Cram-A-Lot Sales & Service
The regional powerhouse. 70+ compactor and 30+ baler models built in Arkansas.
Cram-A-Lot, built by J.V. Manufacturing in Springdale, Arkansas, is the Mid-South’s hometown heavyweight. The catalog is enormous (more than seventy compactor models and thirty-plus balers) covering stationary, self-contained, and vertical compactors, pre-crushers, augers, and a full baler line from back-room verticals to automatic horizontals. For customers who like their equipment built regionally, with factory support a state away rather than a continent, Cram-A-Lot is the natural first look.
Norton Equipment sells, installs, services, repairs, and supplies parts for Cram-A-Lot machines across our territory. The proximity matters in practice: parts and factory answers move fast, and the machines are engineered by people who understand Mid-South operations. Our techs know the line inside and out, and because we are independent, we will put a Cram-A-Lot quote next to a Marathon or PTR quote and let the right machine win.
