Dahle shredders offers a host of new features, built upon the same commercial business quality you've come to expect from the brand name - Dahle!


Solid Shredder Construction and Engineering

The Dahle Shredders are built with longevity in mind.

Unlike other shredders on the market, the internal drive components are made from metal. The motor on each model drives the cutting mechanism with full power - eliminating overload and jams with large batches. Most other brands on the market use a plastic gear system only which can easily break down, requiring ongoing service and support.


Durable Design and Construction

The waste cabinets are manufactured from solid wood with a durable laminated finish. This ensures your equipment looks newer - longer!

Most other brands on the market use waste cabinets made from thin plastics, which can easily break when moving the shredder.

Plastic also doesn't deteriorate in land fills, so Dahle is better for the environment over-all. Most likely, given the design and construction of Dahle, you'll never need to replace your shredder anyways.

Long lasting - Solingen Steel Cutting Cylinders

LIFETIME WARRANTY - Strip Cut and Cross Cut shredding cylinders

Dahle shredding cylinders are manufactured using a single block of German Solingen Steel. This hardened steel is well known in the print and processing industry because of its durability and its quality for a long cutting life (remains sharper longer).

The other benefit is - low maintenance. Other brands of shredders on the market use a "blade system" on a cylindrical drive shaft, which can break down easier. Essentially single thin blades are stacked side by side on a cutting shaft with spacers in between each blade.

The blades on this type of equipment are thinner and prone to wear quicker. They become loose over time with use, and if a single blade breaks - it can affect the whole cutting system in seconds. To replace a blade assembly system on these types of models can be quite costly.

Not the case with most Dahle Shredders - cutting cylinders are COVERED UNDER A LIFETIME WARRANTY!!! With the exception of the high security line of shredders, all models come with the solid cutting cylinder system which extends the life of your shredding equipment, and reduces over-all costs over the long term.

Durable Cabinet door hinges - made from metal and can easily be adjusted when needed.

The cabinet door even has a handy oil bottle holder for smaller hand held shredding oil bottles.
