Our Strengths

What Makes Us Truly Special

We know we're not necessarily unique when it comes to large capacity, multiple types of equipment, or focus on safety. Here's what we believe really sets us apart.

Our Torch Cutters

Years of operation have allowed us to train the best and most professional torch cutting team in the region. We commit over 2 acres of our yard as cutting pads to handle thicker and larger industrial scrap.

Our Transportation Fleet

We heavily invest in our transportation fleet to control all of our trucking needs in-house — super-Bs with boxes, flat-decks with bunks, step-decks, end-dumps, and our own container chassis.

Longer Hours, Shorter Waits

Time is money. Whether opening late so it's easier for you to schedule, or ensuring quick unloading so you're not sitting around waiting, we shape our entire operations to better serve you.
