Why Sellers Choose Us

What a Berlin switchgear sale involves on your end

01You Are Paid Before It Moves

Funds change hands before a single section leaves your property. There is no consignment and no waiting on a downstream resale.

02No Testing Is Required

You are never asked to test, energize, clean or repair the gear. Our team evaluates it from the nameplate photos and our own inspection.

03We Cover Freight and Rigging

Lowboys, flatbeds, cribbing, section separation and permits are billed to us. That cost is already priced into the offer you receive.

04Our Crews Handle Teardown

Disconnection coordination, dismantling, rigging out of the electrical room and loading are performed by our crews at our expense.

The Berlin Market

A switchgear lineup standing in a Berlin building is an asset, not a disposal bill. We buy it where it sits. Wisconsin sellers get the same terms as anywhere else we operate: paid first, freight on us. We quote from photos and a nameplate, pay on pickup, and cover the rigging and freight ourselves.

Every class of distribution equipment is in scope. What we see most often in Berlin is motor control centers with full starter buckets and 2000A main-tie-main lineups from a light industrial park. Across Wisconsin we also buy MCC sections with VFD buckets still installed, 3000A drawout switchgear pulled during a service upgrade and molded case breakers by the pallet, untested.

Who We Buy From

Our sellers here are typically industrial auctioneers with unsold lots, mining and aggregate operations, manufacturers consolidating two plants into one. We also buy from demolition crews stripping a site and cold storage and food processing plants.

Most sales trace back to one of a few situations:

  • An arc flash study recommended replacing gear that was past its maintainable life.
  • A service upgrade left the original lineup stranded at the wrong amperage.
  • The plant closed and remaining assets are being liquidated.
  • Spare breakers were purchased years ago for a project that never proceeded.

Pickup and Freight in Berlin

We stage flatbeds and lowboys near Milwaukee and dispatch into Berlin as loads fill. If the housekeeping pad has to stay intact, we can cut the anchors and lift without tearing it up.

The gear is valued on its own merits. The cost of getting it out of Berlin is absorbed on our side. Sellers who already hold a scrap quote often find the difference substantial, because a scrap figure deducts hauling and ignores what the breakers, buckets and bus are worth to somebody who needs them.

How the Sale Works

Four steps, none of which cost you anything

  1. Send What You Have

    A photograph of the nameplate and one wide shot down the front of the lineup is enough to begin. If the nameplate is gone, photograph the gear anyway and we will work from the construction, the bus and the breaker frames.

  2. Receive a Firm Offer

    We respond with a committed cash figure, usually the same day. It is an offer rather than an estimate, and it does not move afterward.

  3. Schedule on Your Terms

    Pickup in Berlin is arranged around your outage window, plant shutdown or building access hours. Where a utility disconnect has to happen first, we coordinate the timing.

  4. We Pay, Then We Haul

    Payment is completed before anything moves. Our crew performs the teardown, the section separation, the rigging and the loading, and our truck removes it.

Selling Switchgear in Berlin: Common Questions

Straight answers

Do you actually come to Berlin to pick up switchgear?

Yes. We stage flatbeds and lowboys near Milwaukee and dispatch into Berlin as loads fill. We do not ask you to arrange freight, separate sections or deliver anything to us.

Do I need to have the gear tested first?

No. Testing is never a condition of our offer. We assess a lineup from photos, the nameplate and our own inspection at pickup.

What if the breakers have already been pulled out?

We still buy it. A complete lineup with its breakers installed is worth more, but empty structures have real value in bus and steel, and loose breakers sitting on a shelf are worth quoting on their own. Tell us what is still there and what has already gone.

When do I get paid?

Before anything leaves your property. Payment is not contingent on us reselling the equipment afterward.

Will you buy a single section in Berlin, or only full lineups?

Both. One switchboard section is worth a call, and if you have a full electrical room or several buildings coming down we will quote the entire lot as one purchase.

What if the lineup is still energized and in service?

That is normal. Tell us and we will coordinate the disconnection timing with your electrician or the utility, then handle the teardown and rigging ourselves.
