The GM1300 is the largest model in the GM series, built for hospitals and laboratories generating up to 1,300 kg of general medical waste a day. Like the rest of the GM range it’s top-loaded and well suited to bulkier waste — dressings, linen, mattresses — but at this size, it also includes a heavy-duty front ram guard so larger waste loads can be brought in with a JCB or telehandler without damaging the chamber.
That reinforced loading area is the main practical difference from the smaller GM units: it’s built for facilities that need to move larger volumes of waste into the chamber efficiently, not just handle occasional bulky items by hand.
Key Benefits
- Largest chamber in the GM series, at approximately 2.3 m³
- Heavy-duty front ram guard for loading with a JCB or telehandler
- Triple-layered refractory construction for fuel efficiency
- Top-loading design suited to bulky items alongside standard clinical waste
- Reduces waste volume by up to roughly 97%
- Runs on diesel, propane, natural gas, or biofuel

- Regional or consolidated healthcare waste operations
- Emergency and surge medical waste response at scale
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the GM1300 need a reinforced front guard?
At this size, waste is often loaded with machinery like a JCB or telehandler rather than by hand, and the reinforced guard protects the chamber’s refractory lining from that impact.
Is the GM1300 meant for permanent installation or temporary emergency use?
It’s part of the GM “emergency-usage” range by name, but functions well as standard equipment for high-volume facilities — many are installed as permanent, ongoing equipment rather than short-term emergency units.
What's the difference between the GM1300 and the C200, given both handle a high volume?
The GM1300 is top-loaded, built for bulky items and machinery loading; the C200 is a cylindrical, front-loaded unit optimized for continuous hourly throughput of high-plastic-content waste. The right pick depends on your waste type and how it arrives at the machine.
