  • Complete or partly stripped
  • Old masts and towers too
  • Sent to a licensed recycler

Why it still pays

Rigs are heavy steel

  • Heavy parts: mast, frame, carrier, winch, rod rack.
  • Size matters: a big rig carries far more steel.
  • Working parts like a good head or compressor add to it.

Questions

Common questions

Do you take rigs that are only a frame?

Yes. Stripped carriers, masts and frames are still steel. Send a photo so we can plan the load.

What happens to the fluids?

Oil, fuel and coolant are drained and handled separately at the recycler before the steel is processed.

Will you clean up the spot?

We plug leaks and use absorbent before loading, and we take loose parts lying around the rig.

Old rig rusting in the yard?

Send a photo or two. We'll tell you if it's worth a pickup.
