Steel options are the parts we build around your machine rather than a type of compactor. Walk-on decks, drive-on decks, feed chutes, compactor enclosures, guards, rails, stairs, hoppers, and platforms. Whatever the site needs to make the equipment safe, reachable, and easy to feed.

Every one of these is built custom, per site. We measure your machine, your pad, and your building, then fabricate and install to those numbers. Nothing here comes out of a catalog to be forced into place, and because we service the equipment inside it, the crew building the steel already knows how the machine has to be reached.

That applies whether or not we sold you the compactor. Brand does not matter. If you have a machine that needs a deck, a chute, or guarding around it, we will come measure it.

Why It Works

What you get with Norton.

Walk-on & drive-on decks

Decks built to your grade and your loading height, rated for foot traffic or for driving onto, so material gets to the machine the way your site actually works.

Chutes, hoppers & platforms

Through-wall chutes, dock-height hoppers, cart tippers, stairs, and platforms built to your building rather than to a standard drawing.

Compactor enclosures

Locking gates and screens that end after-hours dumping and scavenging, and keep the waste corner from being the first thing a customer sees.

Guards & safety steel

Access guarding, rails, gates, and interlocked panels that keep hands and forklifts out of the charge chamber, and your safety officer satisfied.

Straight Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What steel options can you build?

Walk-on decks, drive-on decks, chutes, hoppers, enclosures, guards, rails, stairs, and platforms. If it is steel that goes around your equipment, ask. Most of what we build is one-off work for a specific site.

Can you build steel for a machine from another dealer?

Yes. We measure your machine and pad and build to fit: brand does not matter.

Do these require permits?

Depends on the municipality and whether the structure is load-bearing. We have built across three states and will flag anything your jurisdiction requires.

Can you repair damaged decks or guarding?

Yes, we repair or rebuild bent rails, gates, decks, and panels, usually faster and cheaper than replacement.
