Switchgear buyers in Boston
Switchgear coming out of a Boston facility is worth quoting even when it is old. Condition, generation and documentation move the number more than age alone, and we will tell you honestly whether your units resell into service or price closer to component and material recovery.
Our Massachusetts routing is built around I-90, I-93, I-95 and Route 128, which keeps trailer and crew cost predictable for Boston projects. Utility territory matters too — Eversource, National Grid, Unitil each have their own switching and disconnect expectations, and we have worked inside them. One Summer Street in Boston plus the Route 128 technology belt and university research computing clusters make Massachusetts a dense market for both IT fleets and mechanical plant.
What we buy: Switchgear
Lineups and sections
We buy low-voltage switchboards and switchgear from 480 V through medium-voltage metal-clad and metal-enclosed lineups to 38 kV. Drawout breaker cubicles, tie sections, main sections, and the relays and metering that go with them. A complete lineup with matching sections prices materially better than the same gear cut apart.
Transfer switches
Automatic and manual transfer switches, bypass isolation switches and closed-transition gear are consistently in demand from generator integrators. Amperage, transition type and controller generation drive the number. These are worth pulling carefully rather than torching.
Loose breakers and spares
Drawout air circuit breakers, molded case breakers, vacuum breakers and your spares shelf all get bought. Facilities routinely hold a cabinet of spare breakers matched to a lineup being retired — that shelf often carries more value than the seller expects.
How a project runs
Paperwork travels with the project: certificate of insurance naming your entity, W-9, a signed purchase agreement listing every asset and its price, serialized drive destruction certificates where drives are in scope, and weight tickets or a bill of lading for what leaves the Boston site. Facilities, security and finance each get the document they need.
How the offer is built
We do not lowball and then renegotiate on the dock, which is the most common complaint we hear about this industry. If the asset list you send matches what our crew finds in Boston, the written price is the price we pay. If it does not match — batteries missing, a unit already cannibalized, different model numbers — we show you exactly which line changed and why.
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.
