car crusher
Junkyard metal press
A car crusher is a machine that compresses vehicles into compact blocks of scrap metal for recycling.
Junkyards and salvage operations use car crushers to process end-of-life vehicles after usable parts have been removed: They watched the old sedan get flattened in the car crusher.
The term occasionally appears figuratively for anything that destroys with overwhelming force.
