We buy switchgear in Clive, IA and throughout Iowa. There is no obligation.
Why Sellers Choose Us
What a Clive switchgear sale involves on your end
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.
Switchgear We Buy in Clive
Every class is in scope, from branch panelboards to metal-clad medium voltage lineups
The Clive Market
Decommissioned switchgear in Clive does not have to be scrapped at metal price. We pay resale value on gear that still has it. Your location inside Iowa affects our routing, not the value we place on the equipment. Sellers are rarely asked to do more than grant site access. Teardown, section separation, rigging and transport are handled by our crews at our cost.
Every class of distribution equipment is in scope. What we see most often in Clive is 1200A 480V switchboards out of a retail service and panelboards in bulk lots off a gut renovation. Across Iowa we also buy 2000A main-tie-main lineups from a light industrial park, pad-mounted outdoor lineups from a plant yard and 15kV metal-clad lineups with vacuum breakers.
Who We Buy From
Our sellers here are typically property owners who inherited gear with a building, hospital and campus engineering groups, cold storage and food processing plants. We also buy from school and municipal facilities departments and solar and wind EPC firms with leftover equipment.
In practice, a handful of scenarios account for nearly every sale:
- The manufacturer discontinued the line, so parts support ended and the lineup was replaced wholesale.
- The plant closed and remaining assets are being liquidated.
- A flood or storm replacement has arrived and the damaged gear needs to be removed.
- A cancelled or downsized build left new gear crated and never installed.
Pickup and Freight in Clive
Getting a lowboy into Clive is routine for us. Tight electrical rooms, alley access and basement pulls included. If a utility disconnect has to happen first, we can coordinate the timing with your electrician.
The gear is valued on its own merits. The cost of getting it out of Clive 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.

Send a nameplate photo and receive a firm number, usually the same day.
How the Sale Works
Four steps, none of which cost you anything
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.
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.
Schedule on Your Terms
Pickup in Clive is arranged around your outage window, plant shutdown or building access hours. Where a utility disconnect has to happen first, we coordinate the timing.
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 Clive: Common Questions
Straight answers
Do you actually come to Clive to pick up switchgear?
Yes. Getting a lowboy into Clive is routine for us. Tight electrical rooms, alley access and basement pulls included. 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 Clive, 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.
