Compactors are essential machines used to reduce the size of waste material or soil through compaction. They are commonly used in construction, roadwork, and landfill operations to create a solid base or reduce the volume of waste. Compactors come in various types, including plate compactors, road rollers, and landfill compactors, each designed for specific applications.
Look at the machine's age, hours of operation, and overall condition. Inspect for wear and tear, and request maintenance records to ensure it has been properly serviced.
Choose a reputable shipping company experienced in transporting heavy machinery. Secure the compactor properly and consider insurance for added protection during transit.
Regular maintenance includes checking hydraulic fluid levels, inspecting and cleaning filters, and ensuring all moving parts are lubricated. Consult the manufacturer’s manual for specific maintenance intervals.
