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, the waste can be collected by a registered waste carrier. 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?
- Tight Spaces: If your workplace is restricted on space, vertical balers have a smaller footprint than horizontal machines so they don't monopolise valuable floor space.
- Low-Moderate Waste Compaction: Because vertical balers are manually loaded by an operative, they're best suited to businesses producing less than 5 bales a day.
- Business Capital Conservation: They have a smaller price tag than a horizontal baler.
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: Budgeting for regular servicing undertaken by a competent professional is essential for operational efficiency and safety.
- Operator Training: Full training is required before operating a machine. Training should be documented and repeated on a regular basis to avoid workplace accidents and the risk of fines.
- Budget: Whether you choose to buy new, buy used or hire - each option will tie up different amounts of your capital.
- Research Suppliers: Sourcing a machine from a reputable supplier with 5* customer reviews and good aftersales support can save money in the long run because unplanned downtime can severely impact productivity.
