Who sells to us here
Our sellers in this market are typically plant maintenance managers after a voltage upgrade, manufacturers consolidating two plants into one, electrical supply houses moving old inventory, school and municipal facilities departments and mining and aggregate operations.
- Often because the tenant left and the service was oversized for the next one.
- Often because a storm replacement arrived and the damaged unit needs to go.
- Often because the site is being demolished and everything has to go.
- Often because a spare was bought years ago and never installed.
Getting a truck into East Rancho Dominguez
Because we haul our own freight out of the Inland Empire, we do not have to shave the offer to cover a third-party carrier. Roof-level and mezzanine units are not a problem; we plan the pick before we quote.
Distance is our problem, not yours. We quote the transformer on what it is worth, then absorb the cost of getting it out of East Rancho Dominguez. 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.

Pickup in East Rancho Dominguez 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.

East Rancho Dominguez transformer selling questions
Straight answers
Do you actually come to East Rancho Dominguez to pick up transformers?
Yes. Because we haul our own freight out of the Inland Empire, we do not have to shave the offer to cover a third-party carrier. 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 East Rancho Dominguez, 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.
