ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for crushing scrap metal, especially for flattening car body shells, has a jaw mechanism (11) which includes a lower jaw member (30) and an upper jaw member (50). The lower jaw carries a platform (31) for the object to be crushed and the upper jaw carries a flat press plate (55). The two jaw members are hinged together behind both the platform and the press plate, and above both the platform and the press plate when the jaws are closed to a position in which the press plate is parallel to, yet spaced from, the platform. Side plates (32) and a rear gate (80) may be provided to contain light scrap in the jaws. The jaws may be tiltable and/or vehicle mounted, and may be provided with front fork tines (71) to act as an entry ramp and for manipulating the scrap.
