We buy switchgear in Lonsdale, MN and throughout Minnesota. There is no obligation.
Why Sellers Choose Us
What a Lonsdale 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 Lonsdale
Every class is in scope, from branch panelboards to metal-clad medium voltage lineups
The Lonsdale Market
If you have switchgear sitting idle in Lonsdale, we will buy it as it stands. No testing, no cleanup, no repairs on your end. Lonsdale is one of many Minnesota towns we buy in, and the offer logic does not change with the zip code. 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 Lonsdale is loose drawout air breakers on pallets and 2000A main-tie-main lineups from a light industrial park. Across Minnesota we also buy arc-resistant lineups from a cancelled build, 4000A paralleling switchgear from a standby plant and molded case breakers by the pallet, untested.
Who We Buy From
Our sellers here are typically school and municipal facilities departments, demolition crews stripping a site, plant maintenance managers after a service upgrade. We also buy from utility contractors with surplus stock and manufacturers consolidating two plants into one.
The circumstances behind those calls are consistent:
- The site is scheduled for demolition and the electrical rooms have to clear first.
- 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 flood or storm replacement has arrived and the damaged gear needs to be removed.
Pickup and Freight in Lonsdale
Our trucks already run through Minneapolis, so a pickup in Lonsdale rarely needs a special trip. Roof-level and mezzanine gear is not a problem; we plan the pick before we quote.
The gear is valued on its own merits. The cost of getting it out of Lonsdale 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.

5kV and 15kV class metal-clad lineups with vacuum or air breakers, indoor and outdoor.

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 Lonsdale 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.

We cover 178 locations in Minnesota.
Selling Switchgear in Lonsdale: Common Questions
Straight answers
Do you actually come to Lonsdale to pick up switchgear?
Yes. Our trucks already run through Minneapolis, so a pickup in Lonsdale rarely needs a special trip. 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 Lonsdale, 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.
