What we buy
What we buy here
A control power transformer is usually the last piece of equipment replaced in a plant upgrade, because it is the heaviest and the most disruptive. We have bought control power transformers out of plants, substations, hospitals and yards, and the process does not change with the setting.

|---|---|

| Usually found | motor control centres, switchgear, panels and plant control rooms |
| What we inspect | fuse protection, secondary voltage and enclosure condition |
| How it travels | a box and a van, because these units are small |

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 control power transformer is
A control power transformer is built around a core, a coil and a tank or an enclosure, and the control power transformer label describes the form rather than the rating. A photograph taken in daylight beats one taken with a flash, because glare destroys the stamped characters.
A unit with a welded cover cannot be inspected without cutting, which changes how it is bought. A locomotive transformer rarely travels far, which makes it a specialised purchase rather than a general one.
Where these units turn up in Ohio
A number is only as good as the description behind it, which is why the questions are short and specific. A rural site is often easier than an urban one, because there is room for a crane.
A seller who sends four photographs at the start usually gets a decision the same day. A buyer who turns up with a torch and a tape measure is not there to argue about the paint.
What we check before we quote
A transformer that has been re-gasketed and re-painted is not automatically a good unit, and sometimes the paint is hiding a leak that was never fixed. A three-winding unit needs a test sheet rather than a description, because the tertiary changes everything.
A clean test sheet travels with the unit and makes every later conversation shorter. A tarp over a transformer traps condensation and is often worse than no cover at all.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you buy a control power transformer that has already failed?
Answers come back the same day in most cases, and the truck is scheduled the moment the paperwork is signed. The offer arrives with the reasoning attached, so it can go to a board or a finance team without translation. A buck-boost unit is almost always misapplied rather than worn out, and the diagram inside the cover explains why.
Service area
What does a control power transformer weigh, and does that change the pickup?
We work to your deadline rather than ours, which is why the first question is when the site has to be clear. A 500 kVA padmount runs a few thousand pounds wet, a substation unit can run into six figures, and that difference decides the whole plan. A transformer that is still bolted down belongs to the building until somebody unbolts it, and that is a decision.
Payment
Can you collect a control power transformer outside Ohio?
Send the tag, the cabinet, the bushings and the pad, and the answer usually arrives before the end of the working day. 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.
