Value on motor control centers comes down to the brand and series, the ratings on the nameplate, what is still installed inside, and condition. New surplus is worth the most. Failed units are worth their parts and metal.

What drives the number
Starter and feeder buckets carry much of an MCC's value. VFD and soft starter buckets carry the most. Photograph the bucket labels.
Allen-Bradley, Square D, Eaton, Siemens, and GE MCCs each sell into plants standardized on that series. Current series bring the best numbers.
A clean matched lineup sells as a lineup. Older lineups part out to plants keeping the same series alive.
Dry, clean structures and buckets with intact stabs and handles sell. Burned stabs and water damage push it toward metal value.
Reading the nameplate
Each vertical section has a nameplate, usually at the top of the section or inside the top door. Each bucket has its own label. One section plate plus a sample of bucket labels gets you a number.
Freight and rigging
Sections ship split, typically several hundred to a couple thousand pounds each. Buckets pull and palletize separately. We plan the rigging.

FAQ
Yes. Failed units are worth their parts, breakers, copper, and steel. Tell us what failed if you know.
Send the other photos and whatever you know. Illegible nameplates route to a slower queue, but the lead still gets a call.
We do. Liftgate truck, flatbed, or crane, depending on the size. Tell us if the unit is truck accessible.
