Electrical Buyers in Burlington, IA
We purchase industrial electrical equipment throughout Burlington and the surrounding Iowa market.

Industrial Electrical Equipment buyers serving Burlington
Burlington sits in Iowa, where MidAmerican Energy, Alliant Energy, Iowa Association of Municipal Utilities feed the load and I-80, I-35 and I-380 carry the freight. Sites near those corridors cost us less to service, and that shows up in your offer rather than in our margin. Des Moines, Council Bluffs, Cedar Rapids and Altoona are routine stops and Burlington work routes with them.
Once an offer is accepted we schedule around your outage, not ours. Night, weekend and phased removals in Burlington are ordinary work. Crews arrive with their own rigging, lifts and containment, protect the floors and leave the room broom clean.

What we take out of Burlington sites
Distribution and control equipment
Low- and medium-voltage switchgear and switchboards, motor control centers, panelboards, bus duct with its plugs, transfer switches, capacitor banks and the breakers that live inside all of it. This is the bulk of what moves through our yard, and it is where obsolete models are frequently worth more than current production because nobody else can supply them.
Power conversion and generation
Liquid-filled and dry-type transformers from 75 kVA to 50 MVA, unit substations, rectifier and furnace transformers, and diesel and gas gensets from 100 kW to 3 MW with or without their paralleling gear and transfer switches. Running or not — we price a seized engine on its alternator and core just as seriously as a low-hour set.
Iowa specifics
Ethanol plants, grain processing and pork operations produce MCC line-ups and large drives, and Iowa utility standardization programs clear pad-mount transformers in quantity.

Burlington questions
Do we have to disconnect the equipment before you arrive?
No. We handle removal. Your electrician or the utility performs the final isolation and we verify it; from there our crews lock out, cut and cap cable at the gland, unbolt the sections, skate them out and load them. If the Burlington room is still partly live we phase the work.
How do you handle transformer oil in Burlington?
Oil is tested, drained and manifested through licensed handlers, and you receive the documentation with your paperwork. PCB-suspect units go under a separate waste profile. Nothing is left on your pad in Burlington and nothing gets dumped — the handling cost is already in the offer.
When do we get paid?
Before the equipment leaves your Burlington dock. Wire, company check or cashier's check, whichever your accounting group prefers. On large phased projects we pay per load as it ships rather than holding everything until the end.
What if the equipment is old or has no test records?
We still quote it. Records raise the number — a NETA test report on a breaker or a transformer is the single document that most improves what we can pay — but their absence disqualifies nothing. We price Burlington equipment on what our technicians and the replacement market say it is worth.
Are you insured to work inside our Burlington facility?
Yes. We carry general liability, auto, workers' compensation and umbrella coverage, and we issue a certificate naming your entity as additional insured before crews mobilize to Burlington. We also complete vendor onboarding, background checks and site-specific safety orientation on request.
