Load Banks buyers serving Berkeley
Berkeley sits in California, where PG&E, Southern California Edison, SMUD, LADWP feed the load and I-5, I-80, I-10, US-101 and the 405 carry the freight. Sites near those corridors cost us less to service, and that shows up in your offer rather than in our margin. Santa Clara, San Jose, Los Angeles, Sacramento and San Diego are routine stops and Berkeley work routes with them.
If the Berkeley equipment is still carrying load we phase it — dead sections and spares first, distribution as circuits are released, the main line-up on the final clearance. The phasing is written into the offer so nobody improvises in an energized room at two in the morning.

What we take out of Berkeley sites
Portable and trailer-mounted units
Wheeled and trailer-mounted resistive banks used for generator acceptance and annual testing, typically 100 kW to 1 MW, with their load cable, camlock tails and control panels. Rental-fleet retirements are common and usually well maintained.
Permanent and roof-mounted banks
Fixed load banks installed for automatic exercise of standby plants, including roof-mounted units and those integrated with paralleling switchgear. Removal is a crane and controls-disconnection job that we plan on the survey.
California specifics
Title 24 upgrades, refinery turnarounds in the Bay Area and Los Angeles basin, and aggressive PCB and oil handling rules under DTSC make California removals documentation-heavy; we quote the compliance work inside the offer rather than as an extra.

Berkeley questions
What is the smallest job you will take in Berkeley?
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 California continuously, small Berkeley pickups usually get added to an existing run rather than priced as a dedicated trip.
How fast can you get to a Berkeley site?
Written offers go out the same business day in nearly every case. After acceptance, typical mobilization to Berkeley 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 Berkeley room is still partly live we phase the work.
How do you handle transformer oil in Berkeley?
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 Berkeley and nothing gets dumped — the handling cost is already in the offer.
When do we get paid?
Before the equipment leaves your Berkeley 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.
