Why existing units matter
New heavy-duty turbines are booked years ahead, and OEMs are selling delivery slots for the end of the decade.
A unit that already exists, on standby or in storage, skips that queue. It still needs its records gathered, an independent inspection and a plan to move it. We find the unit, check the paperwork against public records, and keep both sides moving to a signed contract.
