Transformers buyers serving Troy
We treat Michigan as a single service area instead of a list of towns. That is why a single item in Troy is still worth quoting — it gets added to an existing run between Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Flint and Warren rather than priced as a dedicated trip.
Once an offer is accepted we schedule around your outage, not ours. Night, weekend and phased removals in Troy are ordinary work. Crews arrive with their own rigging, lifts and containment, protect the floors and leave the room broom clean.

Equipment
What we take out of Troy 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.
Michigan specifics
Michigan work is tooling-cycle work. Stamping plants, body shops and powertrain lines across the Detroit metro and down the I-94 corridor reconfigure on model changeovers, and each changeover frees motor control centers, drive cabinets, dry-type transformers and feeder cable. The plants that close outright release whole electrical scopes, including gear from the 1960s and 70s that operators elsewhere are still hunting to match. Grand Rapids office furniture and food processing, the Midland chemical complex and the foundries around Saginaw and Muskegon add to it. DTE Energy and Consumers Energy both run large distribution replacement programs. Michigan is also where we see the most unit substations still sitting energized on the pad, which is fine — we handle the de-energized removal.

Common questions
Troy questions
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 Troy purchases. Public agencies and audited facilities get the paperwork their process requires without having to ask twice.
Do you actually buy electrical equipment in Troy, or just broker it?
We buy it. Midwest Electrical Buyers is the purchaser of record — we fund the purchase, send our own crews to Troy 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 Troy?
A single transformer, one switchgear section, a pallet of breakers or a few boxes of breakers is worth a call. Because we route crews across Michigan continuously, small Troy pickups usually get added to an existing run rather than priced as a dedicated trip.
How fast can you get to a Troy site?
Written offers go out the same business day in nearly every case. After acceptance, typical mobilization to Troy 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 Troy room is still partly live we phase the work.
