Machinery Removal & Disposal

Machinery removal and responsible disposal for the equipment you are retiring. We decommission it, rig it out, and recycle or dispose of it through licensed partners.

Getting a machine out is as much a job as getting one in. Retiring a machine is not a scrap call. It is decommissioning, rigging, transport and responsible disposal, and it is the same discipline we bring to a move.

The Problem

An Unused Machine Is Still Taking Up Your Floor

Redundant equipment blocks space and can carry fluids and hazards that need handling the right way. Removal and disposal done properly clears the floor, keeps you onside with the rules, and can even hand some value back.

What We Cover

What Removal and Disposal Covers

From a single retired machine to a full plant clear-out, we handle the decommission, the removal and the disposal, and recover value where the material has it.

  • DecommissionUtility isolation, lockout and tagout, fluids drained and captured, and a sequential teardown so nothing is damaged coming apart.
  • RemoveRigged out with our own gantries and fleet, permits pulled for oversize loads, and the floor cleared.
  • Dispose ResponsiblyRecycled or disposed of through licensed partners, with fluids picked up by licensed hazardous material handlers, documented under your RPRA registration number, and the records handed back to you.
  • Recover ValueScrap credits passed back where the material has value, so removal offsets some of its cost.

How It Works

How a Removal Runs

  1. Walk the Floor and Inventory

    We assess the equipment, the access and any fluids or hazards, and confirm what goes to scrap and what can be recycled.

  2. Scope and Quote

    Scoped before we price it, with any scrap credits noted up front, so the quote is the invoice.

  3. Decommission and Rig Out

    Utilities isolated, fluids captured, the machine dismantled and rigged out with our own gear.

  4. Dispose or Recycle

    Material recycled or disposed of through licensed partners, and your floor handed back clear.

Why ReadyForce

Why Plants Call ReadyForce to Remove and Dispose

  • One Call, In and Out

    The same crews that move machinery in can decommission and take it out, with no second contractor to manage.

  • Millwright Decommissioning

    Our Millwrights disconnect and dismantle to spec, so nothing is damaged coming apart.

  • Own Gear to Rig It Out

    Gantries, forklifts and fleet to get heavy, awkward equipment out of tight spaces.

  • Responsible Disposal

    Licensed recycling and hazardous material partners, with disposal records for your files.

One Call for the Whole Scope

The Move Rarely Stops There

Taking a machine out usually means disconnecting mechanical, repairing the floor and closing the openings back up, and often setting its replacement. It is one ReadyForce call, and one crew that already works together, for the whole scope.
