What does the "90,000 ton" part mean?

I think it has something to do with mass

Can that be possible? Isn't that like the weight of an small cruise ship?

crushing force?

Yeah, I believe it's the maximum amount of force it can exert on whatever it's crushing.
Insane-o-mane.

Or yo momma

Yeah thanks...

Looks like the QE2 weighs about 77,521 tons? (70,327 tonnes)

So this thing can put more crushing weight on a car than placing the QE2 on it? :p

EDIT: oh, and I'm a ship weight noob, I don't know if I should use tonnage or displacement

I'm thinking maybe it's 90,000 pounds, not 90,000 tons?

90k tons sounds about right. You can get a cheap press in your garage for $150 that can put out 12 tons of pressure.

and that's only used for pressing bearings out and such. not crushing cars.

Cool. I'm not big on car crushers but I thought 90,000 tons seemed pretty extreme.

I'm interested now. I've been trying to find specs on another crusher just to get an estimate of this is a good ballpark figure. I didn't find any on ebay that listed a crushing force and haven't turned anything up on google yet.
