Marathon RJ-325 and RJ-325HD Stationary Compactors


The Marathon® Ramjet® RJ-325 stationary compactors is a proven workhorse with excellent capability, ensuring top performance in heavy commercial and industrial applications. The RJ-325 is unique to other compactors in its class, providing a large 60″ wide by 67 1/2″ (1715 mm) clear-top opening and a 33″ (838 mm) deep charge box – a key feature for peak loading times or when compacting bulky items.


The RJ-325 is stress engineered for durability. That means the strength is where it belongs – like the 1/2″ (12.7 mm) charge box floor reinforced with seven heavy-duty steel channels, 1/2″ (12.7 mm) steel plate ram face backed with 10″ (254 mm) structural channels, and extra-rugged reinforced sides.

  • Allen-Bradley motor starter
  • Totally enclosed, fan-cooled motor
  • Quick-release motor mount for easy servicing and maintenance
  • TRICON fullness assurance system, a time-shifting device that eliminates all but one limit switch. It also produces better compaction ratios by making the ram remain against the trash, reducing spring back. TRICON offers better cold-weather performance and extends the life of the machine.

RJ-325 HD Features

The large 59 1/2″ (1511 mm) wide by 67 1/2″ (1715 mm) long clear-top opening and superior strength of the RJ-325HD make it just right for large volumes or crates, skids, and other hard-to-compact industrial refuse. Waste is crushed to a fraction of the original bulk.

Marathon’s RJ-325HD is engineered with extra steel to meet the demands of heavy duty industrial use. Cylinder supports, a 1″ (25.4 mm) thick breaker bar, a 3/8″ (9.52 mm) ram top, and extra side supports are added for superior endurance. Also standard on the RJ-325HD are 1/4″ (6.35 mm) thick steel charge box liners and a 1/2″ (12.7 mm) thick abrasion-resistant steel plate on the charge box floor.
