Specifications:
The jack produces 7,000 pounds of compacting force, which allows the operator to reduce the size of waste
material and optimize space in waste storage drums. Both MTC models include wheels on one side of the base plate
to allow an operator to easily reposition the unit. Each compactor has a handle storage pin to secure the handle while
it is not in use. Dimensions and other important specifications appear in the tables below.

Assembly Instructions:
The numbers in parentheses correspond to item numbers in the Parts List table on p. 3.
Step 1: Fasten wheels (2) to their brackets using ¼-20 x 1 ½” bolts (4) and ¼-20 nylock nuts (3). Bolt the vertical
supports (5) onto the base (1) using 7/16-14 x 1 ¼” bolts (14) and 7/16-14 nylock nuts (16). (See Fig. 1
below.)
Step 2: As shown in Fig. 2, fasten the front jack plate (6) onto vertical supports (5) using bolts (14) and nylock
nuts (16). Labels must face outwardly to be visible to users.
Step 3: Lay the partially assembled unit on its side as depicted in Fig. 3, and then insert bolts (15) through the

holes in the jack plate. Slide a short jack spacer (10) over the top bolt. Press the jack center support (9)
into the appropriate slot.
the installed bolts (15) through the corresponding openings in the jack, as shown in Fig. 4; then slide the
remaining spacer (10) onto the top bolt and the long jack spacer (18) onto the other bolt. If correctly
installed, the top bolt will project through the holes in the jack handle as well as the holes in the upper
jack slide as shown in the enlarged view in Fig. 4.

Step 5: Fasten the back jack plate (8) onto the vertical supports (5)
using #14 bolts and 7/16-14 nylock nuts (Fig. 5). Make sure
jack center support (9) aligns with the slot on back jack plate.
Twist nylock nuts (16) onto the ends of the bolts to secure the
jack in place.
Step 6: Connect the compactor plate (13) to the end of the jack with
the carriage bolts (17) along with 7/16-14 nylock nuts with
warning labels facing the jack (Fig. 6). Place 7/16-14 x 1 ¼”
bolts into correct holes for drum stop (Fig. 7). The inside
holes are for 30 gallon drums and the outside holes are for 55
gallon drums.
Step 7: Store the compactor with the handle in an upright position. To secure
the handle, insert the clevis pin (11) into hole when unit is not in use.
Lock the pin in place with the hitch pin clip (12). (See Fig. 7.)
Step 8: MTC-RB ONLY: Place Ø 1/4 - 20 UNC X 3/4
bolts and 1/4in. lock washers through vertical
support holes (Fig. 8).
Step 9: MTC-RB ONLY: Insert #15 bolt through the
bottom hole on either vertical support
weldment, and through the hole on the roll-out
tray when moving unit (Fig. 8).

Operation instructions:
Read the entire manual before you use the compactor for the first time AND before each subsequent use.
If questions remain after you finish reading the manual, contact Vestil for answers. DO NOT attempt to resolve
problems with the compactor UNLESS you are certain that it will be safe to use afterwards.
Improper operation may result in serious personal injuries.
DO NOT compact contents into a container that is structurally insufficient/compromised.
ALWAYS inspect the compactor and the waste drum BEFORE each use according to the inspection
instructions on p. 9. ONLY use the compactor if it passes the inspection.
Waste storage drum may be too heavy for one person to maneuver. If necessary, ask someone to help you or
employ additional means to move the drum.
NEVER modify or alter the compactor in any way without express, written authorization from Vestil.
Modifications and/or alterations might cause the compactor to function unpredictably, or might make the
compactor unsafe to use.
Keep fingers and hands away from compacting head while in use.
DO NOT stand directly behind (in line with) the handle or lean over the handle during ratcheting. The handle my
swing upwards if the handle is not pressed all the way down during ratcheting.
Step 1: Free the jack handle by removing the storage pin (11) (Fig.
7). Turn the jack direction levers to the “UP” position (Fig. 9),
and fully raise the compactor plate. MTC-RB units: remove
the bolt securing the roll-out tray (see Fig. 8 on p. 5).
Step 2: Center drum under the jack. For MTC-RB units: roll out tray,
place drum on tray and push drum and tray under jack.
Center drum under jack.
Step 3: Turn the jack direction levers to the “DOWN” position (Fig. 9).
Step 4: Stand to one side of the jack handle, so that your arms form a right angle with the handle, and ratchet the
jack downward by moving the handle up and down. Be sure to fully raise and fully lower the handle,
which is necessary for the jack mechanisms to properly interact.
Step 5: After the compactor plate contacts the waste material, continue ratcheting the jack until the desired
degree of compaction is achieved. [NOTE: To optimally compress waste materials, use the compactor
frequently.]
Step 6: Once compaction is complete, turn both direction levers to the “UP” position (Fig. 9).
Step 7: Raise the jack until the compactor plate is high enough to remove the drum or until the compactor plate
reaches the fully raised position.
Step 8: Put the jack handle in the storage position with the clevis pin (11). Secure the clevis with the hitch pin
(12) (see Fig. 7 on p. 5).
Step 9: Remove the waste storage drum. If you have the MTC-RB model, roll out the tray, remove drum and
push back onto the base weldment. MTC-RB model only: Lock the tray assembly in the storage position
with a bolt (15) and nylock nut (16). (See Fig. 8 on p. 5.)
Step 10: Store the compactor in a location that offers protection from the elements. Keep the device dry at all
times.

