Abstract

Compactor (100) suitable for compacting and wrapping bulk material and suitable for transportation on public roads. The compactor comprises a bunker (200) for reception of the bulk material to be compacted. The bunker (200) exhibits a front end adjacent to a baler unit (300), and a rear end facing the supply of bulk material. The compactor (100) exhibits a longitudinal axis (L) coinciding with the transport direction of the compactor (100) on a road. The bunker (200) comprises two substantially mirror-symmetric foldable first (201A) and second (201B) bunker section mounted to a frame (207) in a pivotal manner in a vertical direction about a horizontal axis extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis (L). An end plate (205A; 205B) is mounted pivotal at the rear of the bunker (200) serving as anchoring means and bulk collector means. The first and second bunker sections (201A; 201B) are mounted mutually displaced to the frame (207) to enable one bunker section (201B) to be inserted into the other bunker section (201A) to reduce width and volume before transport of the compactor (100) on public roads.
