No. 1 heavy melting steel

What counts as No. 1 HMS

Heavy melting steel is thick steel, usually a quarter inch (about 6 mm) or more, in pieces small enough to load into a furnace. Typical pieces are plate, structural beams, heavy pipe, machinery frames and cut-up equipment. Thin steel, sheet and tin are graded as shred instead. We confirm the grade at the scale.

Keep it clean and cut to size

Steel with concrete, wood, rubber or other metals attached is graded lower or set aside. Very long or bulky pieces may need cutting before they can go into a furnace, so tell us about big pieces before you haul them. Never cut tanks, drums or closed vessels yourself.
