Gradeall has built, delivered and installed 8 G120 static waste compactors for Newtonabbey borough council at their O’Neill road recycling centre in Glengormley.
The Gradeall G120 turns waste piles from a liability into an asset. As a powerful, intelligent waste compactor, the G120 leverages cutting-edge hydraulic compression technology to reduce waste volume by up to 80%, with extra-dense compaction of over 1100 kg/m3.
The compactor’s sturdy metallic body encloses the internal ram system safely while providing the highest compaction force in its class at over 138 tons. An automated central hydraulic system powers the electric motor for smooth, jam-free operations.
In an era of climate crisis and resource scarcity, efficient waste management has become imperative for environmental protection and sustainable development. Gradeall G120 static waste compactors have emerged as an innovative solution to tackle the ever-growing challenge of waste minimisation and smart disposal.
This was a new site being built on what was previously a landfill, now thanks to a £750 million grant from the Department of the Environment it will bring a much-needed facility to the region, in order to provide sustainable waste management and improve recycling of waste.
With rapid urbanisation and economic growth, municipal solid waste generation has increased exponentially globally. Landfills are overflowing while unsafe dumping threatens environmental health. Simultaneously, valuable resources buried in waste streams fail to be recovered. This glaring waste crisis demands advanced waste handling systems for volume and cost optimisation.

Supercharging Waste Operations: Real-World Impact
Globally, forward-thinking municipalities and smart waste managers are deploying G120 compactors to transform operations.
Some stellar examples include:
To match specific waste profiles and goals, Gradeall offers customisable G120 models.
Key variables to consider include:
Gradeall’s waste experts can recommend the ideal model based on in-depth operational analysis.
With unmatched compaction capabilities, intelligent features, and reliability, Gradeall’s G120 range provides a cutting-edge, sustainable waste management solution. Their track record of supercharged results makes them an indispensable investment for future-focused operations.
Global municipal solid waste generation has skyrocketed from 2.01 billion tonnes in 2016 to a projected 2.59 billion tonnes in 2030, representing a 29% increase in just over a decade, according to a World Bank report. Rapid population growth, urbanisation and economic development are accelerating waste streams while landfills across the UK, Europe and worldwide edge towards full capacity. Over 90% of waste in low-income countries is openly dumped, contributing to street and marine pollution according to the UN.
Unlike traditional compactors, Gradeall’s G120 models utilise patented Finite Element Analysis technology to apply over 5,000 precision calculations per second, optimising hydraulic pressure for denser, uniform compaction exceeding 1,100 kg/m3. The system’s pressure sensors and load cell constantly provides feedback to maximise compaction within the limits of the extruded aluminum container walls.
Gradeall has also obtained patents for the G120’s unique horizontal ejection system which uses a hydraulic pusher plate to cleanly eject compacted material without needing a tipping trailer. This enables efficient material transfers and closer vehicle access.
By reducing waste volume by up to 80%, G120 compactors can reduce associated collection truck trips by 60-75%, resulting in 35-45% lower transportation costs, according to waste audits conducted by the National Compactor Management Group. With vivo Energy’s 14 compactors spread across 9 distribution centers, the company achieved a 58% increase in effective container capacity and a transportation cost saving of USD 145,000 annually.
