Services
Compactors
Our industrial compactors reduce waste volume through hydraulic compression systems. Designed for commercial and municipal applications, these machines handle both dry recyclables and wet waste materials. Available in self-contained, stationary, and pre-crusher configurations, our compactors improve waste management efficiency while minimizing environmental impact through reduced transportation requirements.
Balers
Vertical and horizontal balers compress recyclable materials into dense, transportable bundles. Our VB Series vertical balers feature patented safety mechanisms while HE Series horizontal balers offer high-volume processing capabilities. These machines accommodate paper, plastic, metal, and textile recycling operations with customizable chamber sizes and automated tying systems.
Pre-Crusher Compactors
Pre-crusher compactors combine material destruction with waste volume reduction. These specialized units process bulky items through integrated crushing mechanisms before compaction. Ideal for waste-to-energy facilities and secure document destruction applications, our systems ensure complete material breakdown while maintaining operational safety standards.
Drum Crushers
Drum crushing equipment compresses 55-gallon drums and similar containers to 10% of their original volume. Designed for industrial waste management, these systems reduce storage requirements and transportation costs while meeting EPA emission standards. Available with manual or automated operation modes for hazardous and non-hazardous material handling.
Custom Solutions
Custom-engineered waste management systems address unique operational requirements. Our engineering team modifies standard equipment or designs purpose-built solutions incorporating specialized materials, automation features, and integration with existing infrastructure. These tailored systems maintain our quality standards while optimizing performance for specific waste streams and facility layouts.
Questions
What makes Cram-A-Lot equipment different from competitors?
Our equipment features patented safety mechanisms, USA-made components, and modular designs allowing easy customization. We maintain tighter quality control through in-house manufacturing of critical hydraulic and electrical systems.
How do I determine the right compactor size for my business?
Contact our sales team for a free consultation. We'll analyze your waste volume, material types, and collection frequency to recommend optimal compactor capacity and configuration.
Are parts readily available for Cram-A-Lot equipment?
Yes, we maintain a comprehensive inventory of replacement parts with same-day shipping available for most components. Our online parts store provides 24/7 access to electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical components.
Do you offer equipment financing options?
We partner with major equipment financing companies to provide leasing and purchase plans. Contact our sales department to discuss available financing programs for qualified buyers.
What safety features are included in your balers?
Our VB Series balers include dual-hand control systems, light curtains, and emergency stop mechanisms. All models meet or exceed OSHA safety standards with additional proprietary features preventing accidental operation during maintenance.
Can your equipment handle mixed waste materials?
While we recommend separating recyclables, our industrial compactors are designed to process mixed waste streams. For specialized applications, we offer sorting system integrations and material-specific compaction chambers.
