Here’s a series of photos showing how a car ends its life at Combellack Vehicle Recyclers.
This is our crushing yard, and our grabber
Our crushing yard and grabber
A car, in this case, a 206 is selected by Scott, our grabber operator, who picks the vehicle off the pile.
A Peugeot 206 is picked up by the grabber
If not already removed for sale, the engine is picked out by the grabber.. these come out by brute force which is the quickest way to remove one. This motor will never find its way into another car!
The engine is literally shaken out of the car
- The engine falls out of the bay in the claw of the grabber
The engine and the car are 2 separate items now!
The engine alongside the 206
With the engine out, Scott turns his attention to other items which require removal before we can crush the shell. Next off is the exhaust
The poor Peugeot turned over to have its belly tickled!
And next, the main dash wiring loom is extracted from the shell
The loom is pulled from the shell
By now the poor Peugeot looks rather sorry for itself!
Looking slightly beaten..
The 206 is lifted up once again
And deposited into our ‘bailer’
The last time this Peugeot will look like a 206
Here’s the resulting mess that Scott is left to clean up.. get sweeping!
Someone better get the brush out!
The bailer is activated, and after a few minutes opens up to reveal the 206′s new form, a ‘bail’ which is now ready to leave our site and be recycled.
How our 206 has ended its life.
