Site engineers and cutting crews who strip down industrial wrecks on factory floors across Australia, from 40-ton press brakes to rusted conveyor lines.
For plant managers and maintenance leads reviewing our specialist work, these short notes cover the usual follow-up questions: how we handle hydraulic fluid drainage, what happens to the cut steel, and how long a typical strip-down takes on a factory floor.
Press brake removal at a sheet-metal shop in Brisbane: we isolated the hydraulic lines first, drained 180 litres of oil into sealed drums, then cut the frame into four lifts for the crane. Floor patch-up was included before we left the site.
Scrap steel from dismantled conveyor systems goes straight to a licensed recycler in Queensland. We sort ferrous and non-ferrous on site, so the only thing leaving your building is clean, weighed material with a signed disposal certificate.
For a 30-ton injection moulding machine in Sydney, our crew worked two night shifts to avoid stopping production. The whole unit was unbolted, lifted in sections, and trucked out before the morning shift started.
Transformer and switchgear dismantling needs extra care around PCB oil and copper windings. We bring our own containment mats and testing kit, and we document every step so your environmental report stays straightforward.
If you are unsure whether a wrecked machine can be moved whole or has to be cut down, send us a photo and the serial plate. We will tell you which approach fits your doorway, crane reach, and truck access before quoting a day rate.
Our operators hold current licences for rigging, crane supervision, and confined space entry. That matters when a machine sits in a pit or under a mezzanine where a standard tow truck simply cannot reach.
When a press brake, extruder or conveyor line has reached the end of its service life, the wreck still occupies floor space, ties up overhead crane time and blocks reconfiguration. We dismantle it on site, cut it down to manageable sections and haul every piece away so your production floor can be repurposed without waiting on a general contractor.
Most single-machine removals are finished in three to five working days. We coordinate the crane, torch crew and transport in one pass, so the bay is cleared and swept before your next shift plan is finalised.
Hydraulic oil, coolant residue and electrical components are drained and logged before any cutting starts. You receive a disposal record for every hazardous material, which keeps your environmental compliance file clean during audits.
Concrete anchors, embedded base plates and overhead service trays are removed with the machine, not left for a second crew. We patch the floor slab to a level finish so the next installation starts on a flat surface.
Ferrous and non-ferrous metals are sorted at our yard and weighed under a shared ticket. The rebate is itemised on your invoice, so you see exactly what the wreck returned instead of paying a flat removal fee.
A single project lead handles the site inspection, permit paperwork, crane booking and waste manifests. You are not chasing three subcontractors to find out when the bay will be free again.
