Some of the machines they use at wrecking yards and scrap yards around the world are insanely powerful so that they can tear up anything that comes in for recycling, but what you may not realize is your everyday trash truck may be just as much of a bad ass. Sure they are usually just smashing up TV dinner boxes, paper plates, paper towels and diapers, but apparently there is a lot of other stuff in our trash that requires some real strength to crush. Hence the insane power of the New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck compactor. In this video you will see a Pontiac Grand Am get chewed up by this truck. It’s just sitting in the back minding it’s own business and all of a sudden the chomping begins.
If this car was something even remotely more desirable, this would be disturbing.
Seems like no one in the crowd actually expected to see that much destruction, they seemed to be kinda shocked.
As a summer job I worked garbage trucks on the Jersey shore. We packed an Austin America in the back of our truck. The greatest part was the reaction of the dozer operator when we crapped it out at the dump.
Any time we put so much as a small piece of steel in our dumpster, the garbage man rips our butts for tearin up his truck.
My brother was a mechanic on garbage trucks in the early 70’s. He said they did that to a Falcon. He was also welding on one when its load caught fire. Had to dump it in the shop driveway.
As the shop asshole in the back is thinking damn I drive a car just like that…
I would have rather seen it eat a foreign car. Otherwise pretty awesome.
I wonder if the motor was in it. If so, pretty awesome.
I really love the “do not enter” sticker, daaauhhhhhh
Yep, there are garbage truck salesmen out there showing what the new models can do.
