How It Works

Plate 01

1. You send what you have

A phone call, a photo of a nameplate, an asset list from a decommissioning consultant, or a single-line diagram. Any of those is enough to start. What helps most: kVA or amperage, voltage, manufacturer, breaker frame sizes and roughly how the equipment gets out of the building.

If you do not have that information, tell us where the gear is and we will walk it ourselves. Site visits are free and we do not charge for an appraisal that does not end in a sale.

Plate 02

2. We write an itemized offer

Same business day in almost every case. The offer lists each lot separately, states what we are paying for it, and states plainly what we are doing: whether we remove, who disconnects, who patches, what leaves and what stays.

You will never get a single lump number with no scope attached. That is how sellers end up arguing about backfill and floor patching after the trailers are loaded.

Plate 03

3. Lockout, then removal

Nothing gets touched until your electrician or your utility has de-energized and locked out the equipment and your representative has verified it. We work on dead gear only. That is not negotiable and it is the reason our insurance is what it is.

Then our crews come in with the rigging, the dollies, the plate steel and the trailers. Bus duct comes down in runs, switchgear comes apart at the section joints, transformers get skidded or craned depending on the pad.

Plate 04

4. Payment, then the trailer leaves

You are paid before the equipment leaves your property. Company check, wire or ACH — whichever your accounting department prefers. On multi-week projects we pay per load-out rather than at the end.

You get a bill of lading for everything that leaves, and where you need it, documentation for your own environmental or asset-disposal records.

Plate 05

What we need from you, and what we do not

We need a de-energized, locked-out piece of equipment, verified by your representative, and safe access to it. That is the whole list.

We do not need you to clean anything, palletize anything, disconnect anything, or arrange trucking. We do not need you to know what the equipment is worth before you call — that is our job, and telling us a number first almost never helps you.

Plate 06

Why the offer is written and itemized

A verbal number is worth nothing when a crew shows up and starts renegotiating on the floor. Every offer we write lists each lot, the price for that lot, and the removal scope attached to it.

If we find something on site that was not on the list — an extra MCC section, three hundred feet of unlisted tray cable — we write an addendum and you approve it before we take it.
