Transformer Removals

Safe transformer removal, rigging, transport — and we buy them too.

Power Demolition provides specialized transformer removals for utilities, plants and substations nationwide — and as active transformer buyers, we will purchase your surplus units. From pad-mounted distribution transformers to large oil-filled substation and GSU transformers, our rigging crews de-energize, drain, rig and transport units safely and in full environmental compliance.

Transformers carry significant resale and scrap value in their copper, steel and oil. Whether you need a single transformer removed or an entire substation cleared, Power Demolition handles spill containment, oil management, rigging and heavy haul — and can pay you for the equipment as part of the job.
