No fees, no broker
Voltage classes, in order
Padmount and dry-type units at this voltage bought across Ohio, in service or already on the floor.
What we buy
What we buy here
Voltage decides which buyers can use a unit, which is why it is the second question after the kVA.
A class is not a quality ranking. It is a description of the system the unit was built to serve.
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.

The detail that decides the number
A tank that has been repainted recently deserves a closer look than one that has not.
The difference between a good and a bad purchase is usually information rather than luck.
A seller who has the serial number to hand moves through the first call in half the time.
A unit that came out of a working plant is almost always the better buy, and sellers rarely realise it.
A unit that was replaced during an upgrade is almost always a better buy than one that failed on a Tuesday.
A seller should keep the photographs after the sale, because the next buyer will ask for the same ones.
A transformer that is still bolted down belongs to the building until somebody unbolts it, and that is a decision.
A unit with a clean surround has usually been maintained by somebody who cared, and that shows in the oil.
A unit with a clean surround has usually been maintained by somebody who cared, and that shows in the oil.
A buyer who has seen the site will always beat a buyer who has only seen a form, which is why the visit is free.
A purchase that finishes in a week is normal, and one that finishes in a day is a favour returned.
A hot mechanical room quietly derates everything in it, and nobody notices until a unit fails early.
A transformer is heavy, oily, regulated and awkward, and every part of the process reflects that.
A unit described honestly sells faster than one described optimistically, because the second one gets renegotiated.
The second data plate on a rebuilt unit matters more than the first, and it is easy to photograph by mistake.
A seller should ask what happens to the unit after it leaves, because the answer says what kind of buyer they are dealing with.
A short drive within one county costs less than a long drive across three, and the number shows it.
A seller who knows what the unit is saves everybody an hour, and the hour is often the difference.
A demolition pickup is fast, dirty and often the most profitable, because the alternative is a unit in a rubble pile.
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
Is every page here written for Ohio?
If the sale sits inside a confidential process, say so on the first call and the file is handled accordingly. Coverage means all eighty-eight counties, and the cities inside them are worked the same way as the farms between them. A short conversation at the start saves an argument at the gate, and the argument is the expensive part.
Service area
Can I sell a unit that is not listed here?
A municipal seller needs an invoice and a W-9; a plant needs a wire against a bill of sale. We do both without drama. We turn down units that cannot be moved safely, and we say so before anybody spends money on a crane. A transformer is heavy, oily, regulated and awkward, and every part of the process reflects that.
Payment
How do I get a number?
A buyer reads the tag, checks whatever oil history exists, and says what the unit is worth as it stands rather than what it might be worth rebuilt. You will not be handed to a call centre. The person who answers the phone is the person who decides whether we buy. A transformer that has been idle for two years may still be perfect, and the test sheet is how you find out.
