The "Big MAC" Flattener
"Big" Reliability

Widely recognized as the industry standard, “Big MAC” flatteners combine high performance and low maintenance characteristics in a mobile auto crusher. The result is an unparalleled record for equipment performance: more than 99% of all “Big MAC” flatteners ever made are still at work today.

Wide Lift

Featuring high-quality, precision cylinders that can be quickly and easily raised for operation or lowered for travel, the "Big MAC" flattener meets the needs of today's mobile scrap processor. Offering a wide, 90-inch lift for easier loading and larger capacities, the "Big MAC" is built to perform. Four automobiles can be easily compacted into dense bundles, reducing both onsite storage demands and transportation costs. A redesigned hydraulic landing gear also speeds setup, while a range of available 165 hp diesel engines — including John Deere and Cummins — affords an unparalleled degree of choice and versatility.

Remote Operation

Remote operational capability, a standard feature, lowers operational costs by allowing one person to load and operate the crusher. In addition, removing workers from the immediate processing area improves onsite safety.

The Big MAC QS Flattener
Quick setups. Quick teardowns. Quickly gain a competitive edge.

It stands to reason that the only auto crusher that could take the place of the Big MAC Flattener would be another Big MAC. Introducing the Big MAC QS from MAC/Granutech-Saturn Systems, a flattener with one of the quickest and easiest setups in the industry. A fully-automated hydraulic system raises the cylinder to its upright working position, then also locks the trunnion in place, making the QS operational. For teardown, the fully-automated process is reversed, lowering to a legal travel height. The entire setup or tear down process can be done by one person in less than a minute. But we didn’t stop there. A combination of our own design reviews and input from our extensive list of Big MAC owners led to the enhancements spotlighted.

In making these changes, we also kept in mind what’s important to you. As a result, we still maintain both our 90-inch opening and our legal weight. Let the Big MAC QS get you up and running faster than ever before.

The Stationary MAC Flattener
Power in Place

Offering many of the same performance-based features as its mobile “Big MAC” counterpart, the stationary MAC flattener provides powerful, fast crushing of autos, household appliances and other loose bulky scrap. With a crushing force of 306,000 lbs., four complete automobiles can be tightly compressed. Bulky household appliances, loose automotive scrap and other miscellaneous scrap materials can also be quickly and efficiently crushed. And, of course, flatter scrap means lower transportation costs.

Improved Potential

Designed for economical operation, the stationary MAC flattener can positively impact even smaller scrap processing facilities. Higher income potential can be realized by flattening at ideal times, stacking crushed autos to better utilize available yard space, expanding buying potential, taking aditional time for engine and parts recovery, and selling at times of higher prices.

Available in both diesel and electric motor configurations, the stationary MAC flattener is ideal for scrap recycling operations in which mobility is not an issue but performance definitely is.
