The Joliet Surplus Market
Joliet's industrial base is heavily anchored by its massive logistics and intermodal sector, most notably the CenterPoint Intermodal Center, which stands as North America's largest inland port. The area is a major hub for warehousing, distribution, and manufacturing, hosting massive facilities for companies like Amazon, IKEA, and Lion Electric, alongside heavy industry such as the ExxonMobil refinery. As these sprawling distribution centers, manufacturing plants, and logistics hubs expand, upgrade, or reconfigure their operations, they frequently decommission surplus electrical equipment. This generates a steady supply of used circuit breakers, transformers, switchgear, and motor control centers that are retired to make way for modernized infrastructure.
We also buy transformers in nearby Crest Hill, IL, Lockport, IL, New Lenox, IL, Shorewood, IL and across the wider Joliet, IL region.
