Compactor Collections...

Our range of electrically powered, portable or static compactors are often the most economical option for customers generating substantial volumes of low density dry wastes. The advantages include economy, cleanliness and improved security.

Wherever possible we will do our best to provide either static or portable compaction equipment for use on your own site. This will enable the final volumes of waste you generate to be significantly reduced. It will also keep vehicle movements and the disruption they create to an absolute minimum.

All of the compactors we provide are efficiently and quickly installed and maintained by our own service engineers. They are easy to use and come in a range of container sizes.

Containers are collected by specialised handling vehicles either according to an agreed schedule or on demand.

Our portable compactors compress waste hydraulically - incorporating power packs which require only single-phase mains supply. An added option is a hydraulic bin lift which raises and empties the Waste Wheeler contents into the compactor. Portable compactors and containers require only a single car-parking space.

Static compactors can be provided for "off dock loading" either by hand or mechanically.

compactor imageDedicated mechanised interlocking conveying systems can be designed and installed to deliver waste direct to the compactor. If you need further advice, our Technical Sales Department will also carry out a free site survey and suggest the most suitable and cost effective solutions for your needs.

All our compactors and containers are available in your choice of colour or branded with your logo.
