Hope you all enjoy this as much as I did! This is a powerful self contained compactor, almost reminds me of many asl bodies...I've known about this for the past month, but finally found a full hopper this weekend. Usually people pack after each small load and doesn't leave any good shots.

  • It's a 34yrd selfcontained compactor

  • Plus, it's not a "2-stage blade". It's 1 blade, but due to manufacturing space constraints, they put basically a steel plate above it to cover the ram and keep stuff from falling behind the blade when it's extended. It just slides along on top of the blade as a cover.

  • It's actually not that powerful, as compactors go, in terms of fully packing/loading a box. These self contained units don't do as well as they could. Notice the blade has little to no intrusion into the box itself? If it had even a few inches of intrusion, it would pack more.

  • I like these self-contained compactors, never see them in action though as they are always kept in loading docks or enclosed with chutes. Neat how electricity runs the blade, but you can hear the power in that whine as the blade cycles. I'd like to get some shots of one at the local mall - they load 660L bins on the lifter and there is an actual viewing area of the packer. Just love watching the blades at the transfer station, they are beastly! Nice footage.

  • Very cool compactor. Would love to see it again soon.

  • @KFCOrBust

    The trash compactor where I work is the same 2 blade setup.

  • That's so weird how it's a 2 stage blade and how it retracts...Never seen a compactor like that.

  • That is very cool! Great to see from you again!

  • Nice my apt complex has one like this!!! but you load it form the front. i have 2 videos of it!!!

  • Dang, if I knew of an open access compactor like this Id love to go throw trash in it just to see it packed. Every self contained unit here is either locked or only accessable from a chute that is from inside of a building near by that dumps into a closed side packer. Thats pretty neat that this (apartment complex I assume?) has an open compactor though. great video!
