Selling a Transformer in Cheyenne
We buy surplus, used and failed electrical transformers in Cheyenne, WY and throughout Laramie County. Padmount, oil-filled, dry-type, pole-mount and substation-class units from 15 kVA to 100 MVA, in any condition — working, de-energized, surplus or internally failed. Send a photograph of the nameplate and we will price the unit the same day. Every purchase includes the freight and the rigging at our cost.
The Wyoming market for used transformers
What comes available in this state is shaped by what it runs: coal mining in the Powder River Basin, trona and soda ash production, oil and gas, refining, and very large wind development. On the utility side, Rocky Mountain Power, Black Hills Energy, Basin Electric, Cheyenne Light Fuel & Power all operate here, and surplus programs and system upgrades release both distribution and station-class equipment. Moving it out of Cheyenne means I-80 and I-25 with Cheyenne and Casper as our regional consolidation points. Notably, Powder River Basin mine and Wyoming wind interconnection work release both very large mining transformers and fleets of collector units, and remote rigging is our cost.
Why a mid-size city like Cheyenne is easy for us
Mid-size markets are frequently where the best-value equipment sits, because there is less local competition bidding on it. A well-maintained padmount or a copper-wound dry-type out of a Cheyenne plant or school district often carries strong resale value and simply has not had a buyer with a truck show up. We are that buyer, and we consolidate Cheyenne pickups with other Wyoming freight so the haul cost never lands on your side of the ledger.
Single units and small lots
You do not need a yard full of equipment to get our attention here. One 750 kVA padmount, three pole-mount cans on pallets, a pair of dry-types out of a mechanical room — we will quote it and we will schedule it. If a single small unit does not justify a dedicated truck immediately, we will tell you honestly and either hold it for the next Wyoming run or price it to move now.
Removal and Value
What our crew brings to Cheyenne
A removal in Cheyenne is scoped from your photographs before anyone mobilizes, so the crew arrives with the right equipment rather than improvising. Depending on the unit that means a boom truck or rough-terrain forklift for a padmount, machine skates and stair gear for an indoor dry-type, or a hydraulic crane and multi-axle lowboy for station-class equipment. We bring rigging hardware, spill containment sized to the unit's oil volume, and our own insurance certificates naming your entity. You provide site access and a de-energized, disconnected unit; we do the rest.
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 Cheyenne and still write you a real check — the equipment is genuinely worth recovering rather than merely worth hauling away.
Equipment We Buy in Cheyenne
Unit Substations
Complete primary-transformer-secondary lineups: incoming section, transformer, and low-voltage switchgear or switchboard bolted as one assembly. We buy them whole and we buy them by the section.
300 kVA – 5000 kVA60–90 cast-coil units per yearCast-Coil Transformers
Epoxy-encapsulated cast-coil units built for harsh, humid and high-load environments. Because they were expensive new and are durable used, they hold value better than any other dry-type.
300 kVA – 10 MVALots of 2 to 30 vault unitsNetwork & Vault Transformers
Submersible and vault-type network transformers with network protectors, pulled from underground vaults in dense urban grids. Awkward to remove, which is exactly why we get called.
