The Vestil FWBC uses a forklift and the unit's own dead weight to drive down bin contents — forcing waste into a smaller and smaller area so you reclaim wasted space, fit more per bin, and cut how often you haul. Two built-in sets of fork pockets make it easy to move between work areas and to lower the compactor into the bin. Heavy-duty steel, rectangular 42\" × 42\" design, with incremental height adjustment and an included safety chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy It's Different:\u003c\/strong\u003e No power, no hydraulics — gravity and mass do the compacting, so there's almost nothing to maintain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChoose Your Configuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight Class — 2,000 lb:\u003c\/strong\u003e lighter-duty compaction for everyday waste streams\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight Class — 4,000 lb:\u003c\/strong\u003e maximum compaction force for dense or high-volume waste\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFill Type — Empty:\u003c\/strong\u003e ships light;
