Busway Buyers

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.

busway — surveyed, disconnected, rigged and hauled by our own crews.
01

What we buy: Busway

Full runs bought as a system

Straight lengths, end feed units, elbows, tees, expansion joints, hangers and every plug-in tap-off box on the run. Busway prices best as a complete system because a buyer downstream can re-lay it without hunting for matching fittings. We map the run before we quote so nothing gets left dangling from the ceiling.

Tap boxes carry the value

The plug-in tap-off boxes — the breakered units that drop to your cabinets — are frequently worth more per unit than the track they hang on. Metered and monitored tap boxes especially. Count them before you assume a run is not worth selling.

De-energizing and removal

Busway removal is overhead work on lifts, in an occupied ceiling shared with tray, sprinkler and fiber. Our crews de-energize, verify absence of voltage, unbolt the joint packs, and lower sections in order. Cable tray and ceiling grid go back the way we found them.

Manufacturers

Most common in this category: Starline, Universal Electric, Eaton Pow-R-Way, Siemens, Schneider I-Line, ABB.

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.

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

Frequently asked questions

Do you buy busway that is still installed?
Most of what we buy is still installed and often still energized when we first see it. We coordinate the outage, de-energize, disconnect and remove.
What information do you need to quote busway?
Make, model and quantity, plus 225 a – 5000 a runs where it applies. Nameplate photographs are the single most useful thing you can send.
Which manufacturers do you buy?
All of them. Most common in this category: Starline, Universal Electric, Eaton Pow-R-Way, Siemens, Schneider I-Line, ABB. Unusual brands still get purchased, they simply price against a thinner buyer pool.
Do you take the whole room or just this category?
Either. We would rather buy the room complete, because mixed lots are how projects finish cleanly, but a single category is a normal purchase.
When do we get paid?
Before the equipment leaves your dock — wire, company check or cashier's check, per load on phased projects.
