How do compactors get emptied?

Sep 15, 2025

Compactors are typically emptied through a process involving specialized vehicles and equipment, depending on the type of compactor (e.g., mobile, stationary, or split-type). Here's a general overview based on common methods:

Mobile Compactor Emptying‌:
When the compactor's bin is full, a ‌hook-lift truck‌ or ‌roll-off truck‌ is used to transport the entire container to a disposal facility.
The compactor's control panel displays the bin's capacity percentage and system pressure, indicating when it is ready for emptying.

Split-Type Compactor Emptying‌:
After compression, a ‌hook-arm truck‌ (or similar vehicle) lifts and transports the filled container to a processing site.
An empty container is then swapped in using a ‌transfer platform‌ to resume operations.
