Two used green transformers chained and strapped down on a flatbed trailer, loaded out and ready to haul — bought in National Harbor, MD — Chained down on our flatbed · our freight, our cost

01Paid Upfront

You are paid before the transformer leaves your property. No consignment, no waiting on a resale.

02No Testing Needed

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.

04We Do Teardown

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

What we buy in National Harbor

Every class of transformer is in scope. The units we see most often coming out of National Harbor and the wider Maryland market include 225 kVA three-phase pad-mounts, pole-mount distribution units in bulk lots, 150 kVA units from a municipal pump station, 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 school and municipal facilities departments, hospital and campus engineering groups, oil and gas service yards, solar and wind EPC firms with leftover units and water and wastewater treatment authorities.

Often because the site is being demolished and everything has to go.
Often because a storm replacement arrived and the damaged unit needs to go.
Often because capacity was upsized and the previous unit is now spare.
Often because a voltage conversion left the old unit stranded.

Getting a truck into National Harbor

Our trucks already run through Baltimore, so a pickup in National Harbor rarely needs a special trip. If a utility disconnect has to happen first, we can coordinate the timing with your electrician.

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

National Harbor transformer selling questions

Straight answers

Do you actually come to National Harbor to pick up transformers?

Yes. Our trucks already run through Baltimore, so a pickup in National Harbor rarely needs a special trip. 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 National Harbor, 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.
