A
car crusher is an industrial device used to reduce the dimensions of
derelict (depreciated) cars
prior to transport for recycling.
Car
crushers are compactors and can be of two types: "pancake", where a scrap
automobile is flattened by a huge descending hydraulically powered plate, or
the baling press type, with which the automobile is compressed from several
directions until it resembles a large cube.
Car
crushers can be stationary or mobile.
Car
crushers in popular culture
Car crushers have been popular in
films as devices of murder or humour. They have appeared in such well known
films as Goldfinger, Cleopatra Jones, National Lampoon's Vacation,
I'll Never Forget What's'isname, Kick-Ass,
Superman III, Gone in 60 Seconds
and Pulp Fiction and many others.
They have also appeared in several
television shows including Mathnet's "The Case of the Great Car Robbery". Joe Howard's character, George Frankly hid in a
to-be-stolen car and the other characters thought he was still in the car after
it was flattened by the crusher.
A car crusher was used to dispose of
a Walt and Jesse's RV containing a mobile meth lab in season 3 of Breaking Bad.
A car crusher appeared in the
junkyard scene of the Kushner-Locke/Disney movie The
Brave Little Toaster.
A car crusher also appears in the
video games Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Mafia II where the player can make money from stealing cars and take
them to the crusher.
A car crusher also featured in Need
for Speed: The Run, Jack is
seen tied to the steering wheel of his red Porsche Carrera 911, on a crusher in a junkyard, before Janella Salvador/Habib Diator's death. On the ground, Marcus Blackwell and a
mobster are watching. He is about to be crushed to death, but he wakes up and
manages to untie himself and escape the crusher in the last second. He sneaks
out and steals an NFS Edition Audi RS4,
barely escaping the junkyard alive. Soon, he is chased by multiple Porsche Cayennes, but Jack escapes.
