Why Sellers Choose Us
What a Gloucester 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 Gloucester
Every class is in scope, from branch panelboards to metal-clad medium voltage lineups
The Gloucester Market
There is a resale market for the switchgear sitting idle at your Gloucester site, and we pay against that market rather than scrap weight. We hold Massachusetts inventory moving through Worcester, so consolidating your Gloucester lineup onto an existing load is usually possible. Our offers are cash offers. Nothing is contingent on us reselling the equipment first.
Every class of distribution equipment is in scope. What we see most often in Gloucester is loose drawout air breakers on pallets and 1200A 480V switchboards out of a retail service. Across Massachusetts we also buy molded case breakers by the pallet, untested, MCC sections with VFD buckets still installed and 4000A paralleling switchgear from a standby plant.
Who We Buy From
Our sellers here are typically oil and gas service yards, data center operators replacing distribution capacity, utility contractors with surplus stock. We also buy from demolition crews stripping a site and school and municipal facilities departments.
Most sales trace back to one of a few situations:
- A cancelled or downsized build left new gear crated and never installed.
- The site is scheduled for demolition and the electrical rooms have to clear first.
- A tenant vacated and the existing service is oversized for the next occupant.
- Service capacity was upsized, leaving the previous gear as an unneeded spare.
Pickup and Freight in Gloucester
We stage flatbeds and lowboys near Worcester and dispatch into Gloucester 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 Gloucester 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.
Common Massachusetts Equipment
Metal-Clad Switchgear
Compartmentalized drawout medium voltage gear with grounded metal barriers between sections.
Medium Voltage Switchgear
5kV and 15kV class metal-clad lineups with vacuum or air breakers, indoor and outdoor.
Switchgear Scrap
Burned, gutted, flooded and unrepairable gear bought for copper and metal content.
Unit Substations
Close-coupled primary, transformer and secondary assemblies from industrial plants.
Quote a Gloucester Lineup
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 Gloucester 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.
Also Buying Across Massachusetts
We cover 62 locations in Massachusetts.
Selling Switchgear in Gloucester: Common Questions
Straight answers
Do you actually come to Gloucester to pick up switchgear?
Yes. We stage flatbeds and lowboys near Worcester and dispatch into Gloucester 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 Gloucester, 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.
