Small Compactors

The NEW Charger Series Representing the next step in evolution of the Stationary Compactor


Our new CHARGER SERIES stationary compactors were designed for businesses that generate low to moderate volume of waste and recyclables. These models were designed from the ground up to require minimal maintenance and repairs, limiting the disruption of downtime to your business operations.

In designing the CHARGER SERIES our engineers utilized a “balanced design” approach, using computer aided stress analysis in conjunction with real-world destructive testing for design validation. This Cram-A-Lot dedication to robust design ensures that your compactor will be built to last, providing many years of service.

All CHARGER SERIES compactors feature a floor riding ram design, which minimized the maintenance associated with guide shoe adjustment while minimizing material migration behind the ram. The new side-mounted power unit places key electrical and hydraulic components safely outside of the compactor chassis. Our power units are also designed and manufactured “in house” so we can maintain complete quality control from system design through manufacturing completion of these critical systems.