Moving the Compactor:
Carelessness while moving the compactor might result in personal injuries.
DO NOT move the compactor while loaded with a drum.
Before moving the compactor, secure the jack handle in the storage position with clevis pin (11) & hitch pin (7).
[Units with option MTC-RB] Secure the roll-out tray as described in Step 9 on p.6 before moving the unit.
Step 1: Stand to the side of the unit where the wheels are mounted;
then grab the jack and jack handle. (See Fig. 10.)
Step 2: Tilt the unit towards you until the wheels contact the ground
(Fig. 10).
Step 3: Push the compactor to desired location. Then, slowly lower
the raised side of the unit until the base rests on the ground.

Maintenance and Inspections:
Regular maintenance is essential to keep the compactor in normal operating condition. DO NOT use the compactor if
structural damage is discovered during an inspection. Structural damage includes, but is not limited to, cracked welds,
warping or other deformation of the frame members.
Inspections:
Regular/Frequent: before using it for the first time and before each subsequent use, examine the jack for:
1. Structural damage/deformation;
2. Abnormal function: ratchet the compactor plate up and down
Periodic: Inspect the following components at least once per month for corrosion, damage, and excessive wear,
noisy or rough operation:
1. Compactor plate;
2. Jack front and back plates;
3. Jack and jack handle;
4. Fasteners (bolts, nuts, clevis pin and hitch pin);
5. Labels (as shown on p. 8).
Maintenance:
Implement a maintenance program to ensure that the compactor remains in normal operating condition.
Step 1: Tag the compactor, “Out of Service.”
Step 2: Conduct “Regular/Frequent” and “Periodic” inspections.
Step 3: If deformity, corrosion, rusting, or excessive wear of structural members is present, DO NOT use the
Step 4: Perform all other necessary adjustments and/or repairs.
compactor. Contact Vestil for instructions.
Perform all necessary adjustments and repairs but DO NOT modify the compactor. DO NOT
use the compactor if adjustments and/or repairs are incomplete! Return the compactor to service ONLY after
finishing all necessary repairs and adjustments.
Adjustments are simple corrections that restore the compactor to normal operating condition, such as
tightening loose fasteners or removing dirt or other debris from the surface of the compactor.
“Repairs” are processes that restore the compactor to normal operating condition, e.g. replacing worn or
damaged parts.
A modification is a change that alters the compactor from its original condition, like bending the structural
members or removing part(s). DO NOT modify the compactor without the express, written approval of Vestil.
Modifications may render the compactor unsafe to use. If Vestil approves a modification in writing, you are
responsible for labeling the equipment with the following information:
1. Name of the person(s) who performed the modifications;
2. Date modifications performed;
3. Description of modification(s).
Step 5: Contact Vestil for directions if a condition(s) are discovered during an inspection that is/are not addressed
Step 6: Make a dated record of the repairs, adjustments and/or replacements made.
