Data Center Equipment Removal
Getting a 4,000-pound UPS frame out of a basement, down a corridor and onto a trailer is the part nobody wants to own. We own it — and because we are also buying the equipment, the removal is usually funded by its value.

Access is the whole job
Before we commit to a date we survey the path: dock height and hours, freight elevator capacity and interior dimensions, door widths, corridor turns, floor loading limits, ramp grades and whether a crane or a stair-climbing skate is required. Large UPS frames, transformers and gensets frequently have to be disassembled to pass an elevator, and that labor belongs in the plan rather than in a change order.
We also settle the human constraints: badge and escort requirements, permitted working hours, elevator reservations, protection for finished floors and walls, and how waste and packaging leave the building.
What we remove
UPS Systems
We buy three-phase uninterruptible power supplies out of live and decommissioned white space: modular frames, monolithic units, matching battery cabinets and the static switches that go with them.
10 kVA – 2.5 MVA modulesFloor-mount, RPP and rack PDUsPDUs
Floor-mount PDUs with integral transformers, remote power panels, and metered or switched rack PDUs by the pallet — we buy all three tiers of distribution.
50 kVA – 1000 kVA floor unitsOverhead track, tap boxes, elbowsBusway
Overhead busway is the most reusable thing in a white space and the most commonly thrown away. We buy full runs, tap-off boxes, elbows and end feeds.
225 A – 5000 A runsLV and MV, ATS, breakersSwitchgear
Low-voltage lineups, medium-voltage metal-clad gear, automatic transfer switches and loose breakers — bought as complete lineups or section by section.
480 V – 38 kV lineupsDiesel and gas, enclosed or openGenerators
Standby diesel and natural gas generator sets, sub-base and belly tanks, paralleling gear and radiator packages — running or not.
100 kW – 3 MW standby setsAir-cooled, water-cooled, CRAH/CRACChillers
Air-cooled and water-cooled chillers, cooling towers, CRAC and CRAH units, pumps and dry coolers — the whole mechanical plant.
50 – 2000 ton capacityCompute, storage, network, GPUServers
Rackmount compute, storage arrays, network gear and GPU nodes — bought by the rack or by the hall, with documented data destruction.
Single racks – full hallsEverything the equipment sits inData Center Infrastructure
Cabinets, containment, cable tray, raised floor, fiber and copper plant — the structure everything else was mounted in.
Cabinets, tray, containment, floorSite condition at handover
Every project ends with the space swept, packaging and debris removed, penetrations documented, and grounding and bracing hardware taken out. Where the lease requires more — floor or ceiling restoration, patching, painting — we scope it explicitly against the actual lease language rather than guessing at what the landlord will accept.
