Transformers buyers serving Lyons
Lyons sits in Illinois, where ComEd, Ameren Illinois, MidAmerican feed the load and I-90, I-94, I-55, I-80 and I-290 carry the freight. Sites near those corridors cost us less to service, and that shows up in your offer rather than in our margin. Chicago, Elk Grove Village, Aurora and Northlake are routine stops and Lyons 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 Lyons site.

What we take out of Lyons 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.
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.

Lyons questions
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 Lyons purchases. Public agencies and audited facilities get the paperwork their process requires without having to ask twice.
Do you actually buy electrical equipment in Lyons, or just broker it?
We buy it. Industrial Electrical Buyer is the purchaser of record — we fund the purchase, send our own crews to Lyons 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 Lyons?
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 Lyons pickups usually get added to an existing run rather than priced as a dedicated trip.
How fast can you get to a Lyons site?
Written offers go out the same business day in nearly every case. After acceptance, typical mobilization to Lyons 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 Lyons room is still partly live we phase the work.
