Transformers buyers serving South Lakes
South Lakes sits in Alaska, where Chugach Electric, Golden Valley Electric, Alaska Power feed the load and the Glenn and Parks Highways and the Port of Alaska carry the freight. Sites near those corridors cost us less to service, and that shows up in your offer rather than in our margin. Anchorage, Fairbanks and Juneau are routine stops and South Lakes 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 South Lakes site.

What we take out of South Lakes 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.
Alaska specifics
Barge and air freight dominate cost on Alaska removals, so we consolidate transformer, switchgear and genset pickups into a single shipment whenever the schedule allows.

South Lakes questions
When do we get paid?
Before the equipment leaves your South Lakes 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 South Lakes equipment on what our technicians and the replacement market say it is worth.
Are you insured to work inside our South Lakes 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 South Lakes. We also complete vendor onboarding, background checks and site-specific safety orientation on request.
Can you work nights, weekends or during a shutdown in South Lakes?
Regularly. Most electrical removals happen outside production hours because that is when circuits can be released. Night, weekend, holiday and turnaround windows in South Lakes are normal scheduling for us, not a premium service.
What happens to the equipment after you buy it?
Serviceable gear is tested, reconditioned where needed and resold as replacement equipment — that resale is what funds your offer. What cannot go back into service is dismantled for copper, aluminum and steel recovery through permitted processors, with regulated fractions documented.
