Why Sellers Choose Us

What a Strawberry switchgear sale involves on your end

01You Are Paid Before It Moves

Funds change hands before a single section leaves your property. There is no consignment and no waiting on a downstream resale.

02No Testing Is Required

You are never asked to test, energize, clean or repair the gear. Our team evaluates it from the nameplate photos and our own inspection.

03We Cover Freight and Rigging

Lowboys, flatbeds, cribbing, section separation and permits are billed to us. That cost is already priced into the offer you receive.

04Our Crews Handle Teardown

Disconnection coordination, dismantling, rigging out of the electrical room and loading are performed by our crews at our expense.

The Strawberry Market

If you have switchgear sitting idle in Strawberry, we will buy it as it stands. No testing, no cleanup, no repairs on your end. Strawberry, CA sits inside the California territory one of our buyers covers directly. We will work around your outage window, your plant schedule or your landlord's access hours. Pickup gets scheduled to suit you.

Every class of distribution equipment is in scope. What we see most often in Strawberry is 4000A paralleling switchgear from a standby plant and 3000A drawout switchgear pulled during a service upgrade. Across California we also buy 5kV magnetic air breaker sections on skids, arc-resistant lineups from a cancelled build and panelboards in bulk lots off a gut renovation.

Who We Buy From

Our sellers here are typically water and wastewater treatment authorities, hospital and campus engineering groups, manufacturers consolidating two plants into one. We also buy from general contractors on an adaptive-reuse project and solar and wind EPC firms with leftover equipment.

The circumstances behind those calls are consistent:

  • A flood or storm replacement has arrived and the damaged gear needs to be removed.
  • An arc flash study recommended replacing gear that was past its maintainable life.
  • A cancelled or downsized build left new gear crated and never installed.
  • A service upgrade left the original lineup stranded at the wrong amperage.

Pickup and Freight in Strawberry

Our trucks already run through the Inland Empire, so a pickup in Strawberry rarely needs a special trip. 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 Strawberry 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.

How the Sale Works

Four steps, none of which cost you anything

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Schedule on Your Terms

    Pickup in Strawberry is arranged around your outage window, plant shutdown or building access hours. Where a utility disconnect has to happen first, we coordinate the timing.

  4. 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.

Selling Switchgear in Strawberry: Common Questions

Straight answers

Do you actually come to Strawberry to pick up switchgear?

Yes. Our trucks already run through the Inland Empire, so a pickup in Strawberry 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 Strawberry, 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.
