Ensure to take pictures of each side of the equipment
Showing as much wear and assembly as possible
The more pictures the better
Photos like the above are great to see overall condition of the equipment to plan ways to load and ship equipment.

Used Heavy Equipment Cleanup & Removal
Clear Out Old Machinery Safely and Efficiently
Unused or abandoned heavy equipment can quickly become a safety hazard and take up valuable space on industrial sites. Whether it’s outdated processing machinery, damaged equipment, or decommissioned units, removing it properly requires planning, the right equipment, and coordinated transportation.
We help facilities evaluate, prepare, and remove used heavy equipment so sites can reclaim space and maintain safe operations.
Site Assessment & Planning
Every cleanup project starts with understanding the equipment and site conditions. Our team reviews:
Equipment size and weight
Structural condition of the machinery
Accessibility for loading equipment
Potential salvage or parts recovery value
Transportation requirements
Some machines can be removed intact, while others require dismantling to meet transport limits.
Equipment Preparation
Before heavy equipment can be moved, it must often be prepared to ensure safe transport.
Preparation may include
Draining fuel, oil, hydraulic fluids, and coolant
Removing attachments such as buckets, conveyors, guards, or motors
Disconnecting power sources
Separating major structural components when necessary
Proper preparation helps prevent environmental issues and ensures loads remain safe during transport.
Downsizing Equipment for Transport
Large industrial machinery often exceeds highway transport limits. In these cases, equipment must be broken down into manageable sections.
Common methods include:
Mechanical dismantling of machine components
Torch cutting structural steel frames
Cold cutting using saws when flame cutting is restricted
Hydraulic shears for heavy structural materials
This allows equipment to be safely loaded and transported without exceeding weight or size limits.
Loading Heavy Equipment
Once machinery is prepared, the next step is safe loading for transport.
Depending on the project, equipment may be loaded using:
Cranes for heavy lifting
Forklifts for smaller components
Winches for pulling equipment onto trailers
Heavy Duty Frontend Loader
Proper weight distribution and load securement are essential for safe transportation.
Transportation & Logistics
Typical transport methods include:
Lowboy trailers for large intact machinery
Flatbeds for dismantled equipment components
Roll-off containers for smaller scrap materials
Step-deck trailers for mid-sized equipment
Our team coordinates transportation logistics to ensure equipment is moved efficiently and safely.
