Crane-assisted scrap metal removal
When heavy or awkward scrap needs to be cleared, our HIAB metal collection keeps your project on schedule. Using fully insured crane-lift vehicles, Pritchards Metal Recycling moves engines, industrial boilers, steel beams and factory machinery directly from your premises, with no risky manual lifting required. Based in Newcastle upon Tyne, we cover industrial sites, construction areas, demolition projects and commercial clearances throughout the North East, including North Shields and South Shields. From booking to collection, our trained team ensures a tidy, stress-free experience.


When to choose a HIAB collection

Trained operators can reach awkward spots, lift sizeable loads with ease and prioritise the safety of your team. Collections are fully insured and conducted according to current regulations. We specialise in clearing industrial scrap from places where safety, speed and access matter most, making even large quantities or tricky locations straightforward.
