Sell a Cast Resin Transformer in Ohio
Dry-type units of this type bought across Ohio, in any condition, with the oil sampled before we quote.
What we buy
What we buy here
You find a cast resin transformer at the point where the utility's voltage stops being useful to the process behind it. We buy single cast resin transformers and we buy lots, and a lot is judged unit by unit rather than by the pound.
| Size band | 100 to 5,000 kVA |
|---|---|
| Voltage | 2,400 to 34,500 volts |
| Usually found | tunnels, water plants, chemical plants and buildings with wet or dirty air |
| What we inspect | resin cracking, tracking marks, terminal condition and core clamping |
| How it travels | a crane or forklift with the coils braced, because a dropped cast unit is a written-off unit |

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.
Transformer type
What a cast resin transformer is
Cast Resin Transformer units run from a few kVA to tens of MVA, and the ones we buy in Ohio sit across that whole range. A three-phase unit with one damaged winding is still a three-phase unit, and the repair is priced accordingly.
Rewinding is a planned decision rather than an emergency one, which is why it suits a unit with a rare rating. A mechanical room built around a transformer will have to be opened, and the wall usually goes back afterwards.
Where these units turn up in Ohio
A buyer who quotes without asking anything has quoted for a different transformer. A seller should be able to tell, from one phone call, whether the buyer has done this before.
A substation unit is a project rather than a purchase, and it should be planned like one. A transformer that is still bolted down belongs to the building until somebody unbolts it, and that is a decision.
What we check before we quote
We grade on the core, the coil, the tank and the bushings rather than on cosmetics, because a faded cabinet with a clean core beats a painted one with a wet tank. A drain valve that will not open is a small problem that becomes a large one on pickup day.
A dark sample is not automatically a failed sample, and a clear one is not automatically a good one. A sample taken from the bottom drain after the unit has stood tells you more than one taken in a hurry.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you buy a cast resin transformer that has already failed?
The paperwork is between your company and ours, and it does not travel. If a unit is scrap, we will tell you it is scrap instead of dressing it up as something better. A transformer is heavy, oily, regulated and awkward, and every part of the process reflects that.
Service area
What does a cast resin transformer weigh, and does that change the pickup?
You will not be handed to a call centre. The person who answers the phone is the person who decides whether we buy. Overweight is a permit problem before it is a crane problem, and Ohio scales are not forgiving. A partial assembly is bought on the assumption that something is missing, because it usually is.
Payment
Can you collect a cast resin transformer outside Ohio?
You are paid when the unit leaves the pad, not thirty days after it arrives somewhere else. We know the Ohio permit routes, the scales and the bridge limits because that is the only ground we work. The unit will outlast the building it serves, which is why so many of them change hands.
