Built for the people who actually run these projects
The right channel for the right asset
Industrial assets often need rigging coordination as much as sales execution. Our recommendations factor both.
Negotiated bulk dispositions
Full press shop or process train sold as a single package.
Direct buyer outreach
Quiet sales to known industrial end-users for sensitive closures.
Online & hybrid auctions
Time-bound public events for broad-spectrum recovery.
Sealed-bid sales
Court- or lender-required formal bid processes with documentation.
Site clean-out & scrap
Coordinated scrap-out for assets with no resale market.
Every kind of wind-down
Industrial site closures
Full vacate of an industrial property, including infrastructure removal.
Plant downsizings
Selling redundant heavy equipment after capacity reductions.
Receiverships & ABCs
Court-supervised disposition of industrial real and personal property.
Insurance salvage
Marketing of fire, flood, or impact-damaged industrial assets.
Real estate redevelopment
Heavy clean-out before industrial buildings are demolished or repurposed.
Industrial removal is a project, not a pickup
Cranes, presses, transformers, and process tanks need engineered rigging plans, road permits, and sometimes wall cuts. We project-manage all of it so the building actually empties.
Engineered lift plans
Stamped lift plans for cranes, presses, and over-dimensional loads.
Permits & road moves
DOT permitting and pilot car coordination for heavy haul.
Building modifications
Roof openings, wall cuts, and door enlargements when machines won't fit out the dock.
Hazardous fluid recovery
Hydraulic oil, coolant, transformer oil, and process chemical disposal.
Power, gas & utility disconnects
Coordinated utility shutoffs and meter pulls.

Why industrial sites bring closures to Stonebridge
We've run heavy industrial dispositions across foundries, fab shops, chemical plants, and packaging facilities — and we know the rigging side as well as the sales side.
Heavy industrial expertise
Project leads who can read a one-line electrical diagram, understand crane runway capacity, and price equipment by tonnage and bed size, not guesswork.
Rigging & heavy haul network
Pre-vetted rigging companies, crane operators, and DOT-permitted carriers across North America.
International industrial buyers
Active demand from buyers in Mexico, Latin America, India, and Asia for heavy presses and process equipment.
A clear, low-friction first conversation
The first call is short and useful — even if you ultimately decide not to move forward. No hard sell, no pressure, no obligation.

Premium brands buyers actively search for
These brands consistently anchor industrial buyer demand.
If your equipment isn't listed, we still move it — these are simply the most-searched industrial brands.
