Forestry machine dismantling Where our used parts come from
Our dismantling is the source of one of the world's largest stocks of used forestry machine parts.
Used spare parts have been a cornerstone of our business since the 1970s. It has let us build up a stock of parts from a wide variety of brands, models and years, at good prices.
What can you find among our used parts?
The short answer is: most parts. The used inventory includes everything from larger components like bogie boxes and diesel engines to small parts like valves and electronic components, as well as accessories like tracks and chains. Most of what you can find on a forestry machine, you'll find among our used parts.
Today we dismantle around 100 forestry machines per year. We are actively working on streamlining the disassembly process from machine to spare part, with the goal of increasing the annual number of machines that can be dismantled.
In our future plans, we include a focus on dismantling more machines, but also on being able to repair a greater number of the parts extracted from the machines. By incorporating renovation and reparation into the disassembly process, it provides us with the opportunity to salvage more parts and also offer a greater number of parts of higher quality.
We dismantle a wide range of forestry machines
When deciding to dismantle a forestry machine, the reasons can vary from the overall condition of the machine and the costs associated with refurbishing it to operational condition, to accidents that may have occurred. Demand for specific parts can also be a factor leading to the decision to dismantle a machine instead of selling it in its current state. This means that machines often come directly from production, are dismantled, and can contribute parts in good condition that can be reused, thereby extending the lifespan of other machines.
This means both older and newer machines end up in our dismantling workshop, contributing to a range that suits the needs of various customers – from larger machine entrepreneurs operating new machines to smaller operators managing their own forestry maintenance with a reliable workhorse from the '80s.
Reuse is an important part of our business
Our goal is to get the most out of every machine part. Our dismantling workshop exists to keep the machines and parts already in circulation working for as long as they can, and when we buy and dismantle your forestry machine, several people gain from it.

Frequently asked questions
Questions we are often asked about dismantling and used parts. Can't find your answer? Contact us.
We often dismantle fully functional (or repairable) machines, both old and new, simply because a working machine generates more functional spare parts. A dismantled machine can then keep several other machines running, thanks to the parts it provides.
Yes, that's fine. Whether your machine is sellable or not doesn't matter to us.
The short answer is that we buy any forestry machine. The slightly longer answer is that we buy any forestry machine at the right price. This means that there are sometimes factors that simply make it not cost-effective for either you or us to purchase your machine. Of course, you can always contact us with your inquiries so that we can engage in a dialogue!

There is a high probability that we have used spare parts for newer forestry machines. We dismantle a wide range of machines, considering brand, model, and year of manufacture. Therefore, feel free to ask us about used parts before spending your money on a new one.
There's always a possibility that we have parts for your old machine, sometimes both used and new. We've been building our spare parts inventory since the '70s, and we continue to purchase older machines for dismantling as long as there is demand for parts. Additionally, our inventory includes a diverse range of unused parts for machines that have gone out of production. Therefore, never hesitate to ask us about the part you're looking for!
No, we dismantle machines of all possible model years.
No, we don't dismantle a machine solely because it is old; each machine is assessed individually, regardless of its age. The decision to dismantle a machine is based on the demand for its parts and the demand for the machine itself. Therefore, we see no reason to dismantle a machine in good condition if there is no demand for its spare parts.
