Equipment Is What We Do
Most vehicle buyers in Richmond stop at cars and trucks. Brighouse Commercial was built to handle the heavy items too. Since 2018, we have picked up machines and work vehicles from warehouses, workshops, job sites and business lots across the city. If it is scrap and we can buy it, we want to hear about it.
Equipment and Machinery We Buy
Forklifts
Warehouse and outdoor forklifts that are old, broken or no longer needed. Our forklift removal Richmond page goes into detail.
Excavators, Skid Steers and Bobcats
Mini excavators, larger excavators, skid steers and Bobcats from construction sites and contractors. See our construction equipment removal page.
Generators and Compressors
Portable and towable generators, air compressors and similar site equipment.
Factory and Warehouse Machines
Production machines, presses and other large metal equipment from factories, workshops and warehouses.
Work Vehicles
Box trucks, boom trucks, work vans and buses. Our commercial vehicle removal page covers them, and we can often collect vehicles and equipment in the same visit.
Factory and Warehouse Clear Outs
Shutdowns, moves, downsizing and liquidations often leave a building full of machines nobody wants to deal with. We make it one job instead of many.
Send One List
Write down each machine with its make, model, approximate size and weight, and add photos. A rough list is enough to start.
Get One Clear Answer
We review every item and tell you before booking whether it is a cash offer, a no cost pickup or a removal charge. Most heavy items are picked up with free towing, and you always know the terms first.
Plan Around Your Building
Tell us about loading docks, door sizes, ceiling height, floor conditions and the hours the building is open. We plan the trucks and timing so the job goes smoothly.
Paid Before We Leave
When the equipment is loaded, we pay by cash or e-Transfer before we drive away.
Details That Help Us Give You an Offer
| Detail | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Make and model | Tells us what the machine is and how it was built. |
| Hour meter reading | Shows how much work the machine has done. |
| Approximate weight and size | Helps us plan the right truck and set the value. |
| Running or not | Machines that run usually get more. |
| What is missing | Missing engines, batteries or attachments change the value. |
| Photos | Front, sides, data plate and any damage. |
| Site access | Gates, docks, doors, ground and parking for our truck. |
Offers depend on the machine’s condition, what it is made of, its size and current metal prices. We set the exact amount only after you share the details.
Cash Offer, No Cost Pickup or Removal Charge
Every machine is different, so we are open about how we decide.
- Cash offer: most equipment with metal value or working parts gets a cash offer, paid at pickup.
- No cost pickup: some items have little value but are still worth collecting, so we take them away for free.
- Removal charge: rarely, a very large item with little value or a very difficult site may need a charge.
We always tell you which one applies before booking. You never find out at the door.

Paperwork for Selling Equipment
We buy equipment with clear ownership only.
- The seller must own the equipment or be authorised to sell it for the business.
- There must be no loan, lease or lien owing on the machine.
- Have photo ID and any proof of ownership you hold, such as the original bill of sale or invoice.
- Equipment that is registered with ICBC, such as some trailers and work trucks, uses the APV250 and APV9T like a car.
Our BC paperwork guide has a section on selling equipment.
Equipment Pickup Across Richmond
We pick up within about 10 km of our office on Arcadia Road in Brighouse, and further on request. Much of our equipment work comes from the business and industrial areas of North Richmond, including Bridgeport, Sea Island and the Cambie areas, and from larger properties in East Richmond.
Heavy Equipment Removal FAQ
What heavy equipment do you buy?
Brighouse Commercial buys forklifts, excavators, Bobcats and skid steers, generators, compressors, and factory or warehouse machinery, as well as work vehicles like box trucks and boom trucks. If it is scrap and we can buy it, send us the details and photos. We review each item and explain the terms before booking.
Do you buy machines that do not run?
Yes. Many of the machines we collect have not run in years. A machine that does not start still has value in its metal and its parts. Let us know it does not run so we plan the right loading equipment for the pickup.
Is heavy equipment removal free?
Most heavy items are picked up with free towing. Depending on the item’s value, size and the site, the result is a cash offer, a no cost pickup or, rarely, a removal charge. We tell you which one applies before booking, so there are no surprises.
What details should I send for a machine?
Send the make, model, hour meter reading, approximate weight and size, whether it runs, and clear photos of the machine and its data plate. Add notes about access at the site, such as loading docks, gates and ground conditions.
Can you clear several machines from a factory or warehouse?
Yes. Send a list with photos of everything you want removed. We review every item and plan the pickup in as few visits as possible, with timing that suits your business.
How do you pay for equipment?
We pay by cash or e-Transfer at pickup, before the equipment leaves your site.
Do you take small tools or small appliances?
No. We focus on heavy equipment, machinery and vehicles. We do not pick up small items, small appliances or tires, and we do not offer junk removal.
