Start with an equipment list
A useful first submission identifies what is available, where it is located and when the owner wants it removed. You do not need a complete engineering package to begin a conversation. Photos and a short inventory often give a buyer enough context to identify the next questions.
For multiple assets, use one row per unit or group of identical units. Give each item a reference that also appears in the photo filenames. This keeps nameplates, condition notes and quantities attached to the correct equipment.
- Equipment type and quantity
- Manufacturer, model and serial number, where available
- Site location, including country
- Current condition and whether the equipment is still installed
- Requested removal date and the person coordinating access
Make the nameplate readable
For transformers, include the kVA or MVA rating, voltage ratings and whether the unit is oil-filled or dry-type. A clear image of the complete nameplate is generally more useful than copying only a few values into a message. For switchgear and breakers, include the identification plate and any available ratings or equipment schedules.
Take an overall photo as well as detail photos. Show the enclosure, connections and visible condition. Only obtain information from areas that the site operator permits you to access.
Describe condition without filling in the gaps
State whether an asset is operating, unused surplus, decommissioned, damaged or being offered for material recovery. If the condition is unknown, say so. Available test results, service records and oil reports can support the assessment; their absence should be made clear.
For damaged equipment, describe the known event or issue and include current photographs. A buyer needs the actual condition to assess both equipment value and handling requirements.
Include the site constraints
Let us know whether the equipment is ready to load, requires dismantling or remains connected to operating systems. Access restrictions, lifting constraints, outage dates and a fixed site-clearance deadline all affect the removal plan.
You can submit photos, documents and spreadsheets through the equipment form. If you are making an introduction, a short message with the asset owner and a general description is enough to start. More detailed purchase and removal terms are agreed after the initial review.
