Waiting patiently for Forklift Friday? Wait no longer. 😂✂️

Today’s contestant…

this Hyster. 👀

It’s done its time shifting loads around and earning its keep.

But Fridays work a little differently around here.

One Hyster.

One Leimbach.

And only one of them is leaving in the same shape it arrived. 😂

Happy Forklift Friday. 🔴🔵

A lorry chassis spends its whole life trying NOT to do this. 😂✂️

It’s designed to stay straight, stay strong and carry tonnes of weight for hundreds of thousands of miles.

Then it reaches the scrapyard…

and suddenly our entire objective is to bend, fold and cut it into pieces.

Funny old life for a bit of steel. 👀🔊

If they wanted waste to track digitally… we certainly gave them plenty today. 😂

First day of Digital Waste Tracking and the yard decided to produce some numbers worth reporting.

Lorry after lorry, plenty of tonnage and scrap coming through the gates from all directions.

Days like this are never taken for granted, and we’re incredibly appreciative of every supplier who keeps the material coming our way.

Not a bad way to start the new system. 👀🔴🔵

Enjoy today’s action.

Stubborn piece of cast iron here that really doesn’t like being told what to do. 😂✂️

But eventually…

it submits like all the others before it.

1,400 tonnes of persuasion usually gets the message across. 👀🔊

1,400 tonnes of force, right up close. 👀✂️

Just a close-up view of the shear head doing exactly what it was built for.

No wide shots. No distractions.

Just prime steel getting cut, folded and overpowered by the Leimbach.

If you like the proper up-close stuff, this one’s for you. 🔊

Scrap metal has got a much deeper history around the Black Country than people probably realise.

This whole area grew up around heavy industry.

Factories everywhere. Foundries. Engineering. Steel being cut, shaped, fabricated and turned into things that went all over the country and beyond.

Naturally, there was always scrap alongside it.

Offcuts, old machinery, worn-out equipment, demolition metal — somebody had to collect it, sort it and find another home for it.

And generations later, here we are doing exactly that.

The equipment might look very different now…

but there’s something pretty special about carrying on an industry that has been part of this area for such a long time.

Black Country born and bred. 🔴🔵

Big tonnage through the gates today. 👀

Always good to see, and something we never take for granted.

We’re genuinely appreciative of every supplier who chooses to bring material into us — whether it’s one load or a hundred.

We’re heading towards the final quarter of the year now, and there’s still plenty we want to get done before 2026 is finished.

Time to see it out with a grind. 💪🔴🔵

THERE’S A MONSTER IN THE SHEAR! 👹

and of all the places to hide… he chose a 1,400-tonne shear 😂

I spotted this face looking back at me from the box and had to laugh.

He might look pretty confident right now…

but I don’t fancy his chances once those rams start moving 👀✂️

There can only be one monster in this box.

Also that evil eye at the end is hilarious 😂 👀

I show you a lot of the good stuff on here… but there’s another side to running a scrapyard.

The lorries. The cranes. Scrap tipping. The shear. Even the odd terrible joke. 😂

That’s the enjoyable bit to film.

What you don’t see is everything going on in your head while all of that is happening.

Customer relationships. Payments coming in. Bills going out. Breakdowns. Buying. Selling. Keeping everyone moving.

And that question that never completely disappears…

“Have we got enough scrap coming in?”

I’m sure plenty of people running businesses on here will understand it.

It can be a bloody hard game sometimes.

You have good days, difficult days and days where ten problems seem to arrive together.

But you keep turning up, keep solving them and keep pushing the business forward.

That’s the side of running a yard that doesn’t always make the videos. 🔴🔵

SOMETIMES YOU DON’T NEED TO KNOW WHAT IT IS 😂

Scrap goes in.

Shear closes.

MUNCH. CRUNCH.

That’ll do me👌✂️

I genuinely couldn’t tell you what this old bit of steel started life as…

but I can tell you it makes some very good noises 🔊👀

Enjoy.
