Transformers buyers serving Lewiston
We treat Maine as a single service area instead of a list of towns. That is why a single item in Lewiston is still worth quoting — it gets added to an existing run between Portland, Lewiston and Bangor rather than priced as a dedicated trip.
Once an offer is accepted we schedule around your outage, not ours. Night, weekend and phased removals in Lewiston 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 Lewiston 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.
Maine specifics
Paper mill closures across central and northern Maine have released some of the largest MV switchgear and drive systems in New England, usually with long haul distances we price openly.

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