Abstract: Device for scrapping cars (26), in which the car is guided along some stations by a conveyor trolley (25) provided with pivotably mounted supporting members (30). One of the stations comprises a turning device for rotating the car around its longitudinal axis, whereby the bottom side of the car is accessible from above. The turning device comprises a pair of clamping bars (18) that can be pushed towards and away from each other by pivotable legs (17) supported by a bridge (13) being pivotably supported by a framework (2), in such a way that the bridge is rotatable around its longitudinal axis and adjustable in height. At the end of the transport track (31) there is a press for crushing the body of the scrapped car, substantially consisting of metal.

Abstract: Method for dismantling automobiles, in which a car (3) to be dismantled is placed on transporting members (5) which are movable over rails (4, 19) to guide the car past successive stations for performing certain activities at each station. A rotating device (20) is employed to bring the car up over a certain distance and for rotating it about one of its shafts, whereby the bottom side of the car is accessible from above. After bringing up the car (3), but before rotating it, one or more receptacles (49) are brought underneath the car for receiving liquid flowing from the car. Working platforms (45) are present at least at the rotating device (20), so that the bottom side of the car is well accessible.
