  • Well the cylinder has a stroke length of ~8 inches (it’s a little less) it is 17 inches from the pivot point, the other arm is 6 inches from the pivot.

    When the cylinder is fully extended, the crushing plate will move down about 3 inches which is greater than the width of most cans. (At least greater than all of the cans I have.)

    It flattened cans sideways because I wanted to be able to put them through a shredder. It was very close to accomplishing that, if the base plate didn’t bend to shit, I’m sure it would have worked.

    Yes! But the crushinator is a big girl, mine couldn’t hold a candle to that, so she squishes instead of crushes!
