New York Transformer Buyers
We buy used, surplus and decommissioned transformers everywhere in New York — from single pad-mount units behind a strip center to full substation lineups at a closed plant. Payment is upfront and we cover the freight, the rigging and the teardown.
Our trucks stage out of Syracuse for this market, which means pickups across New York are routine runs rather than special trips. That keeps our cost down, and it is why we can pay more than a local scrap yard for the same unit.
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.

Why New York sellers call us
Most transformers get retired for one of a handful of reasons: a service upgrade, a change of building ownership, a plant closure, a demolition, or an insurance inspection that flagged an oil-filled unit sitting indoors. In every one of those cases the owner ends up with a large, heavy, awkward asset and no obvious way to convert it.
Scrapping is the default, and it is usually the wrong call. A scrap price reflects metal weight minus the yard's hauling cost. Our price reflects what the transformer is worth to somebody who needs that rating and voltage, which for a serviceable unit is frequently several times the scrap number. We also buy genuine scrap-grade units, so there is no downside to asking first.

Straight answers
How much of New York do you cover?
All of it. We list 360 New York cities and towns, and we buy outside those too — the list is for navigation, not a limit on our service area.
Do you charge for pickup or freight?
No. Freight, rigging, cribbing, permits and escorts are our cost, and they are already accounted for in the offer we give you.
What size transformers do you buy in New York?
Everything from 15 kVA dry-types up through multi-MVA station and power transformers. Small units are best sold as a lot; large units are worth a call on their own.
Will you buy transformers that have sat outside for years?
Yes. Surface rust, a pried-open cabinet, missing bushings or a weathered nameplate do not disqualify a unit.
Transformers to move in New York?
One unit or a whole substation. Call or text.
