Selling a Transformer in Tigard
Selling a transformer out of Tigard, OR usually comes down to a date on somebody's schedule: a demolition start, an outage window, a certificate of occupancy. We work to the date. Send us the nameplate and the access conditions, take a same-day number, and we will arrive in Washington County with the rigging and the truck at our expense.
Why Oregon equipment moves well
Our interest in Tigard is not generic coverage — it is that Oregon's semiconductor and hyperscale data center base displaces cast-coil and padmount equipment on tight construction schedules, and Columbia River barge access makes large units movable. The industrial base here spans semiconductor fabrication in Hillsboro, data center campuses in Prineville and The Dalles, lumber and wood products, and food processing in the Willamette Valley, and equipment out of those facilities is usually well specified and worth recovering rather than scrapping. Utilities in the area include Portland General Electric, Pacific Power, Eugene Water & Electric Board, EPUD. Freight runs I-5 and I-84 with the Port of Portland handling heavy-lift and Columbia River barge for oversize.
Rural and small-city pickups are our cost, not yours
The reason surplus transformers sit for years in places like Tigard is that most buyers quietly expect the seller to arrange loadout, and arranging a crane and a lowboy for one unit is expensive and unfamiliar work for a plant manager or a town electrician. We remove that entirely. Our crew brings the lift equipment, the rigging gear and the trailer to Tigard and absorbs the cost inside our offer.
Combining freight across Oregon
For smaller communities we build a route rather than sending a truck for one item. If your unit can wait a short while, we will combine it with other Washington County and Oregon pickups, which often lets us pay more than a one-off trip would justify. If it cannot wait, tell us the deadline and we will price a dedicated run.
Removal and Value
Access constraints we handle in Tigard
Very few transformers sit somewhere convenient. We routinely remove units from basement vaults, upper-floor electrical rooms, fenced substation yards with a single gate, roof-level mechanical decks and live plant floors under escort. Where a unit will not fit through the opening it came in through, we handle door-frame removal, wall coring or on-site disassembly. Where the street must be occupied, we pull the permit. None of that is billed back to you.
Why lead times work in your favor
New transformer lead times have stayed long enough that used and surplus equipment holds unusually firm value. Buyers who need capacity in months rather than years will pay for a tested used unit. That demand is what lets us cover the crane, the riggers and the freight out of Tigard and still write you a real check — the equipment is genuinely worth recovering rather than merely worth hauling away.
Equipment We Buy in Tigard
Padmount Transformers
Pad-mounted distribution transformers are the single most liquid item we buy. A dead-front loop-feed unit in the 75 to 2500 kVA range with a legible nameplate and a sound tank can be priced from photographs the same day.
75 kVA – 5000 kVA300+ oil-filled units purchased annuallyOil-Filled Transformers
Liquid-filled units — mineral oil, silicone or ester — from 25 kVA pole-mounts up to 20 MVA power transformers. Oil is not a problem for us; containment, testing and disposal are part of what we do.
25 kVA – 20 MVA120–160 dry-type units handled per yearDry-Type Transformers
Ventilated, sealed and cast-coil dry-type units from 15 kVA control transformers up to 5000 kVA unit substation sections. Copper-wound units carry a materially higher offer than aluminum.
