Data center equipment buyers in Lucas

A data hall retirement in Lucas usually involves three trades: an electrician to de-energize and disconnect, a rigger to move heavy power and cooling equipment, and a hauler to get it off site. Coordinating three vendors around one shutdown window is where these projects go sideways. We collapse all three into one contract and pay you for the equipment on top of it.

02

What Texas conditions mean for your number

The Infomart and 2323 Bryan Street in Dallas anchor one of the largest interconnection markets in the country, ERCOT's separate grid shapes how power infrastructure is specified and retired, and Gulf Coast ports plus five interstate corridors make Texas the easiest large state to move heavy equipment out of. In practical terms, Lucas projects benefit from that density: we already run crews through Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, Austin and San Antonio, so mobilization is a scheduling question rather than a cost problem.

03

What we buy in Lucas

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

If the Lucas room is still carrying load, we phase it. Typically that means IT and racks first, then distribution, then the power and cooling plant once the last circuit is dead. We write the phasing into the offer so nobody is improvising in the hall at 2am.

05

How the offer is built

Batteries deserve a specific note. VRLA strings usually carry scrap value we credit back to you; lithium cabinets have different handling and transportation requirements that we account for explicitly. Either way the batteries come out of your Lucas room as part of the scope, properly manifested, not left behind for someone else to deal with.

06

Data security and compliance

If your Lucas 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.

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 if the equipment is older or has no maintenance records?
We still quote it. Records raise the number — a genset with load bank results or a UPS with a current service contract is worth more — but their absence does not disqualify anything. We price Lucas equipment on what our technicians and the resale market say it is worth.
Are you insured for work inside our Lucas facility?
Yes. We carry general liability, auto, workers' compensation and umbrella coverage, and we issue a certificate naming your entity as additional insured before crews arrive in Lucas. We also complete vendor onboarding, background checks and site-specific safety orientation on request.
Can you work nights and weekends in Lucas?
Regularly. Most data center removals happen outside business hours because that is when load can be transferred and freight elevators are free. Night, weekend and holiday windows in Lucas are normal scheduling for us, not a premium service.
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 Lucas 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 Lucas site establishes the rigging path before we commit to a date, and the cost is already inside the offer.
