation unit is a week of planning and a permit. A decommissioning is orderly, which makes it the easiest kind of large project to buy from.
