How it comes out decides what it is worth. The same crews that install and move equipment dismantle yours with the connections match-marked, so it can be resold or reinstalled as a working machine. We can move the equipment wherever it goes next, and when scrap is the plan, we handle that too.

What Removal Covers

Safe Machinery Decommissioning, Removal and Asset Recovery

  • Lockout & Disconnection

    Power, gas, air, hydraulics and process safely locked out, drained and disconnected before anything moves.

  • Dismantling & Match-Marking

    Equipment taken apart with the connections labelled, so it can be reassembled as a working machine.

  • Rigging & Rig-Out

    Heavy lift and rigging out through tight access and low headroom by the crews who move equipment for a living.

  • Site Clearing

    Foundations, supports and services cleared so the floor is ready for what is next.

  • Asset Recovery & Resale

    We can coordinate storage to arrange resale, redeployment or scrap for whatever is coming out.

  • Relocation

    Moving the line somewhere else? The same crew removes it here and reinstalls it there.

How It Works

How a Decommissioning Runs

  1. Walk the Site & Plan

    We walk your floor, scope the equipment, access and hazards, and price it. The quote is the invoice, with no surprise change orders.

  2. Lock Out & Disconnect

    Power, fluids and process safely isolated, drained and disconnected, following strict lockout procedure.

  3. Dismantle & Match-Mark

    Taken apart in the right order with connections labelled, so it can be reinstalled or resold as a working asset.

  4. Rig Out & Load

    Rigged out through the access you have, then loaded and secured for transport, storage, resale or scrap.

  5. Clear & Hand Back

    Site cleared and handed back ready for the next use, with the equipment on its way to resale, storage or scrap.

Resale, Redeployment or Scrap

Working Machine or Scrap, It Comes Out Right

Some machines come out headed for a buyer or another plant, others for scrap. We do both often. Equipment with a next life is dismantled and match-marked so it goes back together as a working machine, and we can coordinate storage to arrange resale or redeployment. Equipment at the end of its run is scrapped responsibly.

  • Match-Marked for ReassemblyEvery connection labelled, so a buyer or your other site gets a machine that goes back together.
  • Resale & RedeploymentWhen equipment has a next life, we can coordinate storage to arrange resale or move it to your other plant.
  • Scrap Handled ResponsiblyWe scrap machines for customers often. Everything is sorted and recycled, and the site is left clean.

One Call for the Whole Scope

The Job Rarely Stops at Millwright Work

When the job also needs rigging, process utility piping, or the dock door running again, it is one ReadyForce call, and one crew that already works together, for the whole scope.

Clearing a line or closing a plant? Get it scoped so it comes out safely and goes where you need it: resale, another site, storage or scrap.
