Data center equipment buyers in Citrus
The equipment in a decommissioned Citrus facility has real residual value, and it is almost always higher than a scrap yard will tell you. Modular UPS power modules, low-mileage gensets, recent-generation chillers, current server platforms and clean busway all resell into a working secondary market. We pay against that market, then subtract our own removal cost openly rather than burying it.
What California conditions mean for your number
We treat California as one service area rather than a list of cities. Crews moving between Santa Clara, San Jose, Los Angeles, Sacramento and San Diego pass through Citrus regularly, which is why a single UPS or a couple of cabinets is still worth quoting here — we can add it to an existing run instead of pricing a dedicated trip.
What we buy in Citrus
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, floorHow a project runs
For Citrus 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.
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 Citrus site rather than discovering it halfway through demolition.
Data security and compliance
If your Citrus facility handles regulated data — patient records under HIPAA, cardholder data under PCI, student records under FERPA, or federal workloads — tell us at the quote stage. We adjust the scope so drive handling, escorting and reporting satisfy your auditor rather than retrofitting compliance after the fact.
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.
