These compactors give a simple, non-powered way to compact waste inside 30- or 55-gallon drums, suited to warehouses, maintenance areas, production floors, recycling zones, and general facility waste handling. A ratcheting jack system delivers up to 7,000 lbs of compacting force, with direction-selection levers controlling platen movement so the operator can compact material and raise the plate once the desired compression is reached.

Steel construction with a blue powder-coated finish is sized specifically for 30- or 55-gallon drums with matched compactor head diameters, covering a service range of 1-1/4" to 35-3/4". A portable frame rolls on two rubber wheels for tilt-and-roll movement, with a locking pin to secure the ratchet lever when not in use, and an optional 800 lb. roll-out base for easier drum positioning.
