Destroy and Recycle-Summer Camp

This video is another mix of everyday things in the yard-Scraplife as it’s known on Instagram. We start with a long sequence shearing a load of constructional steel, girders etc, it’s the Copex being fed by me with the Sennebogen 835E, the 825E and magnet gets involved clearing up.
Then we have a clip at sunrise, 5.30am as I unlock, the first bulk tipper is parked in the road already, waiting to load at 7.00am, he’s a regular and always here very early.
Next up is the Sennebogen 825 loading some small OA onto a DAF XF for Liverpool. Then something a bit different, two clips of me running up the heavy cast iron pile as fast as I can, I do it most years on my birthday, it started as a bit of ...

Destroy and Recycle….it’s been a while

Просмотров 6 тыс.3 месяца назад

A long time since my last post, I’ve had some time out from all social media, absolutely appalling weather doesn’t make it easy to shoot video, and when we have the occasional nice day there are lots of other things to do. These clips are spread over a long period of time, there’s a lot of the Copex folding and shearing large tank sections from three separate dismantling jobs, two local, one we...

Plenty of Copex shearing and baling action, we had some heavily enamelled feed hoppers from a farm demolition, they were in fairly big pieces and I wasn’t sure the shear could fold them small enough, fortunately, it did, the dust is the enamel shattering and popping off the steel, even after it was sheared. There’s more heavy shearing, the final clip was much longer but I felt that too much wou...

A lot of stuff from my position in my Sennebogen 835. I destroyed some large saws with the big ball, general duties around the yard, loading wagons and bins, I also bomb some four tonne steel fan units to reduce then to shearing size. Obviously there’s some action from the Copex S-Wing 1000 tonne shear as usual. Someone observed that the videos would be better filmed from outside of the cab, av...

The view from that Case 521 and the Sennebogen 835 as I’m driving them. In the forst clip with the Case I'm testing the built in weigher by filling the bucket with tarmac road planings and raising the bucket, the beeping noise is the weigher confirming that it has successfuly weighed, it's very accurate. There’s the Copex shearing, loading wagons for delivery to the docks at Liverpool. The old ...

Well, I’ve bought a clamp that lets me film from my driving position in one of the Sennebogens or the Case loading shovel so some of these clips are a bit experimental. You’ll see me doing a tour of the yard in the Case, early morning and, needless to say, in the rain, then something similar in the Sennebogen 835. I then set it up to film me balding a load in the Copex with our John operating t...

Another week another video. I was shearing constructional steel, girders, a few times, then we had another load of the Kirklees Council bins, despite being £40m short on their budget, all blue steel bins are being replaced with plastic bins. There are a few short clips of our wagons tipping, I also strip a couple of machine tools with the Sennebogen grab, using the four tonne ball to knock stee...

This is a long one for the lovers not the haters 😂 A week of crushing, drop balling and shearing with the Copex. I haven’t shortened the seperate clips as much as usual, hence the length, there’s a 44 tonner tipping a load of machines, the tipper almost at the top with 24 tonnes jammed before it comes crashing out, my own wagons tipping, more shearing aluminium, crushing and shearing hookloader...

This is a collection of videos, made for Instagram really, from just before Christmas. The weather as been appalling for over six months and I’m not inclined to stand about making videos, I have a job to do, I start work at 5.30am six days a week and trying to keep reasonably warm and dry is a priority as the days are long when you’re cold and wet. There’s a couple of safe destruction clips, wa...

My first upload here for three months, this has been on my phone since December. I have dozens of clips to sort through although I haven’t really filmed much as it’s just rained and blown a gale for most of the autumn and winter, it hasn’t been fit to be stood out or setting a camera up to film, the job comes first. I’ve bought a second new Sennebogen and a new Case 521G loading shovel arrived ...

A glimpse at what we do, and it’s what we’ve been doing for over a hundred years. There’s the the old Foden that’s been around for 56 years, contrast that with a brand new Sennebogen 835E, 45 tonne materials handler, a 1000 tonne Copex shear that’s almost new. We had snow a couple of times while I was making this video, you see what I see when I arrive at 5.30am, I have to get the snowplough on...

A long video for those of you who like to see the daily routine in the yard. A bit of everything here from last week. I destroy four forktrucks with the four tonne ball in eight minutes. There’s the usual shearing, tipping, stacking wagons and Sennebogens. Feel free to ask (sensible 😂) questions and comment.

Scrapyard action at JB Schofield’s

A mixed bag here, spot my new 45 tonne Sennebogen 835E, my new company car….seeing as I don’t have a company car 😂 after the really long lead times for new machines things have changed and this deal was only done a few weeks ago. My low hour 830E is heading for the US. I’m struggling to have time and the weather for making videos, the weather has been absolutely appalling up on our hillside, ga...

Copex shear action and other stuff

Просмотров 5 тыс.Год назад

It’s been a while since my last upload for all sorts of reasons, the weather doesn’t make it easy to film the action when I’m also operating the shear and feeding it. Also, when material arrives I need it through the shear and out of way quickly which leaves no time for filming. Anyway, this is a real mix of things from the last few weeks, a bit lacking in continuity but I guess that some of yo...

Our Copex shear baling, shearing heavy steel and aluminium. The Sennebogens working, an 825E with electro magnet and the 830E with a five time grab - my mobile office. Hauliers tipping, others loading for Liverpool, a bit of everything really. Unfortunately, if I have material in to process then making videos isn’t my top priority so it’s taken a while to compile this one.
