Heartland Backup Power, Bought Turnkey
Central Iowa punches far above its weight in backup power: hyperscale data center campuses in Altoona, West Des Moines, and Waukee refresh generation with every expansion, the insurance and financial campuses downtown run serious standby plants, UnityPoint and MercyOne hospital systems replace code-mandated units, and the food processors and grain handlers across the region retire plant power during modernizations.
We buy data center and campus standby plants, diesel and natural gas units, and trailer-mounted machines from contractors — running or not, 50 kW to 2 MW+.
Text nameplate photos to 954-740-1983 for a firm offer, usually the same business day. Payment clears before pickup, and rigging, fuel evacuation, and freight are included.
Hyperscale Data Centers
The data center corridor west of the city replaces low-hour generation rows with every build-out. Those documented CAT and Cummins units are among our best-priced Midwest purchases.
Insurance Campuses & Hospitals
Downtown financial campuses and the UnityPoint and MercyOne systems replace winter-rated emergency plants on conservative cycles — we pay full value for those documented units.
Food Processing & Grain Industry
Processors and grain handlers across central Iowa retire workhorse units with real core value during modernizations. Single machines or complete lots — we buy both, with heavy rigging on our account.
I-80 & I-35: Our Cross-Country Lanes
Des Moines sits at the crossing of I-80 and I-35 — lanes our carriers run constantly. Purchased units load within days, and Ames, Ankeny, and the whole region ride the same trucks, winter or summer.
Payment clears before loading. See how the four steps work or use the form on this page.
