Industrial Compactor Parts

Replacement parts for industrial trash compactors — ram cylinders, power units, control panels, electrical components, and steel structural parts for Marathon, PTR, Wastequip, JV Cram-a-lot, and more..

What this page covers

PRT stocks replacement parts for industrial trash compactors — stationary, self-contained, and dual function units installed at commercial sites, hospitals, retail centers, and waste-transfer stations. This is not a page for household kitchen compactor parts; if you arrived here looking for Whirlpool, KitchenAid, or similar consumer-appliance parts, those are sold through appliance parts retailers.

For industrial compactors, the wear points fall into three categories: hydraulic system (ram cylinders, pumps, and directional valves), electrical system (control panels, contactors, overload relays, fuses, PLCs), and structural (ram guide shoes, door seals, latches, and hinges).

How to identify the part you need

Industrial compactors are typically identified by manufacturer (Marathon, PTR, Wastequip, JV Cram-a-lot, and more..) and a model or serial plate on the compactor. With that information, PRT can identify the right replacement part, if the original part number is missing or unreadable, a photo of the part and its mounting location is usually enough to start.
