Switchgear buyers serving Hopkins
We treat Minnesota as a single service area instead of a list of towns. That is why a single item in Hopkins is still worth quoting — it gets added to an existing run between Minneapolis, St. Paul, Chaska and Rochester rather than priced as a dedicated trip.
Documentation travels with the job: a certificate of insurance naming your entity, a W-9, a signed purchase agreement itemizing each asset and its price, oil or PCB manifests where applicable, and weight tickets or a bill of lading for what leaves the Hopkins site.

What we take out of Hopkins 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.

Hopkins questions
Do you actually buy electrical equipment in Hopkins, or just broker it?
We buy it. Industrial Electrical Buyer is the purchaser of record — we fund the purchase, send our own crews to Hopkins 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 Hopkins?
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 Hopkins pickups usually get added to an existing run rather than priced as a dedicated trip.
How fast can you get to a Hopkins site?
Written offers go out the same business day in nearly every case. After acceptance, typical mobilization to Hopkins 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 Hopkins room is still partly live we phase the work.
How do you handle transformer oil in Hopkins?
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 Hopkins and nothing gets dumped — the handling cost is already in the offer.
