GENERATOR SELLER GUIDE
Selling a Cannabis Facility’s Generator
Grow operations run 24/7 lighting and HVAC — and serious backup power behind it. When facilities upgrade, consolidate, or close, we buy the generators.
Why cannabis facilities run big power.
Indoor cultivation is one of the most power-intensive commercial operations: high-intensity lighting, HVAC, and dehumidification running 24/7. A power event does not just stop work — it threatens the crop. So licensed facilities install serious standby generation, typically 200 kW to 1.5 MW, and maintain it as crop insurance.
When facilities sell.
The industry is consolidating: licenses change hands, operations merge into larger facilities, and early-generation grows get replaced by efficient new builds. Each transition releases backup power — often relatively young units with low hours, bought during the build-out wave and replaced during consolidation.
What we buy.
Standby diesel units from licensed cultivation and processing facilities — the same makes and sizes as any commercial market: Cummins, Caterpillar, Kohler, Generac. Equipment is equipment; we handle the machinery, you handle your licensing compliance. Discretion and straightforward paperwork, like any commercial sale.
Sell it the straightforward way.
Photograph what you have — nameplates, labels, and overall condition — and send it to Ironcrest for today’s offer. We buy nationally and coordinate pickup from your site.
