Documented removals of heavy machinery wrecks across Australian industrial sites, with the constraints, cutting work and cleanup each one required.
Every review below comes from a factory floor we cleared. No polished marketing lines, just the practical difference between a blocked production bay and a clean, open slab ready for the next line.
We had a dead 60-tonne hydraulic press sitting in bay three for two years. Debarrassetonepave had it cut, lifted and hauled in four days. The floor was swept and the epoxy line was still intact. Production moved back in the same week.
Their crew flagged a leaking hydraulic cylinder before they even started cutting. That saved us a containment bill and kept the runoff out of the storm drain. They think about the site, not just the scrap value.
Three wrecked conveyor drives and a tangled overhead gantry gone over a long weekend. The plasma cutting was done in controlled passes so the sparks never reached the pallet racking. No fire watch drama, no downtime on Monday.
We needed a clear certificate for the insurer before the end of the quarter. Their paperwork arrived the same day the last truck left the yard. That kind of follow-through is rare when you are dealing with heavy wrecks.
The old stamping press was wedged between two load-bearing columns. Their riggers worked out a lift plan that did not touch the roof trusses. Clean removal, no structural survey needed afterwards.
Scrap value was never the point for us. We needed the floor space back and the hydraulic oil drained properly. They handled both, and the concrete pad was pressure-washed before they left.

Before we quote a dismantling job, we put the terms in writing. This page explains what counts as a wreck, what we remove, and where our responsibility ends at your factory gate.
A wreck is any stationary industrial unit that can no longer be operated safely or economically repaired. We include press brakes, stamping presses, injection moulding machines, large lathes, conveyor systems and similar fixed plant. We do not handle consumer vehicles, personal cars or any road-registered equipment.
Yes, when the anchor bolts are part of the machine's original mounting. We cut or extract embedded bolts, grind down protruding studs and patch the concrete surface to a level finish. If the foundation slab itself needs demolition below floor level, that is quoted separately after a site inspection.
We drain all hydraulic oil, gearbox lubricant and coolant before any cutting begins. The fluids are collected into sealed drums and transported to a licensed waste facility. You receive a disposal manifest for each drum, so your environmental records stay complete.
Separated steel, cast iron and non-ferrous alloys are loaded onto our trucks and taken to a certified scrap processor. We do not leave cut sections on your property overnight. The processor issues a weight ticket, and we share that document with you as proof of responsible recycling.
Our cutting crews hold current hot work permits and operate under a documented fire watch procedure. We bring our own extraction units to control fumes, and we confirm the factory's fire suppression system is active before the first arc is struck.
A clean handover means the machine is gone, the floor is swept of swarf and cutting debris, and all removed parts are off site. We photograph the empty bay and walk the area with your facilities manager. Only when you sign the handover sheet do we consider the job complete.
