Collection & Removal services
Some folding inserting machines, especially the larger ones can weigh over 110kg and can therefore be difficult to move or dispose of if the machine is no longer required. When moving your mailing equipment, it is important to protect the machine’s sensitive folding plates, mechanisms and sensors which could be damaged if moved incorrectly.
For customers in this situation, even if you just require the machine to be moved from one part of your building to another, we provide a professional collection and removal service.
We handle the complete process whether it is moving or collecting and disposing of a folding and inserting machine, including lifting, loading, and transportation.
Our team can arrange collection at a time that minimises disruption to your mailing operations, offering a reliable and hassle-free service to help businesses clear space for new equipment or dispose of redundant machinery responsibly.
Simply provide us with the collection address and details of the machine(s), and we’ll arrange a convenient collection to suit your schedule.
Why does folder inserter removal require specialist handling?
In addition to their weight and size which makes moving them difficult, folder inserters contain precision feeding mechanisms, sensors and folding units that can be damaged if moved incorrectly.
A professional collection service helps avoid:
- Damage to feeding stations and folding mechanisms
- Broken sensors, covers or control panels
- Injury when moving heavy equipment.
Whether your machine is a compact desktop model or a larger production folder inserter, careful handling ensures it arrives safely at its next destination.
Preparing your folder inserter for collection
Before the collection takes place, we recommend completing the following steps:
- Remove all paper and envelopes from feeders
- Empty any output trays including and mail pieces in the transport path
- Remove any inserts or enclosures from the machine
- Power down the equipment correctly
- Disconnect all power and network cables
- Ensure there is clear access to the machine
- Notify us of any stairs, lifts or access restrictions.
If you’re unsure how to prepare your equipment, our team can provide guidance.
The collection process
Before collection, we assess access requirements, take details of the equipment and the size to understand if there are any special handling requirements.
The machine is carefully disconnected, prepared for transport and removed from your premises using appropriate lifting and handling equipment.
Equipment is secured for transit to minimise movement and reduce the risk of damage.
Depending on your requirements, the equipment can be:
- Returned to a leasing company
- Relocated to another site
- Delivered to a new owner
- Sent for refurbishment
- Responsibly recycled and disposed of.
