Send a nameplate photo and receive a firm number, usually the same day. There is no obligation.
Funds change hands before a single section leaves your property. There is no consignment and no waiting on a downstream resale.
You are never asked to test, energize, clean or repair the gear. Our team evaluates it from the nameplate photos and our own inspection.
Lowboys, flatbeds, cribbing, section separation and permits are billed to us. That cost is already priced into the offer you receive.
Disconnection coordination, dismantling, rigging out of the electrical room and loading are performed by our crews at our expense.

We pay upfront, require no testing, and cover the freight, rigging and teardown at our own cost — the same terms on every purchase regardless of who built the equipment.

What moves the number on Powell Industries equipment
- Bus amperage, and whether it is a standard rating.
- Voltage class. 480V and 15kV resell fastest.
- Copper versus aluminum bus, which is often a large difference.
- Whether the breakers are still installed in their cubicles.
- Breaker type: drawout air and vacuum outperform fixed molded case.
- Indoor versus outdoor service history and weather exposure.

Selling Powell Industries switchgear
Straight answers
Do you only buy Powell Industries switchgear?
No. We buy gear from every manufacturer. Brand affects the resale pool and therefore the price, but it never determines whether we are interested.
My Powell Industries nameplate is unreadable. Is that a problem?
Not a serious one. Photograph the lineup anyway. Construction, cubicle layout, breaker frames and bus arrangement tell us a great deal, and we can often identify the rating from other markings inside the gear.
Is older Powell Industries gear worth anything?
Frequently yes. Age matters far less than amperage, voltage class and condition. Equipment from the 1960s and 1970s was built heavy, and much of it is still in service today, which keeps demand for spare sections and breakers alive.
