Buying electrical equipment in Sturgis
Sturgis sits in Michigan, where DTE Energy, Consumers Energy, Lansing BWL feed the load and I-75, I-94, I-96 and I-696 carry the freight. Both facts land in your number: a site near those corridors costs us less to service and the saving shows up in the offer rather than our margin. Detroit, Grand Rapids, Southfield and Lansing are regular stops, and Sturgis work routes with them.
Once an offer is accepted in Sturgis we schedule around your outage window, not ours. Nights, weekends and phased removals are normal. Crews arrive with their own rigging, skates, lifts, torches and oil-handling equipment, pull the gear, protect your floors and leave the electrical room clear for the next trade.

What drives the number
Sometimes the equipment value exceeds our removal cost and you receive a check. On older, stripped or badly access-restricted Sturgis scopes, the removal cost exceeds the value and the project nets near zero or a modest fee. You hear which one you are looking at up front rather than halfway through the teardown.
| Input | Detail |
|---|---|
| Condition | Working, retired, water-damaged, or already dismantled |
| Support | Are breakers and parts still available for this line-up? |
| Copper | Windings, bus bar and cable weight |
| Access | Rigging path, crane need, dock reality at the Sturgis site |
| Freight | I-75, I-94, I-96 and I-696 |

Safety and documentation
If your Sturgis facility runs permits — hot work, confined space, elevated work, site orientation, background checks — tell us at the quote stage and we build the time into the schedule rather than asking for an extension later. Our people are used to refinery, hospital and utility permitting cultures.
Paper you receive
Certificate of insurance before we mobilize, a written itemized offer, a signed bill of sale, and load documentation for every trailer. If your compliance team needs something specific, ask before we schedule.

Sturgis questions
Will you take the equipment we cannot sell along with the good items?
Yes, and this is usually why sellers choose us. Cherry-picking leaves you holding the leftovers of the leftovers. We price the Sturgis lot as a whole — good gear, obsolete gear and the scrap fraction together — so the electrical room ends up genuinely empty.
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 Sturgis purchases. Public agencies and audited facilities get the paperwork their process requires without having to ask twice.
Do you actually buy electrical equipment in Sturgis, or just broker it?
We buy it. Industrial Electrical Buyer is the purchaser of record — we fund the purchase, send our own crews to Sturgis 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 Sturgis?
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 Michigan continuously, small Sturgis pickups usually get added to an existing run rather than priced as a dedicated trip.
How fast can you get to a Sturgis site?
Written offers go out the same business day in nearly every case. After acceptance, typical mobilization to Sturgis 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 Sturgis room is still partly live we phase the work.
