Static Compactors
Static compactors from MHM UK LTD deliver powerful waste compaction in a fixed installation, ideal for heavy-duty industrial use. Our range spans from the MHM 1500 to the MHM 4000, handling everything from moderate waste volumes to the most demanding industrial applications.
Static compactors are permanently installed and typically feed compacted waste into an attached skip or container. They are the go-to choice for factories, distribution centres, and waste transfer stations that produce consistent, high volumes of general or industrial waste.
Built with powerful hydraulic systems and heavy-duty construction, MHM static compactors are engineered for reliable, long-term operation in the toughest environments.
For sites needing mobility, our portable compactors offer flexible, leak-proof waste compaction.

Static Compactors FAQs
A static compactor is a permanently installed waste compaction machine that compresses waste into an attached container or skip. Unlike portable compactors, they remain in a fixed position and are ideal for sites with consistent, high-volume waste production.
The right size depends on your waste volume, type, and available space. Our range goes from the MHM 1500 for moderate volumes to the MHM 4000 for the heaviest duty applications. Contact us for a tailored recommendation based on your requirements.
Yes, static compactors typically feed compacted waste into an attached roll-on roll-off skip or container. When the container is full, it is collected and replaced with an empty one. We can advise on compatible containers.
Static compactor prices in the UK typically range from £12,000 to £35,000 depending on the model (MHM 1500 to MHM 4000), compaction force, and throughput capacity. Hire options are also available. The ROI is typically achieved within 12-18 months through reduced collection frequency, lower transport costs, and reduced landfill fees. Contact us for a tailored quote based on your waste volume.
Static compactors are ideal for dry, bulky waste including cardboard, general waste, packaging, timber, plastics, and mixed commercial waste. They are not suitable for wet or liquid waste — for those applications, a leak-proof portable compactor is recommended. The high compaction force (up to 40 tonnes depending on model) reduces waste volume by up to 5:1, significantly cutting transport and disposal costs.
A static compactor is permanently bolted to the ground and feeds waste into a separate detachable skip, making it more cost-effective for very high-volume dry waste. A portable compactor is a self-contained unit where the machine and container are integrated, making it better for wet waste and sites needing flexibility. Static compactors are typically cheaper to hire but require a separate skip exchange service.
