COMPACTOR

Laneway Compactor no mural

Overview

Compact Power for Tight Spaces

The Mini Compactor, sometimes referred to as the Laneway, is a high-efficiency waste disposal unit made especially for constrained spaces. Ideal for urban areas, apartment buildings, laneways, and tight-loading docks, this compact unit provides strong waste compaction without sacrificing reliability or performance.

Purpose-built to occupy the same footprint as two 1100L wheelie bins, this compact unit delivers an impressive compaction ratio capable of holding the equivalent of nine 1100L bins. Ideal for high-density urban environments or restricted access areas, it maximises waste storage without increasing spatial requirements.

Equipped with a weighing and ID system that is NMI Trade Certified, it enables accurate invoicing by weight, providing reliable data for waste management billing and reporting.

Engineered for flexibility and manoeuvrability, the unit is fitted with heavy-duty rear rollers and a front lifting frame compatible with Sitecraft tugs. This design allows the compactor to be easily relocated or retrieved from locations inaccessible to conventional hooklift trucks. The Tray and Tug system facilitates seamless collection and emptying from laneways and tight public sites, making it an ideal solution for waste management in space-constrained urban settings.

Whether you’re managing waste in confined service areas or urban infrastructure, the Mini Compactor ensures clean, efficient operations with minimal footprint.

Key Features

Equipped with a Smart Weigh system that allows the operator to swiftly release the hand door and access thevmachine using a unique swipe card.

Features a storage chamber that can hold 3m3 of compacted waste and is easily transported by collection vehicles.

Reduces the number of unsightly bins in busy inner-city precincts and laneways.

Suitable for Plastic, Organic Waste, Paper, Cardboard, General Waste, Plastic Containers.
