Marathon RJ-550 Stationary Compactors


The Marathon® RJ-550 stationary compactors are designed to handle heavy-duty waste streams and are ideal for small transfer stations or municipal drop-off centers. Its heavy-duty design and high-compaction force yield excellent volume reduction with MSW and light C&D waste streams.

The Marathon Ramjet® RJ-550 compactor is a real workhorse. Its proven capability assures top performance in heavy commercial and industrial applications. The RJ-550 is unique to other compactors in its class, offering a large 60″ (1524 mm) wide by 97″ (2464 mm) long clear-top opening and a 39″ (991 mm) deep charge box – handy features during peak loading times or when compacting bulky items.


The RJ-550 is a high-capacity, heavy-duty compactor ideal for industrial and commercial applications where large volumes of solid waste are generated. Its rugged construction and large hydraulic power unit allow maximum compaction performance. The RJ-550’s large clear-top opening can accommodate oversized crates and cartons.

The RJ-550 is solidly reinforced with 4″ I-beams throughout. The sturdy ram has a 1/2″ (12.7 mm) faceplate. The sides are constructed of 1/4″ (6.35 mm) thick steel supported by 14 vertical angles with 1″ (25.4 mm) by 4″ (101.6 mm) bar running horizontally on each side of the charge box area for increased rigidity and strength. The tough 1″ (25.4 mm) by 8″ (203.2 mm) by 6″ ( 152.4 mm) angle breaker bar easily handles the challenges of daily industrial trash.
