Buying Used Transformers in Prescott, AZ
Old transformers pulled anywhere in Prescott get bought outright here, including units nobody bothered to test. Prescott, AZ sits inside the Arizona territory one of our buyers covers directly.
We will work around your outage window, your plant schedule or your landlord's access hours. Pickup gets scheduled to suit you.
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 industrial auctioneers with unsold lots, manufacturers consolidating two plants into one, commercial property managers doing a tenant retrofit, hospital and campus engineering groups and warehouse and distribution center owners.
- 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 lease is ending and the yard has to be cleared.
- Often because the tenant left and the service was oversized for the next one.
Getting a truck into Prescott
Our trucks already run through Phoenix, so a pickup in Prescott 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 Prescott. 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 Prescott 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.

Prescott transformer selling questions
Straight answers
Do you actually come to Prescott to pick up transformers?
Yes. Our trucks already run through Phoenix, so a pickup in Prescott 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 Prescott, 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.
