Transfer Switches, Switchgear and Generator Tanks

Worth knowing
Tanks need a plan
Diesel tanks have to be pumped out before they move. If yours still has fuel in it, tell us roughly how much and we'll sort out who empties it.

Selling switchgear, transfer switches and tanks
When a generator goes, the gear around it often goes too.
Switchgear
Paralleling and distribution switchgear is valued on its rating, condition and copper content.
Fuel tanks
Sub-base tanks, day tanks and standalone diesel tanks need to be empty or pumped down. Tell us the size and type.
Disconnecting
Electrical gear must be disconnected by a licensed electrician before we can remove it.
Cable
Leftover power cable is often worth more than people think because of the copper.
One trip
We can take the generator and its related gear together.
Questions
Common questions
Do you buy a transfer switch without the generator?
Yes, once it's disconnected. Larger switches with heavy copper are worth the most.
Will you disconnect switchgear?
No. A licensed electrician has to de-energize and disconnect it.
Do you take fuel tanks with diesel in them?
Not full ones. Tell us the level and we'll plan the pump-out first.
