We see the same units from electric utilities over and over. Here is what usually shows up and what we do with it.
A utility storeroom fills up for reasons that have nothing to do with carelessness. Standards change and a shelf of 4160V spares becomes dead stock. A storm swap leaves forty takeouts in the yard with no test history. A substation rebuild retires a 10 MVA unit that still works but no longer fits the one-line. All of it sits there tying up space and audit attention.
We buy the whole mix: conventional and CSP polemounts by the pallet, padmounts from URD conversions, retired substation units, plus the regulators, reclosers, and breakers that come off with them. Pre-1980 oil-filled gear gets sampled by us, at our cost, before anything ships.
One offer, one truck, paperwork you can file.
Most utility deals run through the yard program: we visit on a schedule, inventory every unit with nameplate photos, pull the PCB samples, haul, and hand your environmental team a manifest with manufacturer, serial, and your company number on every line. Payment per unit, per visit.
Get an offerA recurring yard cleanout, free as long as we get to buy.
Storerooms fill with retired spares, storm takeouts, and units nobody wants to sample. We do the sampling, the cataloging, and the hauling. Your people do not.
- 01We visit on a schedule
At least twice a year, more if the yard fills faster. You pick the window.
- 02We inventory every unit
Manufacturer, serial, your company number, kVA, primary, secondary, year, oil type. Nameplate photos on all of it.
- 03We pull PCB samples on pre-1980 gear
Our people, our lab, our cost. Results go into your file.
- 04We haul
Our trucks, our rigging. Your crew loads or we bring the equipment to do it.
- 05You get the paperwork
Manifest, chain of custody, and the EPA documentation your environmental team asks for.
- 06You get paid
Per unit, per visit, wire or ACH within 3 business days of a passed inspection.
What electric utilities ask us first.
No. A single retired substation transformer is worth a visit on its own. For distribution takeouts, a pallet of polemounts is enough to schedule a truck.
We do. Sampling, lab results, and the paperwork your environmental file needs. You get copies of everything, including for units that test clean.
Yes. Tell us the site rules when we schedule and we build the visit around them. Our crew shows up with PPE and current insurance certificates.
