What we buy
What we buy here
Scott-T transformers are often the oldest asset on a site and the least documented, which is why the tag photograph matters. What we need on a Scott-T transformer is the tag, the condition and the access, and the rest is a conversation about the number.

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 scott-t transformer is
The Scott-T transformer family is broad enough that two units with the same kVA can be entirely different machines. An impedance figure that does not match the existing protection is a problem nobody notices until a fault.
A bushing with a cracked porcelain skirt fails a visual inspection before it fails electrically. Pole units are the cheapest transformers in any surplus list and the easiest to move, which makes them a good first purchase.
Where these units turn up in Ohio
The second data plate on a rebuilt unit matters more than the first, and it is easy to photograph by mistake. The difference between a good and a bad purchase is usually information rather than luck.
A transformer is a boring asset until the day it fails, and then it is the only thing anyone discusses. A flat county with wide roads makes a heavy move routine, and the number reflects it.
What we check before we quote
The cabinet tells you whether anybody has been inside it recently, and the bolt heads tell you whether they knew what they were doing. Oil finds the drain nobody mentioned, and it usually finds it within the first ten minutes.
A drained unit produces regulated oil, and the oil and the tank then travel as separate waste streams. A single sample is a snapshot and two samples are a trend, and the trend is what a buyer wants.
Condition, oil and contamination
A three-winding unit needs a test sheet rather than a description, because the tertiary changes everything. Oil processing is cheaper than a rewind, which is why a marginal test is not always bad news.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you buy a Scott-T transformer that has already failed?
Sellers who send all four photographs in the first message usually have a number the same morning. If a unit is scrap, we will tell you it is scrap instead of dressing it up as something better. A substation-class unit sits between what a plant can maintain and what a utility would own, which is why it changes hands.
Service area
What does a Scott-T transformer weigh, and does that change the pickup?
We turn down units that cannot be moved safely, and we say so before anybody spends money on a crane. Rigging weight, shipping weight and operating weight are three different numbers and only one of them belongs on a permit. A short drive within one county costs less than a long drive across three, and the number shows it.
Payment
Can you collect a Scott-T transformer outside Ohio?
You will not be handed to a call centre. The person who answers the phone is the person who decides whether we buy. Coverage means all eighty-eight counties, and the cities inside them are worked the same way as the farms between them. A site that has been photographed properly can be quoted without a visit, and the visit is only a confirmation.
