Metal Scrap Self-Pickup in Kharkiv and the Region

    When it comes to disposing of metal scrap, it is essential to understand that only a limited number of companies in Kharkiv can handle it effectively. The reason for this limited availability is that the removal of bulky metal scrap and metal structures often requires highly skilled cutters, loaders, and riggers. While dismantling and delivering the required amount of metal scrap may seem straightforward at first glance, there are numerous challenges involved.

Difficulties in Demolition

    The first challenge an individual may face is the complexity of the demolition process. It can be challenging to find a worker who can professionally cut metal structures, considering the dimensions, height, and depth of the cuts, in order to reduce demolition costs effectively.

Choosing the Right Transport for Removal

    Frequently, a scrap truck or a manipulator with a grabber is used to handle bulky metal scrap weighing up to 20 tons. For loading crates, kiosks, and metal barrels, a hook manipulator is sufficient, capable of lifting up to 2 tons, just like a grabber-equipped scrap truck. In some cases, smaller trucks capable of carrying 3-5 tons of metal scrap are used.

Accurate Weighing

    One of the most crucial aspects of the self-pickup process is precise weighing, which can only be ensured by reputable and well-established facilities. It is not uncommon for smaller scrap yards to manipulate the weight by removing impurities or rounding up the weight in their favor. It is preferable to weigh the scrap on electronic scales, which provide a small margin of error, typically within 3-5 kilograms.

    It is not recommended to use mechanical scales or unreliable scrap collection points, especially when there is a clear overpricing of metal scrap. It is important to understand that significant price differences of 200-300 UAH per tonne cannot be justified, even considering the average price of black metal in the city.

    We recommend collaborating with us. However, if you have chosen another company for your metal scrap removal, we advise reaching out to us for consultation and accurate weighing.

    We are pleased to cooperate with both small and large enterprises, offering them the highest prices, integrity, and professionalism.
