Which type of compactor is designed to work at a fixed location?

The type of compactor designed to work at a fixed location is the stationary compactor. These compactors are typically installed at waste generation sites, such as commercial or industrial facilities, where they can be permanently connected to a waste collection system. Stationary compactors are built to compress waste materials into dense bales or cubes, making it more efficient for transport and disposal. Their fixed design allows for greater durability and continuous operation, as they are not intended to be moved frequently.

In contrast, mobile compactors are designed for transportation to various locations, while portable compactors can be moved to different sites but are not meant for permanent installation. Heavy-duty compactors, on the other hand, are built to handle larger volumes or more substantial materials but do not specifically denote a fixed operational status. Thus, stationary compactors are the correct choice for applications requiring a fixed setup.
