Rolling stock and parts of railway tracks, in any state of wear, can be handed over for processing, for further use of the metal. Unlike many other types of steel waste, railway scrap has large dimensions and weight. This affects not only the cost of its acceptance on https://metallolom-moscow.ru/priem-zhd-metallolom , but also on additional factors of responsibility.
What can be scrapped
Despite the variety that can be encountered when seeing metal parts associated with a railroad, it all falls into just three main categories. You need to know them in order to understand what kind of scrap you need to have accompanying documents, and another one can be brought for delivery without additional papers:
1. Fastening material and other metal products (bearings, mechanisms, ropes).
2. Wheelsets, and other steel parts of the rolling stock.
3. Rails in any condition, cut or whole.
Rails are the most expensive and demanded type of scrap, as they have minimal pollution. There are no strict technical requirements for the acceptance of railway metal waste. But, the more massive and purer the parts, the more they are valued in material terms.
Decommissioned wagons
Most of the points for receiving metal for recycling have access railway lines. It is quite possible to drive one or several wagons in any technical condition for decommissioning. But, for the sake of completeness, the rolling stock has three categories of technical condition:
- able to get to the scrap metal reception using a shunting train;
- requires a preliminary examination by a receptionist;
- needs preliminary cutting with gas equipment.
Important: not all scrap metal collection points have the ability to accurately weigh an entire passenger or freight car. In some cases, the inaccuracy of the weighing equipment will reach a ton. But, well-equipped and well-prepared points in Moscow are always interested in the accuracy of the calculation with the owner of unnecessary rolling stock or old railways.
