Compaction Equipment

Self-Contained Compactor

A self-contained compactor is a sealed unit ideal for wet or liquid-heavy waste like food, organics, and general trash. It prevents leaks, contains odors, and helps reduce hauling frequency.

Best For:

Grocery stores, restaurants, hospitals, hotels
Locations handling wet, messy, or high-volume waste

Length: 16–25 ft | Width: ~7.5 ft | Height: 6–8 ft
Compaction Force: ~30,000–40,000 lbs
Loading: Rear, side, dock, or ground-fed

Pre-Crusher Compactor

A pre-crusher compactor is designed to crush large, bulky materials before compaction—reducing volume and maximizing payload. It’s ideal for operations generating heavy or dense waste that would otherwise create voids in standard compactors.

Best For:

Pallets, crates, and large packaging materials
Furniture, appliances, and industrial scrap
Manufacturing and distribution facilities

Key Benefits:

Ram Force: ~60,000–100,000 lbs (varies by model)
Loading: Ground or dock-fed
Cycle: Pre-crush phase followed by standard compaction

Vertical Compactor

A vertical compactor is a space-saving waste solution designed for businesses with limited room but steady trash volume. It uses downward pressure to compact waste into a front-load container, making it ideal for tight spaces and frequent service schedules.

Best For:

Restaurants, retail stores, and small businesses
Buildings with limited enclosure or dock space
Businesses needing secure, enclosed waste containment

Key Benefits:

Compact footprint fits in alleys, garages, or small waste enclosures
Reduces collection frequency and overflow issues
Front-load container is easily serviced

Loading: Manual or chute-fed

Stationary Compactor

A stationary compactor is ideal for managing large volumes of dry waste like cardboard, packaging, and general trash. The compactor remains fixed in place while waste is compressed into a removable receiver box that’s hauled away when full.

Best For:

Warehouses, manufacturing plants, and distribution centers
Retail stores and commercial properties generating high volumes of dry waste
Facilities with consistent, heavy waste output

Key Benefits:

Efficient compaction of bulky, dry waste
Reduces hauling frequency and disposal costs
