Machinery Dismantle Service
As technology evolves and progresses, newer, more efficient models eventually replace machinery, rendering it outdated.
What should we do with old or broken industrial machinery when it loses its usefulness?
Well, that is where we come in, as proper machinery disposal is crucial to avoid environmental hazards and ensure safety.
What types of machinery can you dispose of for free?
Whether you have a single machine or need multiple heavy machinery removals, our machine removal service can dispose of most machinery for free.
However, items containing significant hazardous materials may incur a surcharge, or we may be unable to handle them due to safety legislation.
So, please let us know when you get in touch, and we can tell you whether it's something we can manage for free or if a surcharge will be needed to ensure hazardous material disposal aligns with regulations and safety procedures for your machine.
What does your machinery disposal service include?
We provide a Free-of-charge service to remove any machinery, in any shape, size, or quantity, from your premises or production lines.
Our expert team can also carry out this task quickly and adjust our shift pattern to minimise your downtime or production loss as well.
As we also own all our heavy lifting equipment, contract lifting equipment, power generation, and plant machinery, we can accommodate your needs without requiring you to hire any additional machinery for the removal, and our experienced machine movers will provide a quick and safe machinery removal service.
Type of machinery we can dispose of
Machinery could include but is not limited to, overhead cranes, gantry cranes, steel structures, large presses, small presses, rolling mills, steel racking/pallet racking, CNC machines, metal bridge sections, and any factory equipment or industrial machinery that you require disposing of.
We can also remove storage tanks of all shapes and sizes as well.
To get your asset recovery started, we only require the dimensions, weights, and any information regarding the setup, restrictions such as height, building components, doorways, and access to and from the property - including ground conditions inside and out as well.
This will allow our team to carry out effective project management for the project planning stage, and the ability to send the correct heavy-lifting equipment and material-handling tools for the job to move your plant equipment correctly.
For instance, our lifting services can vary depending on whether it's a full-on machinery disposal service we are doing for a factory clearance one-off standalone production machine.
For instance, full-on factory relocation services that are seeing some machines disposed of as part of the process will require different equipment, such as certain more specialized forklift trucks being brought, over us removing industrial air conditioning units, for instance.
Site Visits
Our project managers can also conduct a site visit if needed. With our years of experience, we understand that each removal project presents unique challenges; consequently, for more complex dismantles, a site visit helps us plan accordingly.
Machinery Disposal
Disposal of your old machines could involve machinery dismantling and cutting oversized steelwork into smaller sections to allow safe removal through the factory.
Our industrial dismantling service will provide you with all the necessary gas and cutting equipment, and we will also dismantle and load the heavy equipment onto our own transport for removal, ensuring efficient full factory removals or new site removals occur easily.
Risk Management and Site Tidiness
Furthermore, we will provide comprehensive risk assessments and method statements for all work carried out, and adhere to strict safety procedures and regulations.
The site will also be left clean and tidy, removing any trip hazards.
We are fully insured and licensed waste carriers, ensuring proper waste disposal, and can provide the correct documentation upon request if needed.
Fully Trained and Licensed
Silver Knight's expert team of movers includes fully trained and skilled machine movers, burners, and licensed waste carriers, all with the necessary insurance.
With years of experience and a proven track record, we can also ensure safe and efficient machinery movements of the dismantled machines afterwards.
How do you determine the type of machine you are trying to dispose of?
The first step in proper machinery disposal is determining the type of equipment you need to dispose of.
Machinery can range from small electronic CNC machines to larger industrial equipment and plant machinery, and each type requires a specific disposal method - you can't just tip them.
For instance, we need to understand the machine we are dealing with, so any information you can provide when you get in touch helps us assist you effectively and comply with all relevant environmental regulations as well.
Machine Disposal Disassemble
As part of the service, we can then also dismantle the machinery onsite and take it away if required.
Our industrial plant and machinery dismantling services also ensure it is moved safely.
How can I determine the best method for disposing of a machine?
The best method for disposing of machinery depends on its type and any applicable environmental regulations.
Our expert team can then review the machine as part of our service and let you know, ensuring that while we do so, we follow best practices and comply with all waste disposal regulations at the same time.
What types of machines can be recycled?
We can recycle a wide range of machines, from presses to all types of factory equipment and industrial machinery.
Our services include scrap metal recycling of the machine as well, where appropriate.
How can I ensure compliance with environmental regulations when disposing of a machine?
You can ensure compliance with environmental regulations and safety legislation by letting us handle the disposal for you.
This is because we adhere to all legal guidance and follow best practices in waste disposal, so you won't have to worry about it.
What should I do if the machine contains hazardous materials?
If the machine contains hazardous materials, our professional disposal service can handle it for you as well.
We are licensed waste carriers and will safely dispose of the machinery and any hazardous materials in accordance with all laws, safety measures, and regulations.
What should I do if I need help properly disposing of a machine?
If you need help disposing of a machine correctly, our expert team can provide guidance on the best methods and your options.
For instance, we aim to ensure complete client satisfaction and can automatically handle the disposal of your items.
Can I dispose of a machine at the tip?
Do not dispose of machinery at your regular tip.
Many machines contain hazardous materials that can be harmful if not disposed of properly, and doing so may breach safety legislation.
Consequently, correct and proper waste disposal is essential.
What should I do if the machine is too heavy or large to move independently?
If the machine is too heavy or large to move on your own, you should hire a professional disposal service like ours.
We have the necessary heavy-lifting equipment, material-handling expertise, and experienced machine movers to safely carry and dispose of the machinery.
