NTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a Manual Trash Compactor (MTC) made
by Vestil Manufacturing Corporation (“Vestil”). Our compactors are
rigorously engineered to produce durable, high-quality products.
Despite the compactor’s relatively simple mechanisms, all personnel
must familiarize themselves with the safe operation instructions
provided in this manual.
To provide strength to compact a multiplicity of waste materials, each MTC is constructed
from steel components. A powder coat finish supplies protection from the elements. The
manually-operated jack produces 7,000 pounds of compacting force, which allows the operator
to reduce the size of waste material and thereby optimize space usage in waste storage
drums. Additionally, all 3 designs integrate wheels on one side of the base plate to allow an
operator to easily reposition the unit. Each compactor has a handle storage pin to prevent the
handle from pivoting downwards and potentially inflicting injuries while the compactor is in
storage.
The tabulated data below summarizes standard and optional features:
