We purchase switchgear throughout Hickory and the surrounding North Carolina market.

We buy it and we remove it — one offer, one crew, one certificate of insurance.

Switchgear buyers serving Hickory
Our North Carolina routing runs along I-85, I-40, I-77 and I-95, which keeps crew and trailer cost predictable for Hickory projects. Coordination with Duke Energy Carolinas, Duke Energy Progress, Dominion on clearances, metering removal and final disconnect is part of the scope, not a change order.
Once an offer is accepted we schedule around your outage, not ours. Night, weekend and phased removals in Hickory are ordinary work. Crews arrive with their own rigging, lifts and containment, protect the floors and leave the room broom clean.

Equipment
What we take out of Hickory sites
Medium-voltage metal-clad line-ups
Complete 4.16 kV, 13.8 kV and 38 kV metal-clad structures with their vacuum or air-magnetic breakers still racked in, main-tie-main arrangements, incoming line and metering cubicles, relay and protection sections, and outdoor walk-in and non-walk-in enclosures. Current-production vacuum breakers are the single strongest value driver in this category.
Low-voltage switchgear and switchboards
480 V and 600 V drawout switchgear, group-mounted and individually-mounted switchboards, main breaker and main lug sections, distribution sections with feeder breakers, and service-entrance equipment with utility metering. Square D Power-Style, GE AKD, Eaton Magnum and Siemens line-ups all move well.
North Carolina specifics
North Carolina is a state in the middle of swapping one industrial base for another, and that is exactly when electrical equipment moves. Furniture plants around High Point, textile mills across the Piedmont and the old tobacco processing facilities are being converted or torn down, and their electrical scopes come out whole — switchboards, panelboards, MCC line-ups and vintage gear that plants elsewhere are still hunting for parts to match. At the other end, Charlotte banking and Research Triangle facilities retire switchgear and standby generators that are clean, tested and recent.

Common questions
Hickory questions
How do you handle transformer oil in Hickory?
Oil is tested, drained and manifested through licensed handlers, and you receive the documentation with your paperwork. PCB-suspect units go under a separate waste profile. Nothing is left on your pad in Hickory and nothing gets dumped — the handling cost is already in the offer.
When do we get paid?
Before the equipment leaves your Hickory dock. Wire, company check or cashier's check, whichever your accounting group prefers. On large phased projects we pay per load as it ships rather than holding everything until the end.
What if the equipment is old or has no test records?
We still quote it. Records raise the number — a NETA test report on a breaker or a transformer is the single document that most improves what we can pay — but their absence disqualifies nothing. We price Hickory equipment on what our technicians and the replacement market say it is worth.
Are you insured to work inside our Hickory facility?
Yes. We carry general liability, auto, workers' compensation and umbrella coverage, and we issue a certificate naming your entity as additional insured before crews mobilize to Hickory. We also complete vendor onboarding, background checks and site-specific safety orientation on request.
Can you work nights, weekends or during a shutdown in Hickory?
Regularly. Most electrical removals happen outside production hours because that is when circuits can be released. Night, weekend, holiday and turnaround windows in Hickory are normal scheduling for us, not a premium service.
