Generators Move Here
Urbandale sits on the northwest edge of the Des Moines metro, where distribution and light-manufacturing facilities cluster along I-35, I-80 and the I-235 spur. The city serves warehousing and fulfillment operations that support Hy-Vee and other regional grocers, regional campuses near Des Moines International Airport, and healthcare providers in Polk County—all common sources of generator turnover as sites upgrade or decommission standby systems.
We buy diesel and natural-gas gensets from Urbandale facilities: stationary standby, prime-power units, trailer-mounted sets and rental returns. Typical purchases range from 50 kW up to 2 MW and larger. Brands we purchase include Caterpillar, Cummins, Kohler, Generac and MTU. Running or not, installed or in a yard—if your plant is ready to move a set, call or text.
The local process is built for facility teams and contractors: text clear photos of the nameplate and equipment to 954-740-1983. We respond with a firm offer—often the same business day. Payment clears before pickup; we coordinate rigging, fuel evacuation, crane service, and freight so your maintenance or operations staff can close the job without site headaches.
Distribution & Warehousing
Urbandale’s warehouse parks and fulfillment centers along the interstate corridors turn over gensets when tenants change or when companies upgrade to newer standby systems. We buy skid-mounted and trailer generators used for dock operations, cold-storage support, and temporary backup power tied to logistics operations.
Healthcare Facilities
Hospitals and clinics in the Des Moines metro—serviced by MercyOne, UnityPoint Health and other providers—replace critical standby systems on strict timelines. We purchase hospital-rated standby and emergency generators, including transfer-switch paired units, helping asset managers retire older systems cleanly with coordinated site support.
Manufacturing & Ag Suppliers
Light manufacturers, agri-supply distributors and food processors around Urbandale decommission gensets during facility upgrades. Those units—often Cummins and Caterpillar—are units we buy whether they’re permanently installed or set aside for removal, and we arrange the heavy lifting and transport.
I-35 / I-80 Freight Routes
Freight and rigging in the Des Moines area run on I-35, I-80 and the I-235 connector, making generator loading and transport straightforward. We work with local carriers and can coordinate rail-served or truck freight across Polk County and beyond, minimizing downtime for site staff and contractors.
We buy from sites in Urbandale and surrounding suburbs—Des Moines, West Des Moines, Waukee, Clive, Ankeny and Johnston—handling all pickup details. Remember: we issue a firm offer and payment clears before pickup so your finance or surplus team can close the asset recovery swiftly.
