What we buy in Hillandale

Every class of transformer is in scope. The units we see most often coming out of Hillandale and the wider Maryland market include 225 kVA three-phase pad-mounts, 150 kVA units from a municipal pump station, 75 kVA pad-mount units off a retail pad, 1000 kVA units pulled during a service upgrade and matched pairs of 750 kVA pad-mounts.

Who sells to us here

Our sellers in this market are typically oil and gas service yards, plant maintenance managers after a voltage upgrade, commercial property managers doing a tenant retrofit, data center operators replacing capacity and hospital and campus engineering groups.

Often because a PCB concern made keeping the unit unattractive.
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 utility took over the service and the customer-owned unit is idle.

Getting a truck into Hillandale

Getting a lowboy into Hillandale is routine for us. Tight yards, alley access and indoor vault pulls included. If the pad has to stay intact, we can cut and lift without tearing it up.

Distance is our problem, not yours. We quote the transformer on what it is worth, then absorb the cost of getting it out of Hillandale. 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.

Send the nameplate and a photo. Same-day number.

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 Hillandale 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.

Hillandale transformer selling questions

Straight answers

Do you actually come to Hillandale to pick up transformers?

Yes. Getting a lowboy into Hillandale is routine for us. Tight yards, alley access and indoor vault pulls included. 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 Hillandale, 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.
