Transformers buyers serving Independence
Independence sits in Oregon, where Portland General Electric, Pacific Power, EWEB feed the load and I-5, I-84 and US-97 carry the freight. Sites near those corridors cost us less to service, and that shows up in your offer rather than in our margin. Portland, Hillsboro, Prineville and Eugene are routine stops and Independence work routes with them.
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 Independence site.

What we take out of Independence sites
Liquid-filled pad-mount and station class
Oil-filled pad-mount and pole-mount units, loop-feed and radial, unit substations with their primary switching and secondary sections, and station-class power transformers with tap changers, radiators and conservators. Oil is tested for PCB content before anything moves, and the manifests come with your paperwork.
Dry-type and cast coil
Ventilated dry-type and cast-coil units from 15 kVA through 5 MVA, including 480 V to 208 V step-downs, K-rated units specified for harmonic loads, and drive isolation transformers. Dry-types move easily, resell quickly and generally carry a strong number relative to their weight.
Oregon specifics
Semiconductor and metals operations near Hillsboro and Portland run modern switchgear worth reselling, and Oregon DEQ rules shape how we manifest transformer oil.

Independence 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 Independence room is still partly live we phase the work.
How do you handle transformer oil in Independence?
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 Independence and nothing gets dumped — the handling cost is already in the offer.
When do we get paid?
Before the equipment leaves your Independence 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 Independence equipment on what our technicians and the replacement market say it is worth.
Are you insured to work inside our Independence 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 Independence. We also complete vendor onboarding, background checks and site-specific safety orientation on request.
