Sell Industrial Electrical Equipment in the Chicago Area.
Ironcrest reviews surplus and removed electrical equipment across the Chicago area, including equipment from plants, contractors, facility upgrades and decommissioning projects. Send photos before scrapping so reusable switchgear, breakers, transformers, MCCs and bus systems can be identified.
What to include in your submission
- Switchgear and switchboards
- Circuit breakers and distribution equipment
- Transformers and disconnects
- MCCs, starters and buckets
- Bus duct, bus plugs and copper bus
- Project surplus and demolition takeouts
Start with photos, not paperwork.
For an initial review, send clear overall photos plus close-ups of manufacturer labels, part numbers or nameplates when available. Include approximate quantity, city/state, condition and your preferred timing.
Preserve value: Keep identifiable equipment and unused material intact until it has been reviewed. Cutting, mixing or removing labels can make resale evaluation harder.

Before you send the inventory
What areas around Chicago can I submit from?
Send the location with your photos. We review opportunities throughout the Chicago area and evaluate pickup or removal logistics based on the material and project.
Can you review equipment before demolition starts?
Yes. Earlier photos and nameplates are useful because equipment can lose resale value once it is dismantled or mixed into scrap.
What if I have copper cable too?
Include it. Electrical projects often contain several material streams, and reviewing them together can simplify the sale.
