Michigan Electrical Equipment Buyers
We purchase switchgear, generators, transformers, bus duct, panelboards, breakers, MCCs and copper cable across Michigan, and we perform the de-energized removal ourselves.

How Michigan jobs actually run
Utility territory matters here more than most owners expect: DTE Energy, Consumers Energy, Lansing BWL each have their own disconnect and metering process, and the sequence of who de-energizes what is usually the longest lead item on the schedule.
Freight is the other half. We route Michigan work along I-75, I-94, I-96 and I-696, which is what keeps trailer and crew cost predictable on a quote instead of padded.
Automotive plant consolidations around Detroit put more MCC buckets, busway and unit substations on the market than anywhere else in the Midwest, and we buy whole plant electrical scopes there routinely.
Primary hubs
Detroit, Grand Rapids, Southfield and Lansing — but coverage is statewide, including rural substation and mine sites.

What we buy in Michigan
Electrical Switchgear
We buy low- and medium-voltage switchgear line-ups out of live plants, substations and buildings scheduled for demolition — metal-clad, metal-enclosed, drawout and fixed-mount.
480 V – 38 kV, up to 5,000 AGenerators
Diesel and natural-gas gensets from 100 kW through 3 MW — enclosed, open-skid, trailer-mounted and sub-base tank units, with or without their transfer switches.
100 kW – 3 MW diesel and gasTransformers
Pad-mount, dry-type, cast-coil, unit substation and liquid-filled power transformers from 75 kVA through 50 MVA, including units still energized on the pad.
75 kVA – 50 MVABus Plugs
Fusible and circuit-breaker bus plugs by the unit or by the pallet — 30 A through 1,200 A, all major busway systems, any vintage.
30 A – 1,200 A fusible and breakerBus Duct & Busway
Plug-in and feeder busway runs, elbows, tees, end boxes and cable-tap sections — copper or aluminum, 225 A through 5,000 A, removed by our own crews.
225 A – 5,000 A runsPanelboards & Switchboards
Panelboards, switchboards, distribution panels, safety switches and disconnects — loaded with breakers or empty, one panel or a whole building's worth.
100 A – 4,000 AWire & Cable
Surplus and reclaimed copper and aluminum wire and cable — full spools, partial spools, off-spool coils and cable pulled out of cancelled jobs.
#12 AWG – 1,000 MCMLoad Banks
Resistive and resistive/reactive load banks — portable, trailer-mounted, roof-top and permanently installed, 100 kW through 3 MW.
100 kW – 3 MW resistiveCircuit Breakers
Molded-case, insulated-case, low-voltage power and medium-voltage vacuum and air-magnetic breakers — single units, pallets and full sets pulled from a line-up.
15 A – 6,000 A framesMotor Control Centers
Complete MCC line-ups, individual vertical sections, starter buckets and VFD sections — low voltage and medium voltage, any generation.
MCC line-ups, buckets, VFD sectionsSubstations
Complete unit substations and outdoor station equipment — primary switch, transformer, secondary switchgear, structures, bus and relaying, bought as one lot.
Complete unit and station substationsTransfer Switches
Automatic and manual transfer switches, bypass-isolation switches and paralleling gear, 100 A through 4,000 A, pulled with or without their generators.
100 A – 4,000 A ATSCapacitors & Power Quality
Fixed and automatically switched capacitor banks, harmonic filters, reactors and power-factor correction equipment, indoor and outdoor.
50 kVAR – 10 MVARComplete Plant Lots
When a plant closes, we buy the entire electrical scope as one lot — substation to receptacle — and we do the teardown and loading at our cost.

Michigan questions
Are you insured to work inside our Michigan 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 Michigan. We also complete vendor onboarding, background checks and site-specific safety orientation on request.
Can you work nights, weekends or during a shutdown in Michigan?
Regularly. Most electrical removals happen outside production hours because that is when circuits can be released. Night, weekend, holiday and turnaround windows in Michigan 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.
Do you buy equipment that is still energized and in service?
Yes, and most of what we buy is. We quote it now and remove it on your cutover date. Telling us at the quote stage which Michigan assets are still live lets us build the phasing and the clearance coordination into the schedule from the beginning.
Our electrical room is in a basement with a tight door. Is that a problem?
It is routine. Switchgear sections, transformers and gensets frequently have to be cut down or partially disassembled to clear a door width, an elevator limit or a stair turn. The access survey at your Michigan site establishes the path before we commit to a date, and that cost is already inside the offer.
