PRICING
What Affects the Price of Electric Motors Scrap?
We do not publish fixed prices because metal prices change with global markets. These are the factors that move your quote. See also our scrap metal prices guide.
Motor size and type
Larger motors with more copper winding return more per unit. Heavy cast-iron casings add weight but less value than the windings.
Casing material
Aluminium-cased motors are lighter and graded differently to cast-iron or steel-cased units.
Condition
Complete motors are easier to grade. Motors cut apart or full of oil are graded on what is recoverable.
GET IT READY
How to Prepare Your Electric Motors for Pickup
A little sorting makes pickup faster and can improve what you are paid. Our guide on what to leave on and strip from scrap electric motors explains how to sort them.
- Drain oil from compressors and pumps where relevant
- Keep motors dry and off the ground
- Group motors by size: small, medium and large
- Leave motors whole unless you are sure what you are removing
- Send a photo and a count of motors when you call
Before we buy: photo ID and a record of purchase are required. Payment is by bank transfer (EFT). Ferrous scrap (iron and steel) is only considered in bulk loads of 50 tonnes or more per load.
