International Dynetics Slugger Drum Crusher | 55-Gal | Heavy-Duty | S/N HSCDEE-10156

International Dynetics "Slugger" 55-Gallon Drum Crusher | 2001 | Heavy-Duty

The International Dynetics Slugger (S/N HSCDEE-10156) is a high-force industrial compactor designed for the volume reduction of 55-gallon steel and plastic drums. This heavy-duty model is engineered to "pancake" empty drums down to just 3–4 inches in height or to compact waste directly into the drum to maximize disposal efficiency. With its reinforced steel safety enclosure and powerful hydraulic ram, it is a "plug-and-play" solution for reducing waste hauling costs and reclaiming valuable floor space.

Manufactured in 2001, this unit features a robust, simplified hydraulic design that is famous for its longevity in punishing environments. The fully enclosed chamber provides 100% operator protection, with a safety interlock system that prevents operation unless the door is securely latched.
