When a fulfilment centre closes, downsizes or moves, everything has to go at once, and much of it has resale value. We coordinate the whole decommissioning so you deal with one contractor and one programme.
In short: Fulfilment centre clearance is the removal of racking, pick systems, conveyors, packing stations, stock and equipment from an e-commerce or 3PL fulfilment building.

Decommissioning in phases
We can run down the site in stages, clearing zones as they become empty while your operation winds down or transfers to a new site.
Recover the value first
A single fulfilment centre can hold stock, racking, MHE and automation of significant resale value. We identify and recover it before anything is treated as waste, and show the net position clearly.
Frequently asked questions
Can you clear a site while we are still shipping orders?
+
Yes. We phase the clearance so live areas keep operating until they are no longer needed.
Do you remove conveyors and automation?
+
Yes. Systems are isolated by competent trades, then dismantled and removed or recovered for resale.
Can remaining stock be bought?
+
Often, yes. See Stock Clearance and Sell Warehouse Contents.
Is this the same as your 3PL page?
+
No. This page is the clearance service. Our Logistics & 3PL page explains how we support logistics operators more broadly.
