Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some common questions people have about how scrap metal pickup services work and what to expect during collection.
How quickly can scrap metal pickup services usually respond?
Response times depend on location, demand and the size of the collection. Many operators aim to complete pickups within one to three days. Busy periods or remote areas may take longer. Some services prioritise commercial clients or larger loads. It’s always best to confirm availability when booking.
What kinds of items are suitable for crane truck collection?
Crane trucks are designed for heavy, bulky or awkward scrap that’s difficult to load manually. This can include machinery, structural steel, farm equipment and mixed-metal piles. Smaller pieces may be collected as part of a larger load. The truck’s reach allows access to tight or uneven areas. Operators generally assess suitability based on weight, size and location.
Do metals need to be sorted before a pickup?
Sorting can speed up weighing and improve pricing accuracy, but it isn’t always required. Many services sort metals on-site using separate bins or piles. Pre-sorting may be useful for customers with mixed materials or limited space. Items containing fluids or hazardous parts may need extra preparation. It’s a good idea to ask about requirements beforehand.
Crane Truck
Our crane truck takes the hard work out of moving heavy or awkward scrap, saving you the effort of lifting or transporting anything yourself. It can reach tight spaces, pick up oversized loads and handle materials that would be difficult to load manually. With certified digital scales on board, everything is weighed accurately on-site, making the whole process faster, safer and far more convenient.
