What we buy in Vancleave

Every class of transformer is in scope. The units we see most often coming out of Vancleave and the wider Mississippi market include 500 kVA pad-mounts from a light industrial park, 112.5 kVA dry-types from a tenant build-out, unit substations with the transformer still attached, 225 kVA three-phase pad-mounts and 75 kVA pad-mount units off a retail pad.

Who sells to us here

Our sellers in this market are typically general contractors on an adaptive-reuse project, cold storage and food processing plants, solar and wind EPC firms with leftover units, hospital and campus engineering groups and plant maintenance managers after a voltage upgrade.

  • Often because the plant closed and assets are being liquidated.
  • Often because a spare was bought years ago and never installed.
  • Often because a voltage conversion left the old unit stranded.
  • Often because an insurance inspection flagged an oil-filled unit indoors.

Getting a truck into Vancleave

Distance from Jackson does not change what we pay. It changes our margin, not your number. We can work inside an active facility without shutting your operation down.

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

Vancleave transformer selling questions

Straight answers

Do you actually come to Vancleave to pick up transformers?

Yes. Distance from Jackson does not change what we pay. It changes our margin, not your number. 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 Vancleave, 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.
