Your options

Speed or price. You choose the tradeoff.

01

Quick pickup

Contractors, recyclers, plants, anyone who wants the unit gone this month.

Send three photos and a ZIP. We make a written offer, schedule a truck, and pay within 3 business days of a passed inspection. Scrap, used, and new surplus. Distribution, substation, regulators, reclosers, breakers, switchgear, MCCs, panels, and breaker lots down to MCBs.

02

Consignment

Owners of high-value power transformers and new surplus who can wait for a better number.

You keep the unit on your pad. We market it to end users and dealers, you approve the floor price, and we split the upside. Best for units above 1 MVA and anything still on the original skid.

03

Utility yard program

Electric utilities, munis, and co-ops with a storeroom that fills up.

We visit on a schedule, at least twice a year. We inventory every unit, pull PCB samples on anything pre-1980, photograph nameplates, and haul. You get a manifest with manufacturer, serial, and your company number, plus the EPA documentation for your file. Free as long as we get to buy the equipment.

04

On-site scrapping

Large power transformers where freight costs more than the unit is worth intact.

Our crew processes the unit where it sits: drain, sample, cut, sort copper and steel, remove. Above roughly 5 MVA this usually beats hauling. We handle EPA and OSHA paperwork.
