Why Sellers Choose Us
What a Montevideo 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 Montevideo
Every class is in scope, from branch panelboards to metal-clad medium voltage lineups
The Montevideo Market
We write cash offers on Montevideo switchgear from a nameplate photo, usually the same day you send it. Our Minnesota coverage runs statewide, so a pickup in Montevideo, MN is scheduled the same way a metro pickup would be. We quote from photos and a nameplate, pay on pickup, and cover the rigging and freight ourselves.
Every class of distribution equipment is in scope. What we see most often in Montevideo is arc-resistant lineups from a cancelled build and 600A and 800A distribution boards from mechanical rooms. Across Minnesota we also buy 15kV metal-clad lineups with vacuum breakers, 2000A main-tie-main lineups from a light industrial park and 4000A paralleling switchgear from a standby plant.
Who We Buy From
Our sellers here are typically industrial auctioneers with unsold lots, electrical supply houses moving old inventory, commercial property managers doing a tenant retrofit. We also buy from general contractors on an adaptive-reuse project and plant maintenance managers after a service upgrade.
In practice, a handful of scenarios account for nearly every sale:
- 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.
- A tenant vacated and the existing service is oversized for the next occupant.
- A cancelled or downsized build left new gear crated and never installed.
Pickup and Freight in Montevideo
Getting a lowboy into Montevideo is routine for us. Tight electrical rooms, alley access and basement pulls included. 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 Montevideo 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 Minnesota Equipment
Switchgear Scrap
Burned, gutted, flooded and unrepairable gear bought for copper and metal content.
Circuit Breakers
Loose air, vacuum, insulated case and molded case breakers, individually or by the pallet.

Quote a Montevideo 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 Montevideo 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 Minnesota
We cover 178 locations in Minnesota.
Selling Switchgear in Montevideo: Common Questions
Straight answers
Do you actually come to Montevideo to pick up switchgear?
Yes. Getting a lowboy into Montevideo 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 Montevideo, 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.
