Road Warriors

Secure destruction professionals have a variety of mobile shredding trucks to choose from.

Companies that offer secure destruction services must consider whether to operate mobile shredding trucks or to construct a central shredding facility where documents can be taken for destruction. For some, offering both approaches makes the most sense.

Those companies that choose to employ the mobile approach don’t have to be concerned about abandoning processing capability in favor of security, as many mobile shredding trucks can comfortably process 3,000 pounds per hour on average, with some trucks capable of handling upwards of 6,000 pounds per hour.

The variety of features available in mobile shredding trucks—from automatic cart tippers to live floors to push-out dump walls—assures that secure destruction professionals can offer quick and efficient service. Many manufacturers also design trucks that do not require operators who hold a commercial driver’s license, enabling a variety of the firm’s employees to operate the vehicle.

In addition to providing customers with on-site verification of destruction, some mobile shredding trucks are equipped with shredders that are capable of offering cross-shred cutting for added security.

These are only a few of the features that are available on today’s mobile shredding trucks. On the following pages, we’ve assembled some of the vehicles that are currently available to the secure destruction industry.
