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We do not publish fixed prices because metal prices change with global markets.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.
