EQUIPMENT RETIREMENT

Industrial equipment recycling in Melbourne: motors, electrical and lab gear

We take retired electrical, lab and workshop equipment, motors, tooling and spare parts from Melbourne businesses. We collect it from your floor or dock, or you bring it to Braeside by arrangement, and each type is recycled, reused or destroyed. Business and industry only. We don't offer residential services.

How we work

Industrial equipment recycling starts with a list of what is being retired: electrical gear, lab and test equipment, motors, tooling and spare parts.

The problem

A line upgrade or lab refit leaves a mix of cabinets, motors, test gear, tooling and spares. Your waste contract won't take it, the scrap yard only wants part of it, and nobody has time to sort the rest.

What Crex does

Send us the list. Photos and counts for each type of equipment. We tell you what we take and what is better left with someone else.
Agree the plan. We work out where each type goes before anything moves. If part of the list is not for us, we say so now.
Collect by type. Pallets or stillages loaded from your floor or dock, with each type kept together.

What we take

What we handle

Industrial equipment recycling Melbourne: what we take

Retired equipment, from single units to pallet and stillage lots, sorted by type before collection. The office decommissioning checklist helps you build the list.

Electrical equipment: switchboards, control cabinets, drives, power supplies and test gear. See electrical equipment from business sites.
Electric motors and transformers, disconnected, with weights and any oil noted.
Lab equipment: analysers, centrifuges, ovens and test rigs, with any refrigerant or residue noted. No glassware or chemicals.
Printers and copiers, POS and retail hardware and screens.
Lead-acid batteries from UPS units and forklifts, disconnected by a qualified technician.
Metal from retired equipment: frames, brackets, cabinets and stainless steel.
Copper cable and wiring and tungsten carbide tooling, kept separate.
Obsolete parts and spares and prototype units, with secure destruction where your brand needs it.

What we don't handle

Fixed plant and whole-factory machinery removal. For whole office floors, see commercial defit.
Building work, electrical disconnection and lease make-good. Those belong with your builder and electrician.
Oil-filled transformers and equipment still holding oil, coolant or refrigerant.
Equipment with unknown residue inside. Tell us what it held first.

Two ways to run it

One-off retirement

One collection for a line upgrade, lab refit or workshop change, once the equipment is disconnected and gathered in one place.

Regular collections

For businesses that retire equipment on a cycle, such as test labs and service fleets. We agree what we take and how to pack it once.

Your questions

Good questions. Clear answers.

Email our team

Do you take single items?

Yes, items like a motor, a control cabinet or a pallet of test gear. For very small lots we will tell you if a scrap yard or the manufacturer suits you better.

Do you remove fixed machinery?

No. We do not do machinery removal, rigging or cranes. We collect equipment that is already disconnected and can be loaded from the floor or dock.

Can we deliver equipment to your yard?

Yes, by arrangement for business loads. Book first and tell us what is coming.

What about the furniture and the rest of the site?

Tell us what else is there. Most of it can be quoted with the equipment as one job, and we will say early if any part is not for us.
