Data center equipment buyers in Escanaba

We work with Escanaba colocation operators, hospital systems, universities, banks, manufacturers and government facilities on the same footing: send us what is in the room, we send back a number and a plan. If the site is sensitive we bring escorted crews, badge documentation and certified drive destruction with serialized reporting.

02

What Michigan conditions mean for your number

We treat Michigan as one service area rather than a list of cities. Crews moving between Detroit, Grand Rapids, Southfield and Lansing pass through Escanaba 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.

03

What we buy in Escanaba

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

Once you accept an offer in Escanaba we schedule around your shutdown window, not ours. Nights, weekends and phased removals are normal. Our crews arrive with their own rigging, lift equipment, refrigerant recovery gear and packaging, pull the equipment, protect the floor and leave the space broom clean for the landlord or the next tenant.

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 Escanaba site rather than discovering it halfway through demolition.

06

Data security and compliance

Data security is treated as a hard requirement, not a service add-on. Drives in Escanaba can be wiped to NIST 800-88 purge standards, degaussed, or physically shredded, on site if your policy requires it. Every serial number is captured and reported. Chain of custody is documented from the rack to the truck to the destruction record.

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

What do you do with the equipment after you buy it?
Working assets are tested, refurbished where needed and resold into the secondary market — that resale is what funds your offer. Equipment that cannot be returned to service is dismantled for component and material recovery through permitted downstream processors, with landfill diversion documented.
Do you buy equipment that is still under a service contract?
Yes, and we will coordinate with the OEM or service provider so contract termination and equipment transfer line up. Tell us at the quote stage which Escanaba assets have active coverage; occasionally a transferable contract increases what we can pay.
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 Escanaba 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 Escanaba, 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 Escanaba 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 Escanaba?
A single UPS, one generator, a few PDUs or a handful of cabinets is worth a call. Because we route crews across Michigan continuously, small Escanaba pickups can usually be added to an existing run rather than priced as a dedicated trip.
How fast can you get to a Escanaba site?
Written offers go out the same business day in almost every case. Once an offer is accepted, typical mobilization to Escanaba 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.
