Frequently Asked Questions
1. What types of commercial waste can be compacted in a vertical baler?
Vertical compactors are used by businesses to bale cardboard, plastics and textiles as a sustainable alternative to bins or skips. Once baled, this material can be uplifted for recycling. You can use the same baler to compact different types of waste but be careful not to mix different materials within the same bale to avoid contamination.
2. What is the price of a vertical baler?
Hire prices start from only £16.00 + VAT per week for a small vertical baler capable of compacting cardboard and/or soft plastics.
3. Do you sell used vertical balers?
Yes, we refurbish used vertical balers and sell them with a 6 month warranty including parts, call-outs and labour. Our stock of used waste balers includes pneumatic and hydraulic machines of all sizes. All refurbished vertical baling machines have been fully certified and tested by our SafeContractor™ endorsed engineers.
4. When do vertical balers make sense?
- Limited Space: They have a small footprint making them ideal when workspace is limited
- Low to Medium Waste Volume: Because they are manually loaded, they're best suited to businesses producing less than 5 bales a day
- Limited Budget: They have a smaller price tag than a horizontal equivalent
- To Lower Waste Costs: They convert loose waste into high-density bales for more cost-effective waste management.
5. What are the key factors to consider when choosing a vertical baler?
- Bale Weight: Bales produced can range from 40kg-550kg so it's important to select a machine suited to your waste volume.
- Material Type: Whilst most machines are suitable for compacting cardboard and plastic, if you wish to compact cans or carpet you'll need a specialist machine.
- Maintenance & Aftercare Costs: For safety and efficiency it's recommended that all baling equipment is serviced regularly by an expert.
- Operator Training: Full training is required before operating a machine. Training should be documented and repeated on a regular basis.
- Budget: Balance the intial cost of the machine with the long-term benefits because investing in a machine sourced from a reputable supplier can save money in the long run.
- Research Suppliers: Source from a reputable supplier with 5* customer reviews and good aftersales support
