Why Sellers Choose Us

What a Franklin 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 Franklin Market

We are switchgear buyers, not brokers. Gear leaving Franklin gets bought with our own money and hauled on our own freight. We buy across Kentucky and dispatch into Franklin, KY off the Louisville lane. No testing is required. We evaluate condition ourselves and accept the gear as it sits, breakers and all.

Every class of distribution equipment is in scope. What we see most often in Franklin is panelboards in bulk lots off a gut renovation and 4000A paralleling switchgear from a standby plant. Across Kentucky we also buy arc-resistant lineups from a cancelled build, plug-in busway runs with bus plugs attached and molded case breakers by the pallet, untested.

Who We Buy From

Our sellers here are typically data center operators replacing distribution capacity, water and wastewater treatment authorities, general contractors on an adaptive-reuse project. We also buy from utility contractors with surplus stock and electrical supply houses moving old inventory.

The situations that put a switchgear lineup on the market look like this:

  • Service capacity was upsized, leaving the previous gear as an unneeded spare.
  • The building changed hands and the electrical equipment transferred with the property.
  • A ground lease is ending and the yard has to be returned empty.
  • The plant closed and remaining assets are being liquidated.

Pickup and Freight in Franklin

Mileage from Louisville is absorbed on our side of the transaction rather than deducted from your offer. We can work inside an active facility without shutting your operation down.

The gear is valued on its own merits. The cost of getting it out of Franklin 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 Franklin 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 Franklin: Common Questions

Straight answers

Do you actually come to Franklin to pick up switchgear?

Yes. Mileage from Louisville is absorbed on our side of the transaction rather than deducted from your offer. 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 Franklin, 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.
