Compactors can be dangerous if one were to access them while in operation. That’s why they are all designed with a gate that completely closes when the machinery is in use. However, to ensure that the gate remains secure, compactors use latches and locks to prevent anyone from accessing it when needed. It’s a great safety feature that can drastically reduce the chances of someone accidentally getting injured by a compactor. This makes latches and locks a necessary item for any workplace that utilizes compactors. The latches and locks available at Wastebuilt® are created by McNeilus, which is a leading brand in the industry. On top of that, everything is tested and vetted by Wastebuilt®.
