Features 

Pneumatic Powered Ram:

 Pneumatic power gives you 

the advantages of long life, low maintenance, and quick 
crushing  action.  Also  no  electrical  connections  are 
required  eliminating  the  electrical  hazard  and  the 
problems of dirty and/or faulty connections. 

Interlocking Door:

    The door interlock restrains the door 

from opening until the ram is fully raised. 

Convenient  Operation

::::  One  hand  is  required  to  close 

the  door  and  latch  it.  After  the  door  is  latched,  the 
crushing  chamber  is  completely  enclosed  to  prevent 
injuries and to prevent oil splatter. 

Versatile  Installation: 

The  stand  is  standard     with  the 

unit, not optional as with many competitors’ equipment. 
When  crushing  oil  filters,  the  catch  basin  can  be 
connected  to  the  bottom  or  either  side  to  a  variety  of 
waste  oil  containers.  The  unit  can  be  placed  over  a 
workbench  by  placing  the  stand  post  behind  the 
workbench. 

Large  Crushing  Chamber:

  Automotive  spin-on  filters 

and  up  to  1-gallon  paint  cans  will  fit  in  the  crushing 
chamber.
