Vertical Balers
The standard downstroke baler for retail, grocery, and warehouse back rooms.
The vertical downstroke baler is the most common recycling machine in America for a reason: it fits through a standard doorway footprint, runs on modest power, and turns a mountain of loose cardboard into dense, stackable, sellable bales with one operator and a few minutes a day.
We sell and service the full range (from 42-inch balers for small retail up to wide-body 72-inch machines producing mill-size bales) and we stock the wire, do the operator training, and answer the service calls afterward. New machines are ordered to your spec, and we keep reconditioned units moving through the shop. If a back room in the Mid-South has a baler in it, odds are decent we have had a hand on it.

What you get with Norton.

42″, 60″, and 72″ chambers; standard and high-density models. Mill-size bales (roughly 750-1,100 lbs on a 72″ HD) command the best recycler prices.
Simple, safe operation
Modern interlocked doors, keyed controls, and UL-listed panels. We train your crew at install and re-train new hires on request.
Low cost to run
Single-phase power options, minimal maintenance, and wire as the only consumable. Most stores recover the cost in reduced hauling within 12-24 months.
Parts & service network
We stock common cylinders, valves, switches, and platens, and our shop handles doors, chambers, and structural repairs in-house.
