Features N/A Marathon's patented CYCON Life-Xtender - Cyclic Control System is standard on all TRASH COMMANDER Compactors. CYCON features:
  • Automatic "Container Full Assurance System" - the ram dwells against the load at full pressure resulting in superior compaction.
  • Reliable, solid state circuitry eliminates all pressure and limit switches for ram cycle control.
  • Extends wear life of cylinder and hoses - guaranteed by CYCON’s no-shock cycle control.
  • Advanced hydraulic design allows the system to operate at minimum pressure levels except when actually packing solid waste or recyclable materials.
  • Dramatically improved cold weather performance.
  • UL and CSA Listed.
Signature Series Warranty N/A 3 Year Warranty on Structure, 2 Year Warranty on Components, and 6 Month Warranty on Labor
Heavy-Duty Construction N/A
  • Breaker Bar made of 1” thick structural angle 6” x 8”
  • Crushing Ram constructed of 1/2” Face Plate, 3/8” Ram Top reinforced with numerous structural channels, bars and angles.
  • Rugged Frame features 1/2” Floor Plate supported by four to six 4” structural channels (depending on the model), 1/4” Charge Box Sides strengthened by supporting channels and press-formed integral corrugation.
Mobile Power Module N/A
  • The mobile power module is securely concealed and can easily be relocated to either side of the compactor or converted to a remote power unit.
  • The ram-guide system features graphite impregnated cast iron runners riding on replaceable wear strips. Less friction produces more efficient compaction and less floor wear.
Compact Size - Full Size Power! N/A The compact size of the Trash Commander makes it ideal for dock applications. They take as much as 15% less space than other compactors of similar capacity. And the two cross-cylinders produce powerful compaction equal to larger body compactors.
