Switchgear buyers serving Highland
We treat Illinois as a single service area instead of a list of towns. That is why a single item in Highland is still worth quoting — it gets added to an existing run between Chicago, Elk Grove Village, Aurora and Northlake rather than priced as a dedicated trip.
The sequence is short. You send nameplate photos, a one-line diagram or just a list. We return a written itemized offer the same business day with a proposed removal window. On acceptance we survey access in Highland — door widths, floor loading, dock, elevator, crane needs — then mobilize, lock out, disconnect, rig, load and sweep. Payment before the truck leaves.

What we take out of Highland 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.
Illinois specifics
Chicago-area heavy manufacturing left an enormous installed base of Square D I-Line and Westinghouse busway and bus plugs, and Cook County demolition volume means we are in the metro nearly every week.

Highland questions
Will you take the equipment we cannot sell along with the good items?
Yes, and this is usually why sellers choose us. Cherry-picking leaves you holding the leftovers of the leftovers. We price the Highland lot as a whole — good gear, obsolete gear and the scrap fraction together — so the electrical room ends up genuinely empty.
Do you provide documentation for surplus property or audit records?
Yes. Itemized purchase agreements, weight tickets, bills of lading, oil disposal manifests and recycling documentation are standard on Highland purchases. Public agencies and audited facilities get the paperwork their process requires without having to ask twice.
Do you actually buy electrical equipment in Highland, or just broker it?
We buy it. Industrial Electrical Buyer is the purchaser of record — we fund the purchase, send our own crews to Highland to disconnect and load, and take title when the equipment leaves your dock. There is no third party behind us waiting to approve the price.
What is the smallest job you will take in Highland?
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 Illinois continuously, small Highland pickups usually get added to an existing run rather than priced as a dedicated trip.
How fast can you get to a Highland site?
Written offers go out the same business day in nearly every case. After acceptance, typical mobilization to Highland 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.
