Used Transformer Buyers

Condition matters less than most sellers expect. Surface rust, a pried-open cabinet, missing elbows, a weeping gasket or a decade of sitting outside do not disqualify a unit. What matters is whether the core and coil are intact and whether the rating and voltages match something the market wants.

We also buy units that are not serviceable, priced on metal content. The reason to call before you scrap is simple: sellers routinely scrap units we would have paid several times scrap value for, and that decision cannot be reversed.

Used units we buy regularly

• Pad-mounts pulled during a service upgrade or site redevelopment.
• Oil-filled substation transformers from closed or downsized plants.
• Dry-type and cast-coil units out of mechanical rooms and tenant build-outs.
• Unused spares that were bought years ago and never installed.
• Storm-damaged units replaced under insurance.
• Entire laydown yards and liquidation lots as a single purchase.

What happens after you accept

We confirm the pickup window against your schedule, send our own crew and equipment, and pay you before anything moves. If a utility disconnect has to happen first we coordinate the timing with your electrician. If the pad has to stay intact we cut and lift without tearing it up.

Oil-filled units are handled under the appropriate rules for their PCB status. If the nameplate does not confirm non-PCB, we treat the unit as presumed-contaminated, price the correct disposal path in, and tell you plainly which category yours falls into.
