Solar-powered compactors, suited to temporary events and high-volume waste collection. Compatible with the 2AS system and traditional collection vehicles.
Solar-powered compactors: maximum efficiency where it matter
Ideal for urban areas and as industrial compactors
ESA, a specialist in waste collection and logistics technologies, manufactures the innovative solar-powered single-arm hook-lift compactors. Designed to meet the temporary needs of communities and urban centres, they adapt effectively to industrial contexts, providing a valid support to the needs of private individuals and businesses that need to manage high volumes of waste and reduce energy costs.

Solar-powered compactors: the sustainable choice
Integrated solar-panels make the ESAcompactor energy-independent: it stores energy during the day and uses it to power compaction cycles, even in the absence of a power grid. High-performance batteries further support its energy autonomy. The result: no fuel consumption and reduced gaseous emissions. This results in lower operating costs and enablesinstallationin isolated or temporary areas, without the need for infrastructure works.
Low maintenance costs
No overhaul required every 250 operating hours, unlike current Euro 0 diesel models
Immediately operational
No warm-up required at start-up
Energy independent
No dependence on fossil fuels thanks to electric-solar hybrid technology
Quiet operation
Without a diesel engine, K-Solar compactors are the quietest on the market.
Waste compactors for events, markets or tourist areas
The benefit of a hook-lift compactor
ESA solar-poweredcompactors are the ideal solution to meet the needs of waste disposal in temporary or mobile settings, such as markets, fairs and special events. The key advantage of the hook-lift version is the maximum operational flexibility: the compactor can be easily transported, positioned and removed using standard vehicles, without the need for fixed installations. This enables rapid adaptation to changes in location, reduces the set-up times and optimises the logistical management of events, ensuring an efficient and continuous service.
Wireless solar-powered compactor
The ESA solar-powered compactor is equipped with wireless technology for real-time transmission of operational parameters and access identification.
Controlled disposal
The system enables the service manager to monitor waste disposal activities and encourage more responsible behaviour by citizens, through detailed recording of user data. Access is simple and immediate via smartphone or dedicated card, ensuring secure and traceable service management.
Remote monitoring
“Easy web service” enables remote monitoring and management of the compactor: it verifies correct operation and through sensors monitors the fill-level in real time, notifying the service manager when emptying is required.
Industrial compactor: CMK model
For industrial applications, ESA has developed the single arm hook-lift compactor, ideal for transferring waste from satellite vehicles and/or compacting extremely bulky materials. It helps businesses reduce energy costs, retaining the operational efficiency.
Remote monitoring and access
Elevated compaction
Geolocation
Proactive security systems
6 x 280 W photovoltaic panels
All you need to know about ESA solar-powered compactors
Can the disposal openings easily accommodate bulky materials?
The disposal openings of ESA compactors are large in size, with capacities ranging from 1.55 to 6.5 m³
What is the compaction force?
The compaction force is equivalent to that of traditional compactors
Can they be used as satellite vehicles?
The K-SOLAR models are extremely versatile and can be used as independent disposal points or for waste transfer using satellite collection vehicles.
Are solar-powered compactors noisy?
Without a diesel engine, the ESA compactors operate with exceptionally low noise levels and comply with applicable regulations on machinery noise emissions.
Are there any specific maintenance costs?
The solar-powered compactors do not require overhauls every 250 operating hours, unlike diesel compactors. The costs are significantly reduced, also thanks to remote assistance, which can identify and resolve any anomalies in real time.
Why choose a solar-powered compactor?
Thanks to their hybrid solar-electric power system, ESA solar-powered compactors operate without fossil fuels and can complete compaction cycles with full autonomy. This makes them more reliable than traditional diesel-powered compactors, especially if used during the colder hours of the day. Their ease of use simplifies operators’ work and enhances safety, while ensuring full compliance with UNI EN 16486:2020.
