Old machinery occupies valuable floor space, creates logistical bottlenecks, and often presents environmental or safety risks that require specialist handling.

VIG has over four decades of experience, providing a complete scrap machinery removal service tailored to the needs of modern UK factories, warehouses, and industrial units.

VIG: The only solution for redundant factory assets

We understand the need to remove scrap machinery without disrupting ongoing operations, incurring unnecessary costs, or endangering your people. Whether you have single assets that have reached the end of their operational life or are clearing entire lines of legacy equipment, VIG is equipped to handle the task. We specialise in complex scrap machinery removals where assets are often integrated into existing infrastructure, or where size and weight require specialist rigging and lifting techniques. Our teams are highly experienced in working within live environments, ensuring operational continuity for your remaining plant.

Specialist dismantling and rigging

Every project begins with a detailed, site-specific risk assessment and method statement (RAMS). This is crucial for safely dismantling and removing heavy machinery. Our specialist mechanical and electrical engineers carefully isolate the assets, managing all disconnections. The equipment is then prepared for removal, often requiring piece-by-piece dismantling to facilitate its safe exit from the building. This expertise allows us to perform challenging heavy machinery removal projects, even where access is restricted or ceiling heights are low. Maximise your operational floor space
