The Town of Banff is selling one used electrical transformer.
This transformer was installed for a new institutional building in Banff in 2022 and was recently removed from service due to updated Fortis requirements related to a new solar array installation. The transformer was functional at the time of removal and would have remained in service if the utility requirement change had not required replacement with a different transformer.
The unit is reported to be in excellent condition.
Condition: Used. Functional at time of removal. Removed due to utility requirement change, not due to known operational failure.
Inspection: Inspection may be available by appointment only. All inspection requests must be submitted through GovDeals and are subject to Town staff availability, site access, safety requirements, and operational needs. Unscheduled inspections may not be accommodated.
Pickup/Removal: Pickup is by appointment only. Pickup appointments are available Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., excluding holidays and operational closures. Preferred pickup is Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday following auction close, subject to staff availability. If you are unable to pick up during these times, please do not bid.
The buyer is responsible for all loading, removal, transportation, permits, insurance, and related costs. The buyer must bring appropriate equipment, labour, and transportation to safely remove the transformer. Due to the nature and weight of this item, appropriate lifting/loading equipment may be required. Loading assistance, if required, must be arranged in advance through the Town and is not guaranteed.
Buyers arriving without a confirmed appointment or suitable loading/removal arrangements may be refused release and required to reschedule. The Town is not responsible for costs incurred by the buyer due to arriving without an appointment or proper removal arrangements.
The successful buyer must sign the GovDeals Bill of Sale and any required release/transfer documentation before the item will be released. The Town will not release the item until payment has been confirmed, pickup has been scheduled, and documentation is complete.
All questions must be submitted through GovDeals. Item is sold as-is, where-is, with no warranties or guarantees expressed or implied.
