Data center equipment buyers in Catalina Foothills

Getting equipment out of a live Catalina Foothills building is a different job from buying it out of a warehouse. Freight elevators have weight limits, docks have hours, hospitals and trading floors have loads that cannot blink, and someone has to own the sequence. We survey first, write the sequence into the offer, and then execute it.

02

What Arizona conditions mean for your number

Our Arizona routing is built around I-10, I-17, I-8 and Loop 202, which keeps trailer and crew cost predictable for Catalina Foothills projects. Utility territory matters too — APS, Salt River Project, Tucson Electric Power each have their own switching and disconnect expectations, and we have worked inside them. Greater Phoenix is one of the fastest-growing colocation markets in the country, and heavy new build means constant tenant churn and generation-over-generation equipment refresh.

What we buy in Catalina Foothills

Three-phase, modular and monolithic

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 modules
Floor-mount, RPP and rack PDUs

PDUs

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 units
Overhead track, tap boxes, elbows

Busway

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 runs
LV and MV, ATS, breakers

Switchgear

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 lineups
Diesel and gas, enclosed or open

Generators

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 sets
Air-cooled, water-cooled, CRAH/CRAC

Chillers

Air-cooled and water-cooled chillers, cooling towers, CRAC and CRAH units, pumps and dry coolers — the whole mechanical plant.

50 – 2000 ton capacity
Compute, storage, network, GPU

Servers

Rackmount compute, storage arrays, network gear and GPU nodes — bought by the rack or by the hall, with documented data destruction.

Single racks – full halls
Everything the equipment sits in

Data Center Infrastructure

Cabinets, containment, cable tray, raised floor, fiber and copper plant — the structure everything else was mounted in.

How a project runs

For Catalina Foothills sites we quote two ways when it helps: a single number for the room as it sits, and a line-by-line itemization so you can see what the UPS, the gensets, the chillers and the IT are each contributing. Some teams need the lump sum for approval speed; others need the detail for asset records. You can have both.

05

How the offer is built

In some cases the equipment value exceeds our removal cost and you receive a payment; in others, on older or heavily stripped rooms, the removal cost exceeds the value and the project nets toward zero or a modest fee. We tell you which one you are looking at up front for your Catalina Foothills site rather than discovering it halfway through demolition.

06

Data security and compliance

Nothing leaves a Catalina Foothills site undocumented. Asset tags and serials are recorded as equipment comes out, drives are separated and handled under their own chain of custody, and you receive a reconciled report that your security team can file against the original asset register.

07

What you are actually buying from us

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

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.

05

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.

06

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.

Frequently asked questions

We are on an upper floor with a small freight elevator. Is that a problem?
It is a routine problem. Large UPS frames, transformers and gensets often have to be disassembled to pass elevator weight limits and door widths. Our survey of your Catalina Foothills site establishes the rigging path before we commit to a date, and the cost is already inside the offer.
Do you actually buy data center equipment in Catalina Foothills, or just broker it?
We buy it. Data Center Equipment Buyer is the purchaser of record — we fund the purchase, we send our own crews to Catalina Foothills to decommission and load, and we take title when the equipment leaves your dock. There is no third-party buyer waiting behind us to approve the price.
What is the smallest job you will take in Catalina Foothills?
A single UPS, one generator, a few PDUs or a handful of cabinets is worth a call. Because we route crews across Arizona continuously, small Catalina Foothills pickups can usually be added to an existing run rather than priced as a dedicated trip.
How fast can you get to a Catalina Foothills site?
Written offers go out the same business day in almost every case. Once an offer is accepted, typical mobilization to Catalina Foothills is a few business days for straightforward removals and one to two weeks for large halls that need phased shutdowns, rigging plans or landlord coordination.
Do you handle the decommissioning, or do we have to shut it down first?
We handle it. Our crews rack out IT, de-energize and remove distribution, recover refrigerant under EPA rules, drain and cap glycol loops, break down containment and cabinets, and sweep the space. If the Catalina Foothills room is still live we phase the work so load transfers cleanly.
How do you handle drives and data in Catalina Foothills?
Drives are separated and tracked by serial number. You choose NIST 800-88 wiping, degaussing or physical shredding, and shredding can happen on site in Catalina Foothills if your policy requires it. You receive a serialized certificate of destruction reconciled against your asset list.
