Why Sellers Choose Us

What a Swartz teardown involves on your end

01You Are Paid Before It Moves

Funds change hands before a single section leaves your property. There is no consignment and no waiting on a downstream resale.

02We Do The Dismantling

Our own crew takes the run down. You are not sourcing riggers, renting lifts or chasing a carrier who has never handled busway before.

03No Testing, Ever

You are never asked to test, megger or certify anything. We grade from physical condition and the nameplate. That is the entire process.

04Mixed Lots Are Welcome

Fusible plugs, breaker units, bus duct, tap boxes, panelboards and starters all on one job is the normal case rather than the exception.

The Swartz Market

Nothing about a Swartz busway sale should cost you money. We buy the equipment and absorb every rigging, loading and freight expense. Our the Gulf Coast buyers handle Swartz and everything around it in LA. You get one number, and we stand behind it. No re-grading and re-trading the price once the crew is on site.

Every rating and every manufacturer is in scope. What we see most often in Swartz is GE Spectra breaker plug-in units off a plant retrofit and mixed pallets of fusible switches from a mill teardown. Across Louisiana we also buy combination starter buckets pulled alongside the busway, 800 amp breaker units with molded case breakers inside and an entire overhead run with elbows, tees and end closures.

Who We Buy From

Our sellers here are typically demolition contractors who would rather not scrap good gear, property developers gutting a building for adaptive reuse, electrical contractors closing out a retrofit. We also buy from industrial auctioneers with unsold electrical lots and mining and aggregate operations.

The situations that put busway and plug-in units on the market look like this:

  • Insurance replaced a fire damaged run and the displaced material has to move off site.
  • The plant is closing and every asset is being liquidated on a deadline.
  • The run was oversized for the load and a smaller system replaced it during a shutdown.
  • The facility is being demolished and the electrical gear has to be out before the excavators arrive.

Removal and Freight in Swartz

Mileage from Baton Rouge is absorbed on our side of the transaction rather than deducted from your offer. If the gear has to come out without a forklift, we will plan for it before we quote.

The equipment is valued on its own merits. The cost of getting it out of Swartz — the crew, the lifts, the rigging and the freight — is absorbed on our side. Sellers who already hold a scrap quote often find the difference substantial, because a scrap figure pays metal weight minus processing and ignores entirely what a working plug is worth to a plant that cannot buy a new one.

How the Sale Works

Four steps, none of which cost you anything

  1. Send What You Have

    A photograph of the nameplate and one wide shot of the run or the pallet is enough to begin. If the nameplate is gone, photograph whatever is written on the cover and we will identify it.

  2. Receive a Firm Offer

    We respond with a committed cash figure, usually the same day. It is an offer rather than an estimate, and it does not move afterward.

  3. Schedule on Your Terms

    Removal in Swartz is arranged around your shutdown window, demolition sequence or production schedule. If a contractor badge or safety orientation is required, we work through it.

  4. We Pay, Then We Cut It Out

    Payment is completed before anything moves. Our crew pulls the plugs, takes the duct off the hangers, crates it and hauls it away on our own freight.

Selling Bus Plugs in Swartz: Common Questions

Straight answers

Do you send a crew to Swartz to take the run down?

Yes, and that is the core of what we do. Mileage from Baton Rouge is absorbed on our side of the transaction rather than deducted from your offer. You are not hiring riggers, renting a lift or arranging a freight carrier.

Do I need to test or certify the equipment first?

No. We never ask a seller to test, megger or certify anything. We grade from physical condition and the nameplate, working from your photos first and our own inspection on site afterward.

What if the plugs are old or the busway line is discontinued?

That usually works in your favor. A plant running a line that went out of production cannot buy new plugs at any price, so obsolete units are among the most valuable material we handle.

When do I get paid?

Before the equipment leaves your property. Payment is not contingent on us reselling it afterward, and we do not work on consignment.

Will you buy a few plugs in Swartz, or only whole runs?

Both. A pallet of plugs is worth a call, and if you are decommissioning a facility we will quote the entire electrical scope as one purchase and schedule around your demolition date.

Do you buy the rest of the gear in the electrical room?

Yes. Panelboards, switchboards, safety switches, starters, MCC buckets and dry type transformers are bought in the same transaction, which means one crew, one date and one payment.
