Transformer Brands We Buy
Brand affects what a used transformer is worth, because it affects how many buyers will take it. It never affects whether we are interested. Below are the manufacturers we see most often; anything not listed is still worth a call.
You are paid before the transformer leaves your property. No consignment, no waiting on a resale.
We do not ask you to test, repair or clean anything. We evaluate the unit ourselves.
We cover the freight and the rigging. Lowboys, cribbing, permits and escorts are our cost.
Disconnection, dismantling and removal are handled by our crews at our expense.

30 brands
ABB
ABB transformers, including ABB-branded units built on former Westinghouse and ASEA designs, are mainstream resale inventory for us across pad-mount, dry-type and station classes.
General Electric (GE)
GE units turn up in every vintage of American building. We buy GE pad-mounts, dry-types, unit substations and station-class transformers, including older units where the nameplate is barely legible.
Square D
Square D dry-types are one of the most common things we buy out of commercial mechanical rooms, and Square D pad-mounts are strong resale items.
Eaton
Eaton transformers, including the Cutler-Hammer lineage, are current-production resale stock and get strong numbers, especially in standard commercial voltages.
Cutler-Hammer
Cutler-Hammer branded units predate the Eaton naming but remain fully resaleable. We buy them in all classes.
Siemens
Siemens transformers, including units carrying the older Allis-Chalmers and ITE heritage, are bought across the range from small dry-types to station-class.
Federal Pacific
Federal Pacific transformers still serve thousands of buildings. Note that transformers are a separate product line from the equipment that made the name controversial, and the transformers are ordinary resale units.
