We buy switchgear in Hobbs, NM and throughout New Mexico. There is no obligation.
Why Sellers Choose Us
What a Hobbs 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 Hobbs
Every class is in scope, from branch panelboards to metal-clad medium voltage lineups
The Hobbs Market
From Hobbs contractors clearing a jobsite to plants shutting down a line, we buy the switchgear that gets pulled out. We run the Southwest lanes weekly, which is why Hobbs, NM rarely waits long for a truck. 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 Hobbs is panelboards in bulk lots off a gut renovation and 600A and 800A distribution boards from mechanical rooms. Across New Mexico we also buy molded case breakers by the pallet, untested, 4000A paralleling switchgear from a standby plant and 5kV magnetic air breaker sections on skids.
Who We Buy From
Our sellers here are typically solar and wind EPC firms with leftover equipment, cold storage and food processing plants, pulp, paper and lumber mills. We also buy from water and wastewater treatment authorities and mining and aggregate operations.
The triggers we hear most often are straightforward:
- A tenant vacated and the existing service is oversized for the next occupant.
- Spare breakers were purchased years ago for a project that never proceeded.
- An arc flash study recommended replacing gear that was past its maintainable life.
- A ground lease is ending and the yard has to be returned empty.
Pickup and Freight in Hobbs
Because we haul our own freight out of Albuquerque, we do not have to shave the offer to cover a third-party carrier. 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 Hobbs 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.

Quote a Hobbs 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 Hobbs 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 New Mexico
We cover 55 locations in New Mexico.
Selling Switchgear in Hobbs: Common Questions
Straight answers
Do you actually come to Hobbs to pick up switchgear?
Yes. Because we haul our own freight out of Albuquerque, we do not have to shave the offer to cover a third-party carrier. 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 Hobbs, 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.
