Dent, OH · the industrial Midwest
Dent Transformer Buyers, Freight Covered — Ohio
We buy transformers across Ohio, and Dent pickups are scheduled around your outage window rather than ours. Our the industrial Midwest buyers handle Dent and everything around it in OH.
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.
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.

Who sells to us here
Our sellers in this market are typically general contractors on an adaptive-reuse project, plant maintenance managers after a voltage upgrade, water and wastewater treatment authorities, electrical supply houses moving old inventory and electrical contractors clearing out a job trailer.
- Often because the plant closed and assets are being liquidated.
- Often because an insurance inspection flagged an oil-filled unit indoors.
- Often because a voltage conversion left the old unit stranded.
- Often because a spare was bought years ago and never installed.
Getting a truck into Dent
Distance from Columbus 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 Dent. 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 Dent 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.

Dent transformer selling questions
Straight answers
Do you actually come to Dent to pick up transformers?
Yes. Distance from Columbus 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 Dent, 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.
