Turn Old Gensets Into Real Value
Elkhart’s economy is driven by RV assembly and component manufacturing — Thor Industries, Forest River and Jayco operate major plants in and around Elkhart, and suppliers like Lippert Components keep busy in Elkhart County. Heavy shop floors, paint booths, and fabrication lines on US-20 and near the Indiana Toll Road (I-80/90) create routine equipment turnover as facilities retool, expand, or consolidate.
We buy the generators those operations replace: industrial diesel and natural-gas sets, standby systems, trailer-mounted units, and large prime movers from 50 kW to 2 MW+. Brands we purchase include Caterpillar, Cummins, Kohler, Generac and MTU. Running or not, skid-mounted or trailerized, from shop yards, rail spurs, or service contractors’ lots — we make firm offers that reflect local demand.
Selling is simple: text clear photos of the nameplate and a few shots of the unit to 954-740-1983, and we’ll respond with a firm offer the same business day. Payment clears before pickup; we coordinate rigging, fuel evacuation, crane service and freight out of Elkhart County Industrial Park, factory yards off US-20, or railside at the Elkhart Amtrak/Norfolk Southern area.
RV Assembly Plants
Assembly lines for Thor Industries, Forest River and Jayco regularly turn over support equipment during model changeovers. Those factories release skid-mounted standby sets and trailer gensets—often Cummins or Caterpillar—used for testing, paint booths, and temporary power during line reconfigurations.
Component Suppliers
Parts manufacturers and cabinet shops around Elkhart County, including suppliers clustered near County Road 6 and the industrial park, retire generators as they upgrade compressors or backup systems. We buy smaller 50–500 kW diesel and natural-gas units as well as larger standby replacements.
Contractors & Fleet Yards
Mechanical contractors, rental yards and mobile service fleets in Elkhart and Goshen sell trailerized and skid gensets when contracts end or fleets refresh. Those units are often well-labeled, mobile, and ready for rigging and transport; we purchase them running or needing repair.
I-80/90 and US-20 Corridor
Elkhart sits on key freight lanes: the Indiana Toll Road (I-80/90) and US-20 connect plants to Chicago, Cleveland and Toledo markets. Rail access via Norfolk Southern and the Elkhart Amtrak area makes railside removal straightforward. We coordinate pickups that minimize downtime for busy yards and meet local permitting for crane and truck access.
We also buy generators across the Michiana region — Goshen, Nappanee, South Bend, Mishawaka, Warsaw and Plymouth — and handle logistics from Elkhart to Chicago or Indianapolis bound freight. Remember: you get a firm offer and payment clears before pickup; we never require you to arrange transport or on-site rigging.
