Electrical Transformer Buyers
A direct buyer of electrical transformers nationwide — pad-mount, dry-type, cast coil, unit substation and isolation units, from 75 kVA through 10 MVA. We de-energize, disconnect, rig, load and pay before the truck leaves your site.

What we buy
Pad-mount and unit substation
Oil-filled pad-mount transformers and unit substations from 75 kVA through 10 MVA, loop-feed or radial, with or without their primary switching. These are the units sitting on a pad outside the building or in a vault feeding the service entrance. We test for PCB content, handle oil containment during the move, and provide the manifests that go with it.
Dry-type and cast coil
Ventilated dry-type and cast-coil transformers from 15 kVA through 3 MVA, including the 480V-to-208V step-down units feeding PDUs and the K-rated units specified for harmonic loads. Dry-types move easily and resell quickly, so they usually carry a strong number relative to their weight.
Isolation, K-rated and specialty
Isolation transformers built into PDUs and RPPs, K-4 through K-20 rated units, drive isolation transformers, harmonic mitigating transformers and three-phase autotransformers. If it is copper or aluminum wound and it stepped voltage in your facility, it is in scope.
Manufacturers we see most
We buy all major manufacturers, and brand matters mainly because it determines who else wants the equipment. Common names move fastest: Square D, Eaton/Cutler-Hammer, GE/ABB, Siemens, Hammond, Federal Pacific, Acme, Jefferson, Howard, Olsun. Unusual brands are still purchased; they simply price against a thinner buyer pool.
How the number is built
Transformer value is driven by kVA, winding material, voltage class and condition, and copper-wound units are worth meaningfully more than aluminum. Nameplate photos are the single most useful thing you can send us — they resolve kVA, primary and secondary voltage, impedance and winding material in one shot.
Removal cost is stated inside the offer rather than hidden in the price. You see what the equipment is worth and what the work costs, which is the only way to compare us honestly against a quote that excludes removal.
What you are actually buying from us
We do the decommissioning
Our crews rack out the hardware, de-energize and pull the electrical distribution, recover refrigerant, drain glycol, cut and cap piping, and break down containment and cabinets. You are not hiring a broker who then hires a rigger who then hires a hauler. One company, one point of contact, one insurance certificate.
We do the loading
Rigging, lift and crane work, dock plates, pallets, stretch wrap, load bars, straps and the trucks themselves are ours. Overhead busway comes down on lifts. Generators and chillers go out on cranes. Servers leave palletized and manifested. Nothing about the load-out becomes your problem.
Payment before the truck leaves
You are paid in full before equipment leaves your dock — wire, company check or cashier's check, your choice. No consignment, no percentage of eventual resale, no invoice you have to chase. The racks stay where they are until the money has landed.
Drive destruction, documented
Every data-bearing device is degaussed and physically destroyed, on your floor if you prefer. You receive a certificate of destruction listing serial numbers and a chain-of-custody record signed at each handoff, formatted so your audit team can reconcile it against your asset register.
The room is left clean
Floor tiles reset, penetrations patched, abandoned cable removed, debris hauled, and the space swept. Where a landlord or lease requires a specific restoration standard, we work to it and document the result with photographs before and after.
Written offers that hold
Quotes are written, itemized by category, and hold for thirty days. If your process needs a formal bid document, a W-9, a certificate of insurance naming your entity, or a purchase order reference on the offer, say so and it is on the paperwork.
Also in the room
Electrical equipment rarely leaves alone. Where a data hall or plant is coming down, we buy the IT, cooling and infrastructure with it:
