Our Compactor Trailer Services
We provide this highly specialised service to specific clients, usually the local authority sector that operates static compactors at their waste transfer stations. They have a capacity of 90 cubic yards and a payload of up to 23 tonnes. All our vehicles and trailers are fitted with weigh loaders to ensure our clients can maximise the loads and reduce the risk of overloading the vehicle. Unlike traditional open-top trailers, compactor trailers are loaded through the rear, making them roofed containers that do not require sheeting. This design makes them ideal for transporting compacted waste efficiently and safely. Contact Shorten Environmental today to see how we can help you!
The Loading Process
1
Arriving
The rear door of the compactor trailer is opened, and the trailer is reversed onto the static compactor ready to be loaded.
2
Loading
The material is then carefully loaded onto a hopper. The material then safely drops into the static compactor ready for compression.
3
Compacting
The material is compacted into the rear of the trailer using a horizontal ram and blade from the static compactor. The motion continues until full.
