Dallas Transformer Buyers: Paid Before Pickup — Texas

Our buyers cover Dallas and the rest of Texas. Send a nameplate photo and you will have a number back the same day. Our Texas buyers handle Dallas and everything around it in TX.

Payment is upfront. You do not front the freight, you do not pay a rigger, and you do not need to have the unit tested before we commit to a price.

03Freight On Us

We cover the freight and the rigging. Lowboys, cribbing, permits and escorts are our cost.

04We Do Teardown

Disconnection, dismantling and removal are handled by our crews at our expense.

What we buy in Dallas

Every class of transformer is in scope. The units we see most often coming out of Dallas and the wider Texas market include 150 kVA units from a municipal pump station, 2500 kVA oil-filled units with radiator banks, 1000 kVA units pulled during a service upgrade, network transformers from a downtown vault and 5000 kVA power transformers from a mill.

Who sells to us here

Our sellers in this market are typically hospital and campus engineering groups, manufacturers consolidating two plants into one, mining and aggregate operations, plant maintenance managers after a voltage upgrade and pulp, paper and lumber mills.

  • Often because the plant closed and assets are being liquidated.
  • Often because a spare was bought years ago and never installed.
  • Often because a PCB concern made keeping the unit unattractive.
  • Often because a storm replacement arrived and the damaged unit needs to go.

Getting a truck into Dallas

Distance from Dallas does not change what we pay. It changes our margin, not your number. We can work inside an active facility without shutting your operation down.

Distance is our problem, not yours. We quote the transformer on what it is worth, then absorb the cost of getting it out of Dallas. Sellers who have been quoted by scrap dealers are usually surprised by the difference, because a scrap price has the hauling cost taken out of it and ignores resale value entirely.

How the sale works

Four steps, no cost to you

1. Send what you have

A photo of the nameplate and one wide shot of the unit is enough to start. If the nameplate is unreadable, photograph the unit anyway and we will work from dimensions and construction.

2. Get a number

We come back with a firm offer, usually the same day. It is a cash offer, not an estimate that changes later.

3. We schedule around you

Pickup in Dallas gets scheduled to fit your outage window, plant shutdown or building access hours. If a utility disconnect is required first, we coordinate the timing.

4. We pay, then we haul

You are paid before the unit moves. Our crew handles teardown, rigging and loading, and our truck takes it away.

Dallas transformer selling questions

Straight answers

Do you actually come to Dallas to pick up transformers?

Yes. Distance from Dallas does not change what we pay. It changes our margin, not your number. We do not ask you to arrange freight or deliver anything to us.

Do I need to have the transformer tested first?

No. Testing is never a condition of our offer. We assess the unit from photos, the nameplate and our own inspection at pickup.

What if the transformer is oil-filled or might contain PCBs?

We buy it either way. If the nameplate does not confirm non-PCB status we treat the unit as presumed-contaminated and price the correct disposal path into the offer. You are told plainly which category your unit is in.

When do I get paid?

Before the transformer leaves your property. Payment is not contingent on us reselling it.

Will you buy a single transformer in Dallas, or only large lots?

Both. One unit is worth a call, and if you have a yard full of change-outs we will quote the entire lot as one purchase.

What if the unit is still energized and connected?

That is normal. Tell us and we will coordinate the disconnection with your electrician or the utility, then handle teardown and rigging ourselves.
