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.
Selling switchgear is unlike selling most other surplus equipment. A lineup is bolted together in sections, it is heavy, it is frequently still energised, and getting it out of a building usually means separating sections and rigging them through a door that was never designed to pass them. That combination is why so much decommissioned gear sits in place for years after it stops serving load: the owner cannot easily sell it and cannot cheaply dispose of it either.
We remove both halves of that problem. We buy the lineup as it sits, with no testing and no cleanup on your end, and we pay you before it leaves your property. The disconnection coordination, the teardown, the section separation, the rigging and the freight are our cost and our responsibility.
The practical first step is a photograph. Send us the nameplate and one wide shot down the front of the lineup, and you will usually have a firm number the same day. If the nameplate is gone or painted over, photograph the gear anyway; the construction, the cubicle layout, the bus arrangement and the breaker frames tell us a great deal.
What you should not do first
- Do not call a scrap yard before you know the resale value. Scrap is a floor, not a price.
- Do not pull the breakers out and pile them separately. A lineup with its breakers still in their cubicles is worth materially more.
- Do not let anyone cut the bus out for the copper. That converts a resale-grade lineup into scrap in an afternoon.
- Do not pay a rigger to break the sections apart and set them outside. That cost belongs to the buyer, and we absorb it.
- Do not discard the nameplate data, the single-line drawing or any test reports you have.

What happens after you accept
We confirm the pickup window against your schedule, send our own crew and equipment, and pay you before anything moves. If a utility or licensed electrician disconnect has to happen first, we coordinate the timing. If the sections have to come apart to clear a doorway or an elevator, we do that work rather than asking you to arrange it.
Medium voltage lineups are treated with the care they require. We verify the gear is de-energised and grounded before our crew touches it, and we work to your site's lockout procedure rather than our own.

Questions we get asked
Straight answers
Do you charge anything to quote or to remove the gear?
No. Quoting is free and removal is our cost. If you accept our number, nothing comes out of your pocket at any stage.
How quickly can this happen?
A number usually comes back the same day you send photos. Pickup is typically within one to two weeks, and faster when you have a demolition date or lease deadline driving it.
What if I only have one section or a few breakers?
That is still worth a call. Small quantities are frequently best combined into a lot, but we buy single sections and loose breakers routinely.
Do you buy switchgear in every state?
Yes, all 50 states and the District of Columbia. We stage freight regionally, so location affects our scheduling rather than your price.
