Why Sellers Choose Us
What an Olympia Fields 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 Olympia Fields
Every class is in scope, from branch panelboards to metal-clad medium voltage lineups
The Olympia Fields Market
We are switchgear buyers, not brokers. Gear leaving Olympia Fields gets bought with our own money and hauled on our own freight. We buy across Illinois and dispatch into Olympia Fields, IL off the Chicago 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 Olympia Fields is panelboards in bulk lots off a gut renovation and 600A and 800A distribution boards from mechanical rooms. Across Illinois we also buy motor control centers with full starter buckets, 3000A drawout switchgear pulled during a service upgrade and molded case breakers by the pallet, untested.
Who We Buy From
Our sellers here are typically plant maintenance managers after a service upgrade, property owners who inherited gear with a building, electrical supply houses moving old inventory. We also buy from solar and wind EPC firms with leftover equipment and manufacturers consolidating two plants into one.
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.
- A ground lease is ending and the yard has to be returned empty.
- The plant closed and remaining assets are being liquidated.
- Spare breakers were purchased years ago for a project that never proceeded.
Pickup and Freight in Olympia Fields
Mileage from Chicago is absorbed on our side of the transaction rather than deducted from your offer. If the lineup is in a basement electrical room or up a ramp, tell us and we will bring the right rigging.
The gear is valued on its own merits. The cost of getting it out of Olympia Fields 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 Illinois Equipment
Low Voltage Switchgear
600V class drawout and fixed-mounted lineups pulled from indoor electrical rooms.

Walk-in and non-walk-in weatherproof enclosures, pad-mounted and skid-mounted lineups.

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 Olympia Fields 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 Illinois
We cover 377 locations in Illinois.
Selling Switchgear in Olympia Fields: Common Questions
Straight answers
Do you actually come to Olympia Fields to pick up switchgear?
Yes. Mileage from Chicago 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 Olympia Fields, 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.
