Commodity
Industrial scrap
Transformers, alternators, generators and heavy equipment.
Trade overview
Specified for real-world processing
Bergent seeks to source industrial scrap — including transformers, alternators, starters, generators, electrical switchgear, and heavy industrial machinery — from decommissioning projects, industrial clearances, and authorised recycling networks across international markets. Material is supplied to Pakistani processors, smelters, and metal recovery operations throughout the country, with shipments discharging at Karachi KPT or Port Qasim.
- Principal destination
- Pakistan (Karachi KPT / Port Qasim)
- Typical shipment format
- 20 ft / 40 ft container or flat-rack
- Sourcing markets targeted
- Europe, UK, US, Middle East
Material in view
Every equipment lot begins with identification
Transformers, generators, alternators and switchgear carry different recoverable metals and handling constraints. The imagery should make the actual equipment mix unmistakable.
Illustrative yard view
Equipment is recorded unit by unit and as a lot
Wide and close photographs help identify the equipment present, its physical condition and any obvious attachments requiring discussion.
Handling context
Mixed equipment needs a practical movement plan
Dimensions, weight and equipment type determine whether units move in standard containers, open-top equipment or specialised freight.
