G.A. RITTENHOUSE
Dry dock plant, cranes, fabrication, marine engines.
The plant decommissioning and asset recovery division of G.A. Rittenhouse’s furnace operations. Equipment we recover that cannot be re-sold is melted into new metal — which is why we can price work other contractors walk away from.
Yards carry an unusual mix: very heavy fixed plant, a fabrication shop full of resaleable machine tools, and more bronze and copper than most people expect. Our first liquidation was a marine diesel operation, so this is familiar ground.
Caissons, pumps, dock gates and shore services.
Gantry, jib and mobile cranes, hoists and transporters.
Plate rolls, presses, shears, burning tables, welding plant and machine tools — the strongest resale category in a yard.
Propulsion and auxiliary engines, gearboxes, shafting and propellers. Propellers in particular are high-value non-ferrous.
Bronze, brass and copper off fittings, bearings, valves and props. Melted in-house.
Barge and heavy haul where road access will not carry the load.
Equipment with a working second life is worth more running than poured, and we will tell you which is which rather than quietly melting the difference. Why that gap is so wide.
We own the furnaces, so recovered metal has a floor price we can quote on the day instead of after finding a buyer. How the melt side works.
Rigging, hauling and permits are ours. On remote or constrained sites this decides more of the economics than the equipment does.
Most closures cut across more than one of these. All industries we serve.
The fabrication shop and the non-ferrous usually carry the value. Send us an equipment list.
