Scrap and Auto Recycling Equipment
The production capability of our 580CL car logger/baler exceeds anything else we’ve ever tried. It’s great! If you’re outside Arkansas, you should buy one. I just hope there aren’t many sold near me.
- John Cunningham — Cunningham Metals; Russellville, Arkansas
After seeing others in operation, we think Al-jon makes the best machines on the market. When we moved up to our 580CL, we sold our first machine, an Al-jon 400XL, for almost what we paid for it – after two years of hard use. We’re overjoyed with Al-jon performance.
- Mick Pickett — Pickett Salvage, LLC; Boxholm, Iowa
Why did we buy Al-jon? Because we knew it would hold up. Al-jon makes great equipment!
- Bud West — Bud’s Iron & Metal; Van Buren, Arkansas
We loved our old Al-jon 580CL. But our new one is faster and uses less fuel. Our 580CL is the biggest, toughest machine they could make portable. It’s a wonderful balance between strength and weight savings to stay highway legal.
- Rick Smith — Smitty’s Incorporated; Axtell, Kansas
Thanks to Al-jon efficiency we make a decent living – in spite of low scrap prices. Getting the job done was once 10% machine and 90% operator. But it’s the other way around with Al-jon.

Solid Waste Equipment
The compaction is fantastic. The wheels stay clean no matter what you’re driving through.
- Vern Anderson — Scott Area Landfill in Iowa
Our Al-jon unit will pay for itself in 3 to 5 years – just on saved air space. We’re getting 1,800 to 2,000 pounds of compaction daily, compared to 1,200 to 1,400 pounds with our old yellow machine. Al-jon service is just phenomenal!
- Mike Paral — Kewaunee County Solid Waste; Kewaunee, Wisconson
We expect our air space to last an extra 20 years, thanks to our Al-jon 500. As far as I’m concerned only Al-jon makes a real landfill compactor.
- Mark Kunkel — Plymouth County Solid Waste Agency; LeMars, Iowa
