End-to-End Transformer Solutions
Transformer Exchange handles the entire process of moving and installing large power transformers. From yard pickup to final energization support, we coordinate the details so your team does not have to manage five different vendors.
Transport Preparation
Before shipment, we arrange everything required to safely move the unit:
- Removal and crating of radiators and bushings
- Oil reduction or full oil removal if required
- Nitrogen pressurization and internal protection
- Securing all loose accessories
- Photo documentation and condition review
Preparation is done based on OEM guidance and the specific transport method being used.
Oil Services
When oil needs to be removed, stored, filtered, or reinstalled, we coordinate:
- Oil draining and tanker transport
- Filtration and moisture control
- Temporary storage if required
- Refill and processing prior to startup
Oil work is scheduled alongside trucking, rail, or vessel timing to avoid delays.
Heavy Haul & Logistics
We coordinate transport for GSUs and large power transformers across North America and internationally. Scope typically includes:
- Route surveys and permitting
- Police and escort coordination
- Truck, rail, barge, and ocean freight planning
- Port handling and discharge
- Delivery sequencing to site

Site Delivery & Placement
Once the transformer arrives onsite, we coordinate crane and rigging crews for safe offloading and final placement on the foundation. We manage the reinstallation of radiators, bushings, and any components removed for transport. Our team works directly with site supervisors and EPC partners to ensure the setting process follows approved lift plans and project requirements.

As the project moves into its final phase, we remain involved to keep everything on track. We coordinate with testing teams, support oil processing and final assembly, and stay in close contact with utility and EPC representatives. All testing is performed by qualified providers, while we oversee the process to maintain continuity through energization.
