Asset Recovery & Disposition
Onsite Global Logistics (OGL) coordinates the strategic recovery, relocation, and responsible disposition of idle industrial equipment and project assets. By coordinating the logistics steps for surplus materials, we support customer-defined recovery, relocation, refurbishment, resale, or disposition objectives.
Whether you are decommissioning a facility, returning leased equipment, or routing assets for refurbishment and resale, our team works through qualified providers to coordinate the agreed recovery plan. We understand that asset recovery requires precise coordination, from initial site assessment to final destination routing. By integrating our recovery solutions with our broader project logistics capabilities, we provide a cohesive approach to managing your industrial assets, using asset registers and handling instructions supplied by the customer.
Industrial operations frequently experience shifts in equipment needs due to project completions, facility upgrades, or changes in production focus. During these transitions, idle assets can become a logistical burden. OGL steps in to plan the movement of these assets, coordinating the necessary transportation and support services to clear your sites and route equipment to its next designated location.
Comprehensive Asset Recovery Coordination
Effective asset recovery is about more than just moving equipment; it requires a documented plan for how each asset should be handled, whether it is destined for relocation, resale, or customer-directed disposition. OGL plans and coordinates the necessary transportation and support services to manage your assets efficiently, working closely with your team to understand the specific requirements of each project.
Our coordination efforts encompass a wide range of activities designed to streamline the recovery process. From organizing the initial transport to managing the logistics of complex, multi-site decommissioning projects, we provide the logistical framework needed to support your asset recovery goals.
Relocation and Return
When industrial equipment needs to be moved to a new facility or returned at the end of a lease, we coordinate the specialized transport required. Our team plans the logistics for heavy and oversized items, with routing and handling planned around the asset information and receiving requirements provided. We work through qualified providers to manage the physical loading, securing, and transportation of your valuable equipment.
Refurbishment Routing
Assets that require maintenance, calibration, or upgrades before redeployment are routed to appropriate facilities. We manage the transportation logistics, coordinating with your chosen refurbishment centers around receiving windows and readiness requirements for the next phase of the asset lifecycle. By planning these movements carefully, we help minimize downtime and support the continuous utility of your industrial assets.
Resale and Disposition
For surplus or idle equipment, we support your resale or disposition strategies by coordinating the logistics of moving assets to buyers, auction houses, or recycling centers. We work through qualified providers to coordinate physical movement to customer-selected buyers, facilities, or properly authorized disposition providers. OGL does not select or certify recycling or disposal facilities on the customer’s behalf.
Integrating Procurement and Global Shipping
Asset recovery often intersects with other critical supply chain functions. By leveraging our expertise in procurement support and global shipping, OGL provides a comprehensive approach to managing your industrial equipment across its entire lifecycle.
When recovered assets need to be transported internationally—whether for overseas resale, international redeployment, or specialized refurbishment—we coordinate the complex logistics of cross-border movement. Navigating international trade regulations requires careful planning and the right partnerships. Please note that OGL is not a customs broker; customs brokerage is coordinated through appropriately licensed alliance providers to support the compliant international transit of your assets.
