Data center equipment buyers in Mount Sterling

A data hall retirement in Mount Sterling 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 Kentucky conditions mean for your number

Mount Sterling sits in Kentucky, where LG&E, Kentucky Utilities, Kenergy, TVA feed the load and I-65, I-64, I-71 and I-75 carry the freight. That matters to your number: a site close to those corridors is cheaper for us to service, and the savings show up in the offer rather than in our margin. Louisville, Lexington and Covington are our routine stops, and Mount Sterling work routes with them.

What we buy in Mount Sterling

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

The sequence for a Mount Sterling project is short. You send an asset list or a few photos. We come back the same business day with a written, itemized offer and a proposed removal window. If you accept, we survey access — dock, freight elevator, door widths, floor loading, whether the room is still live — then mobilize, de-energize, rack out, rig, load and sweep. You get payment before the trailer leaves and settlement documentation after.

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 Mount Sterling room as part of the scope, properly manifested, not left behind for someone else to deal with.

06

Data security and compliance

If your Mount Sterling 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.

Transformers, switchgear and general electrical apparatus are bought under dedicated programs, on the same terms:

Frequently asked questions

Do you actually buy data center equipment in Mount Sterling, 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 Mount Sterling 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 Mount Sterling?
A single UPS, one generator, a few PDUs or a handful of cabinets is worth a call. Because we route crews across Kentucky continuously, small Mount Sterling pickups can usually be added to an existing run rather than priced as a dedicated trip.
How fast can you get to a Mount Sterling site?
Written offers go out the same business day in almost every case. Once an offer is accepted, typical mobilization to Mount Sterling 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 Mount Sterling room is still live we phase the work so load transfers cleanly.
How do you handle drives and data in Mount Sterling?
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 Mount Sterling if your policy requires it. You receive a serialized certificate of destruction reconciled against your asset list.
When do we get paid?
Before the equipment leaves your Mount Sterling dock. Wire, company check or cashier's check, whichever your accounting department prefers. On large phased projects we pay per load as it ships rather than holding everything to the end.
