Using our compactor hire service limits the amount of storage space you need onsite. Able to hold large amounts of waste, a compactor will also reduce the number of trips you need to make back and forth to empty the container, saving time, money and reducing your business’s carbon footprint.
An in-bin compactor has a hydraulic metal ram positioned over a bin, which crushes the waste to reduce its surface area. Once the operator has loaded the bin and secured it, the ram is activated and compacting begins.
Most materials can be compacted, but there are some exceptions. For example, Toxic flammable and explosive materials, batteries and liquids should never enter a compactor, as the pressure applied during the process can result in destruction and injury.
Static compactors are a permanent fixture on your site and are capable of utilising different size containers. The lack of movement of static compactor means it can withstand more pressure translating into higher payloads, and is less likely to be damaged. In contrast, portable compactors have the utility to move around and can visit different sites.
