We buy surplus transformers from demolition and decommissioning contractors.
On-site scrapping when freight does not pencil out.

We see the same units from demolition and decommissioning contractors over and over. Here is what usually shows up and what we do with it.
On a demo schedule, electrical gear is either an asset or an obstruction, and which one it is changes by the day. The substation transformer that could sell intact becomes scrap the moment the excavator needs its corner of the site. We work to your sequence, not ours.
We buy everything that comes off a demo: substation units, padmounts, switchgear lineups, MCCs, panelboards, bus duct, breaker lots. Intact pays more than cut. If freight does not pencil on a big unit, our crew scraps it where it sits: drain, sample, cut, sort, gone.
One offer, one truck, paperwork you can file.
Call before the cutover if you can. A unit that is photographed and offered while still bolted down gets an intact price and a scheduled pickup. After the torch, it is metal weight. Either way we handle the oil, the sampling, and the EPA paperwork, which keeps that liability off your ticket.

Tell us the window when you accept the offer. Leaking or in-the-way units get priority trucks. If the schedule moves, call and we move with it.
Either. Staged at grade with equipment access is fastest. For substation gear we can bring the crane and riggers.
We do, once we buy the unit. Sampling before removal, licensed transport, and documentation. Do not drain anything before we get there.
