    my mate is a binman and he reckons the crusher will crush anything/ i have my doubts surely they not that powerful/ therefore i asked if they would crush stereo, laptop, tv, settee and bed he said yes to all the aforementioned. I reckon he is talking bollox anyone out there a binman or had any of these said items crushed? I don't waste my afternoons having pointless conversations.

    I don't think it would crush a tank.

    Could be wrong.

    But I don't think so.

    As for the list mentioned... Yeah it could crush them.

    Yeah wooden and aluminium framed beds, no problem. The only thing would be if it spilled out. If you pushed it back in it would crush away.

    They are hydraulic & use about 200 bar of pressure which is about 3500 lb's psi.

    They would crush most things but not a battle tank as Disco quite rightly says.

    You would just need to make the crusher from green Kryptonite and Superman would be seagull food. <ok>
