Buying data center equipment in North Carolina

We purchase retired and surplus data center equipment throughout North Carolina, from single units to complete halls. Charlotte's banking data centers and Research Triangle enterprise and university computing produce a steady stream of audit-documented retirements. Our own crews handle de-energization, rack-out, rigging, loading and haul-off, so the offer you accept is the whole scope rather than the first line of it.

Power in North Carolina generally comes through Duke Energy Carolinas, Duke Energy Progress, Dominion, and freight moves on I-85, I-40, I-77 and I-95. Both facts sit inside the number we quote: utility coordination sets the schedule, corridor access sets the removal cost. Our busiest North Carolina markets are Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham and Greensboro.

What we buy

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 modulesFloor-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 unitsOverhead 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 runsLV 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 lineupsDiesel 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 setsAir-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 capacityCompute, 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 hallsEverything the equipment sits in

Data Center Infrastructure

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

Cabinets, tray, containment, floor

Electrical equipment programs

Alongside data center work we run dedicated buying programs for electrical apparatus, which frequently comes out of the same project:

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

Do you have crews in North Carolina?
We mobilize our own crews to North Carolina rather than subcontracting the work to a local rigger we have never met. Distance shows up in the removal line of the offer, not in whether we take the job.
Which North Carolina utilities do you coordinate with?
We work around whichever utility feeds the site — in North Carolina that is usually Duke Energy Carolinas, Duke Energy Progress, Dominion. Where the service entrance, primary switchgear or a utility-owned transformer is involved, the utility has to schedule the cut, and we plan the removal around their date.
How does freight work out of North Carolina?
I-85, I-40, I-77 and I-95 carry most of what leaves North Carolina. Sites near those corridors are cheaper for us to service and the saving is reflected in the number rather than kept.
Do you buy a single unit or only whole rooms?
Both. A single UPS, transformer or chiller is a normal purchase. We prefer whole rooms because mixed lots let the valuable equipment carry the low-value material, which is what makes a project finish clean.
When do we get paid?
Before the equipment leaves your dock — wire, company check or cashier's check. On phased projects, per load.
Can you handle regulated data from a North Carolina facility?
Yes. Drives are inventoried by serial and destroyed on site or at our facility under video, with a certificate listing every serial number. Tell us your compliance regime at the quote stage.
