Why Sellers Choose Us
What a Reno 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 Reno
Every class is in scope, from branch panelboards to metal-clad medium voltage lineups
The Reno Market
Reno facilities call us when a lineup comes offline and the question becomes what to do with it. The answer is sell it. Nevada sellers get the same terms as anywhere else we operate: paid first, freight on us. 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 Reno is motor control centers with full starter buckets and 2000A main-tie-main lineups from a light industrial park. Across Nevada we also buy pad-mounted outdoor lineups from a plant yard, 1200A 480V switchboards out of a retail service and 600A and 800A distribution boards from mechanical rooms.
Who We Buy From
Our sellers here are typically industrial auctioneers with unsold lots, utility contractors with surplus stock, mining and aggregate operations. We also buy from commercial property managers doing a tenant retrofit and general contractors on an adaptive-reuse project.
Most sales trace back to one of a few situations:
- An arc flash study recommended replacing gear that was past its maintainable life.
- Service capacity was upsized, leaving the previous gear as an unneeded spare.
- The plant closed and remaining assets are being liquidated.
- A cancelled or downsized build left new gear crated and never installed.
Pickup and Freight in Reno
We stage flatbeds and lowboys near Las Vegas and dispatch into Reno as loads fill. 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 Reno 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 Nevada Equipment
Unit Substations
Close-coupled primary, transformer and secondary assemblies from industrial plants.
Low Voltage Switchgear
600V class drawout and fixed-mounted lineups pulled from indoor electrical rooms.

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.
Quote a Reno 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 Reno 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 Nevada
We cover 36 locations in Nevada.
Selling Switchgear in Reno: Common Questions
Straight answers
Do you actually come to Reno to pick up switchgear?
Yes. We stage flatbeds and lowboys near Las Vegas and dispatch into Reno 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 Reno, 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.
