Portable Compactors
Portable compactors from MHM UK LTD offer the flexibility of a self-contained, mobile waste compaction unit that can be lifted onto a roll-on roll-off vehicle for transport. Fully leak-proof and highly effective, they are ideal for managing small to large volumes of waste where mobility matters.
Unlike static compactors, portable compactors are self-contained—the compaction chamber and waste container are a single unit. This makes them perfect for sites where waste needs to be transported, where space is at a premium, or where leak-proof operation is essential for environmental compliance.
Available in 14 cubic yard and 32 cubic yard capacities, our portable compactors are engineered for maximum space efficiency and built to withstand the rigours of daily industrial use.
For permanent high-volume installations, our static compactors deliver powerful fixed-site compaction.
