Scrap Machinery & Industrial Equipment Removal FAQ

Straight answers to the questions we hear most from Richmond and Metro Vancouver contractors, warehouse managers, and property owners about selling machinery for cash, free equipment removal, and industrial equipment removal. Don’t see your question? Call us at (236) 240-2138.

Cash For Machinery & Equipment
Do you pay cash for scrap machinery?

Yes. We pay cash for scrap machinery on the spot, whether it’s a single idle machine or a full shop’s worth of equipment. We weigh in or evaluate it, give you a straightforward number, and settle in cash or e-transfer before we leave.

Can I sell used industrial equipment for cash?

Yes. If you’re looking to sell industrial equipment for cash, call us with a description of what you have. We buy used industrial equipment whether it still runs or has been sitting unused, and we handle the pickup ourselves.

Do you buy old or broken machinery that no longer runs?

Yes. We buy old machines and broken machinery exactly as they sit. A seized engine, a dead motor, or missing components doesn’t disqualify a piece of equipment — our trucks are built to load and haul machinery that can’t move under its own power.

Do you pay cash for heavy equipment like forklifts and excavators?

Yes. We pay cash for heavy equipment including forklifts, excavators, bobcats, skid steers, and generators. Payout is based on current scrap metal market rates and certified scale weight, so what we quote on the phone is what we pay on pickup.

Free Removal & Pickup
Is machinery removal actually free?

Yes, free machinery removal is standard with every pickup we do. There’s no charge for towing, loading, or hauling equipment off your property, and there are no hidden fees added afterward.

Do you offer free heavy equipment removal for large machines?

Yes. Free heavy equipment removal applies to forklifts, generators, skid steers, and other large machinery too, not just smaller items. We bring the right trucks and equipment for the job so there’s no cost to you either way.

Do you handle factory shutdown equipment removal?

Yes, factory shutdown equipment removal is something we handle regularly, not an occasional side job. When a plant is closing or downsizing, we coordinate crews and trucks to clear the floor in one visit, including machinery, racking, and leftover scrap.

Can you handle warehouse equipment removal for a full clearout?

Yes. Warehouse equipment removal and plant equipment disposal are things we coordinate directly with property managers, logistics teams, or site supervisors, so the space gets cleared on your schedule rather than in pieces.

What Happens Next
What happens to the machinery after you pick it up — what happens to it?

Most of what we collect goes through industrial equipment processing for scrap. Steel, aluminum, copper, and other reusable metal is routed through our licensed scrap partners rather than sent to a landfill, and fluids are drained and disposed of per BC Ministry of Environment standards first.

Do you remove specific equipment like forklifts, excavators, or skid steers?

Yes. Scrap forklift removal, scrap excavator removal, scrap bobcat removal, scrap skid steer removal, and scrap generator removal are all things we do regularly, whether it’s one machine or several from the same site.

Are you buyers for construction equipment and demolition scrap?

Yes. We’re active construction equipment buyers and also handle construction site and demolition scrap clearance — rebar, structural steel, pipe bundles, and mixed building metal — for contractors and project managers needing a fast site clean-up.

Local Service & Process
Is there a machine removal company near me in Richmond or Metro Vancouver?

Yes. We’re based at 5640 Arcadia Rd in Richmond, BC and dispatch across Richmond and the surrounding Metro Vancouver area, so if you’re searching for scrap machinery removal near me or heavy equipment removal near me in this region, we’re a local option, not a call centre routing you elsewhere.

How do I sell old factory equipment I no longer need?

Call us with a rough description of the equipment and its location. We’ll give you a cash offer over the phone in a few minutes, and if you accept, we usually schedule pickup the same day or the next morning.

How is the payout for scrap machinery or heavy equipment worked out?

Valuations are based on current scrap metal market rates, the certified scale weight of the machine, and the presence of higher-value components. We explain the number before we load anything, so there are no surprises at pickup.

Do I need to prepare anything before scrap equipment pickup?

Not much. Clear away any personal items or hazardous materials stored on or in the machine, and make sure our crew can access it. Beyond that, we handle the loading, paperwork, and disposal ourselves.
