We Buy Surplus Electrical Equipment in Texas
We buy surplus transformers, switchgear, and cable across Texas — refineries, petrochemical plants, and oil & gas facilities from Houston to Midland.

Texas generates more surplus industrial electrical equipment than any other state. Gulf Coast refineries and petrochemical plants between Houston, Beaumont, and Corpus Christi run continuous turnaround cycles that free up transformers, switchgear, and MCCs. West Texas oil and gas operations churn through padmount transformers and MV cable. And the DFW-Austin-San Antonio triangle is now a major data center corridor.
We buy across all of it — single breakers from a Houston contractor to complete substation packages from a Permian Basin decommissioning — with freight arranged from any Texas location.
What we buy most in Texas
Refinery and petrochemical surplus dominates: NEMA 7 rated gear, large MCC lineups (CENTERLINE 2100, Model 6), 480V switchgear, and station-class transformers from unit upgrades. From the oilfield side we see padmounts, portable substations, and thousands of feet of MV cable from decommissioned leases. Contractor surplus from Houston, Dallas, and Austin commercial projects rounds it out.
- Turnaround & shutdown surplus from Gulf Coast refineries
- Oilfield padmount transformers and 25kV-class URD cable
- Data center gear from the DFW and San Antonio markets
- Contractor overruns from statewide commercial construction
Freight and logistics in Texas
Texas has the country's densest heavy-haul infrastructure, and we use it: flatbeds from Houston laydown yards, crane trucks in the Metroplex, and oilfield-experienced haulers in the Permian. Most Texas pickups are scheduled within a week of an accepted offer.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Do you buy equipment from refinery turnaround contractors?
- Yes. We work directly with turnaround and demolition contractors on removed gear, paying before equipment leaves the laydown area.
- Can you pick up in remote West Texas locations?
- Yes. Our carriers run the Permian and Eagle Ford regularly — remote lease pickups are routine.
- Do you handle Texas-sized lots — full plants?
- Absolutely. Complete plant electrical scopes are our specialty, quoted as a single package with one mobilization.
