Sell Switchgear in Columbus, MN
Columbus facility and construction teams call us when equipment is coming out and nobody wants to coordinate an electrician, a rigger and a hauler around one outage window. We are all three, and we pay you for the equipment on top of it instead of charging you to haul it away.

Switchgear buyers serving Columbus
Our Minnesota routing runs along I-35, I-94, I-494 and I-694, which keeps crew and trailer cost predictable for Columbus projects. Coordination with Xcel Energy, Minnesota Power, Great River Energy on clearances, metering removal and final disconnect is part of the scope, not a change order.
Once an offer is accepted we schedule around your outage, not ours. Night, weekend and phased removals in Columbus 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 Columbus sites
Medium-voltage metal-clad line-ups
Complete 4.16 kV, 13.8 kV and 38 kV metal-clad structures with their vacuum or air-magnetic breakers still racked in, main-tie-main arrangements, incoming line and metering cubicles, relay and protection sections, and outdoor walk-in and non-walk-in enclosures. Current-production vacuum breakers are the single strongest value driver in this category.
Low-voltage switchgear and switchboards
480 V and 600 V drawout switchgear, group-mounted and individually-mounted switchboards, main breaker and main lug sections, distribution sections with feeder breakers, and service-entrance equipment with utility metering. Square D Power-Style, GE AKD, Eaton Magnum and Siemens line-ups all move well.
Minnesota specifics
Iron Range mining, food processing and medical device manufacturing produce portable substations, MV cable and clean MCC line-ups; winter schedules are normal work for us.

Columbus questions
What is the smallest job you will take in Columbus?
A single transformer, one switchgear section, a pallet of bus plugs or a few boxes of breakers is worth a call. Because we route crews across Minnesota continuously, small Columbus pickups usually get added to an existing run rather than priced as a dedicated trip.
How fast can you get to a Columbus site?
Written offers go out the same business day in nearly every case. After acceptance, typical mobilization to Columbus is a few business days for a straightforward removal and one to two weeks for a full plant scope that needs phasing, rigging plans or utility coordination.
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 Columbus room is still partly live we phase the work.
How do you handle transformer oil in Columbus?
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 Columbus and nothing gets dumped — the handling cost is already in the offer.
When do we get paid?
Before the equipment leaves your Columbus 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.
