Self-Contained

The floor assembly of our Self Contained compactors provides the foundation to a durable and long lasting machine. A single sheet of 3/16” steel plate is used for the entire length of the floor on all models up to 34 yard capacity. This massive floor sheet is strengthened by the use of 3” structural steel channel on 18” centers, and 6” x 2” rails that span the entire length of the machine. 8” x 6” heavy duty ground rollers are designed to support the weight of a fully loaded machine.

Floor Construction

The compactor dump door is an often overlooked element of self-contained compactor design. The dump door must withstand over 50,000 lbs of compaction force without flexing, which would compromise sealing capability and cause an unwanted leak. Our door is framed with 4” x 6” x 1/4” structural tubing and fitted with a 3/16” plate that spans 80” x 85”. This steel plate is concaved to roll the refuse up and over inside the container which improves compaction ratios and increases total payload.

Door Construction

The container body must also be constructed to prevent leaks and stand up to the various types of material that may be thrown in. It’s not uncommon for racks, shelving, or other fixtures to find their way into a self-contained compactor. When that happens, the container needs to be able to withstand a possible puncture, not to mention the normal forces that are encountered when hauling 10+ tons of refuse.

• 7 gauge sides - single sheet, no vertical weld seams

• Tip Top Roof design - sheds water to prevent rust.

Container Body Construction

The compactor assembly is where all the action takes place. This is where the trash goes in, and is packed into the container area. Available in 1, 2, and 2.5 yard capacities, we have the correct size to tackle any type of refuse.

We offer both single cylinder and twin cylinder models, both types utilize soft shift, internal bypass cylinders for long life. A 3/8” hardened AR plate floor can withstand the abuse of the toughest application, and provides the durability and long life you expect from a Cram-A-Lot.

A full width breaker bar constructed of a single piece of 6” x 6” x 3/4” angle iron will stand up to any trash you can throw at it.

Compactor Construction

Three stout door hinges and a heavy duty latching system ensure years of reliable service and a liquid tight seal.

A unique door protector prevents leaks by keeping the hoist cable from contacting the lower door frame tube and damaging the door.

22 feet of solid, 3/16” seamless steel!

This is the foundation of every Cram-A-Lot self contained compactor. Using a single sheet of steel for the floor costs more to produce, but the result is added longevity and a leak-free machine.

Reliability. It’s a concept that seems to have been forgotten in an era of cheap, imported product offerings, but reliability is at the center of our machine design. By integrating simplicity and quality into our machines, we ensure the reliability that you expect and deserve. We know that every time the keyswitch is turned, you need your compactor to start and run trouble free.

Self-Contained

The most important performance criteria for a self-contained compactor is its ability to hold liquid without leaks or spills. Our engineers have designed our machine to minimize the opportunity for leaks throughout the compactor structure. Each weld seam can become a potential leak point over time, so fewer weld seams equate to fewer leaks over the life of the compactor.

Liquid Tight Design

The best door seal in the industry provides years of trouble free service. The “bulb” on our door seal is almost twice as large as the next largest seal on the market. A larger seal results in more overall sealing area and better compliance against the sealing surface.

• Seam Minimization - The number of seams below water level are minimized through design by utilizing a single floor sheet with no seam welds and a single side sheet with no vertical weld seams. Not to mention that this approach also makes for one nice looking compactor!

• Fully Welded Seams - All seams below water level are fully welded inside and out.

• Rear sump keeps liquid towards the center of the compactor and away from the door seal.

• 100% Water Tested - Every machine is tested for leaks before leaving our factory.

Typical Seal Cram-A-Lot Seal

The hydraulic power unit is the heart of any compactor. While other manufacturers may source their power units right out of a parts house catalog, we have always designed and built our hydraulic power units in house, specifically for our products. The hydraulic power unit is just too important to outsource! Designing and building our own power unit is the only way we can guarantee the reliability and performance that our customers deserve.

Every compactor we manufacture is mated to its serial matching power unit for a complete rundown test and inspection before it ships to you.

Power Unit Design & Construction

A compactor’s hydraulic cylinders represent the single most expensive purchased component on the machine. Not only are the cylinders themselves expensive, but hours of labor is required to remove and replace them if they fail. Given these facts, it would seem that all manufacturers would source a high quality cylinder to use in their compactors, but unfortunately they don’t. Because they’re the highest cost component, this is one of the first areas considered when product managers and engineers are challenged by upper management to “cut costs”. Some decide to change their specifications to a lighter duty design, others start importing lower cost cylinders from China.

At Cram-A-Lot, we have sourced our cylinders from the same supplier for over 20 years. Our cylinders are Made in the USA and our specification has remained the same. We design our cylinders to last. Cylinder design is not a good place to cut corners! Cost savings may be achieved, but only at the expense of reliability. Our customers deserve better! Just say “NO!” to cheap Chinese cylinders!

Carts and tippers are becoming increasingly important as businesses understand the ergonomic hazards and safety risks associated with lifting heavy loads.

We offer machine mounted solutions and free standing solutions that will fit and lift 90 gallon curbside carts, 1 yard tilt carts, 2 or 3 yard front load carts, and everything in between.

Your tipper can be controlled automatically with the machine, or hold-to-run controls can be provided for manual operation.

Cart Tippers Building low profile compactors is almost a daily occurrence at Cram-A-Lot. Low profile, or “cut down” machines are often required when problems with overhead clearance are encountered on site.

We can “cut down” your new compactor to your specific requirements based on the overhead clearance available at your location. We can also “cut narrow” your compactor if there are space constraints for overall width. Whether your challenge is length, width, or height we can probably develop a solution for your toughest space challenge.
