IH-R removes old equipment and machinery and cleans out plants, warehouses and commercial buildings across Greater Cincinnati, Dayton and Northern Kentucky. We stage lugger boxes, roll-offs or trailers before the job, haul everything out, and recover the scrap metal. We pay for metal by weight.
Equipment and machinery removal
Presses, CNC machines, conveyors, racking, compressors, tanks, HVAC units and production lines that are out of service. We remove and haul out machinery and equipment, and pay for the metal by weight.
Industrial cleanouts
Plant, warehouse and factory cleanouts before a sale, a lease return, a line change or a move. We set containers where your crew is working, swap them within 24 hours of a call and remove them when the building is clear. Mixed loads are accepted with no sorting penalty, and there is no minimum.
Semi trailer removal
Dry vans, reefers, flatbeds, storage trailers and box trucks are hauled off site and the metal is paid by weight. See semi trailer removal.
Shutdowns and teardowns
Line shutdowns, plant teardowns and demolition scrap: structural steel, No. 1 heavy melting steel (200), rebar, motors, copper cable and stainless. Copper and stainless go in separate containers so they are kept apart from mixed steel.
Fire-damaged buildings
We clear equipment and scrap from fire-damaged commercial buildings.
