PTR Compactor Cylinders & Ram Replacements
Replacement hydraulic cylinders for PTR trash compactors — vertical, stationary, and self-contained applications. OEM-equivalent specs matched to original PTR cylinders. Drop-in for the full PTR product line.
What this page covers
PTR (Plastic Recovery Technologies' historical sister brand reference) manufactures industrial compactors used across retail, hospitality, and light industrial waste service. PTR compactor cylinders are matched to specific PTR models — bore, rod, stroke, and mounting differ between vertical, stationary, and self-contained applications.
PRT stocks OEM-equivalent PTR replacement cylinders, with rebuild kits available for operators who prefer to rebuild in place.
How to choose
Identify by PTR model, the compactor application (vertical, stationary, self-contained), and the cylinder's OEM part number. PRT customer service can confirm equivalents from the model alone.
For older PTR compactors with discontinued OEM cylinders, PRT can recommend current-production equivalents that drop into the existing mount.

- PTR stationary compactor cylindersRam cylinders for full-size PTR stationary compactors.
- PTR self-contained cylindersHeavier-duty cylinders for PTR self-contained units.
- PTR cylinder rebuild kitsSeal kits for in-place rebuild.
- Custom PTR-equivalent cylindersFor legacy or non-current PTR models.
Frequently asked questions
Are PRT cylinders compatible with all PTR compactor models?
Yes. PRT supplies replacement cylinders for the full PTR lineup — vertical, stationary, and self-contained applications. Provide the PTR model number for confirmation.
How long do PTR compactor cylinders typically last?
Similar to other industrial brands — 50,000-75,000 cycles in standard commercial service. Cleanliness of the hydraulic oil is the biggest factor in cylinder life.
Do PTR vertical compactor cylinders differ from stationary?
Yes. Vertical compactor cylinders are typically smaller bore and shorter stroke. Stationary compactor cylinders are larger and rated for higher cycle pressure.
Can I rebuild a PTR cylinder with PRT seal kits?
Yes. Rebuild kits include all the seal components needed. Verify the cylinder rod and bore are in good condition before rebuilding — re-using worn surfaces fails fast.
