Motor Types & Value
| Type / Grade | Description | Relative value |
|---|---|---|
| Large industrial motors | High copper winding content relative to housing | Highest |
| Pump / HVAC motors | Good copper content, medium size | High |
| Small / appliance motors | Lower copper ratio, more steel | Medium |
| Sealed / compressor units | Copper windings enclosed in steel | Medium |
| Aluminium-wound motors | Windings are aluminium, not copper | Lower |
Value driver: copper winding content. Big copper-wound motors pay most; small or aluminium-wound motors, with more steel, pay less.
How Electric Motor Scrap Pricing Works
Electric motors are priced on the copper inside their windings compared with the steel housing around them. A large industrial motor has a high copper-to-steel ratio and usually pays the most, while small appliance and power-tool motors contain proportionally more steel and pay less.
Some motors are wound with aluminium rather than copper and are worth less again. Copper prices drive motor values, so rates can move daily.
We weigh and assess motors on collection and quote against current rates. Stripped copper windings can be graded higher than whole motors.
