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.
What we look for in outdoor switchgear
Outdoor switchgear lives in a weatherproof enclosure on a pad or a skid, either walk-in with an interior aisle or non-walk-in with exterior doors on every section. We buy it as it sits, including lineups that have been weathering in a yard since the plant that fed them shut down.
Weather exposure does not disqualify a lineup. Surface rust, faded paint, a pried-open door, a missing lock, standing water in the bottom of an enclosure: none of that stops us from buying. What we care about is the breakers, the bus and the structure, and those survive outdoor storage far better than most sellers expect.
Pad-mounted and skid-mounted lineups are actually easier for us to remove than indoor gear, because there is crane access and no doorway to negotiate. That access advantage often shows up in the offer, since our rigging cost is lower.
| Enclosure types | Walk-in, non-walk-in, pad-mount, skid-mount |
|---|---|

| Weather damage | Rust, faded paint and water intrusion accepted |

Straight answers
Do you buy outdoor switchgear in any condition?
Yes. Still quoted and still purchased We do not require testing, cleaning or repairs.
How do you decide what to offer?
Amperage, voltage class, manufacturer, bus material, breaker type and overall condition, weighed against what that specific combination is worth on the resale market right now.
Who handles removal?
We do, at our cost. That includes disconnection coordination, teardown, section separation, rigging, permits and freight.
How fast can you pick up?
Usually within a week or two of agreeing on a price, and faster if you have a hard deadline like a demolition date or a lease expiration.
