Scrap Motors, Radiators and AC Units in Sydney
Motors, radiators and air conditioners are bought for the metal inside them: the copper windings in a motor, the copper, brass or aluminium in a radiator, and the copper coil in an air conditioner. None of them needs taking apart. We buy them whole, each in its own grade.
What they do need is the right preparation: oil and coolant drained, refrigerant recovered by a licensed technician, and heavy steel brackets and mounts taken off.
Find your grade
Pump, fan, tool and appliance motors
Whole, with attached pumps and gearboxes off if they come off easily.
Big industrial motors and generators
Anything too heavy to lift by hand. Talk to us about a pickup.
Fridge and AC compressors
Degassed and drained of oil.
Starter motors and alternators
Whole, with the steel mounting brackets off.
Copper core with brass tanks
Older car, truck, plant and generator radiators.
Copper tube through aluminium fins
AC coils and condensers.
All-aluminium car radiators
Modern radiators, with the plastic end tanks off.
Air conditioners
Window, split and ducted units, degassed only.
Gas, oil and coolant come out first
Anything that held refrigerant, such as air conditioners and fridge or AC compressors, must be degassed by a licensed technician before it reaches the yard. We cannot accept units still holding gas, and we cannot degas them for you.
Drain oil-filled motors and compressors, and drain the coolant from radiators. A wet load is a spill on the road and on the yard floor.
Steel that unbolts should come off: pump heads and gearboxes from motors, mounting brackets from alternators, steel side frames from radiators.
Common questions
- How much do you pay for scrap motors and radiators?
- Each is its own grade, priced on the metal inside it. Copper-brass radiators grade highest of the radiators, and a motor with big windings is worth more per kilo than a small one. Call or WhatsApp for today’s rate.
- Which kind of radiator do I have?
- Look at the core and the tanks. A copper core with brass tanks is copper-brass. Copper tubes through aluminium fins is AL/CU. An all-aluminium core, usually with plastic tanks, is an aluminium radiator.
- Do you take whole air conditioners?
- Yes, once degassed: window, split and ducted units. Bring the degassing certificate if you have one.
- Can you collect a heavy motor?
- Usually, yes. Call before you try to move a large industrial motor, as a pickup with the right equipment is often easier.
