For builders, demolition contractors, and groundwork
specialists, traditional waste disposal eats into profits on every single job.
Traditional approaches—hiring skips, paying for waste
collection, or transporting rubble off-site—quickly add up.
Mobile crushers offer a smarter alternative, allowing you
to process waste materials exactly where they’re generated, transforming
costly disposal problems into valuable recycled aggregate.
What is a mobile crusher?
A mobile crusher is crushing equipment designed to be
transported easily between job sites. Unlike stationary crushers that remain
fixed in quarries or recycling yards, mobile crushing equipment can be deployed
directly on construction sites, demolition projects, or anywhere waste
materials need processing.
These machines handle concrete, brick, and other
construction debris. The crushing process reduces large rocks and bulky waste
into smaller pieces or crushed material suitable for reuse as hardcore,
sub-base, or aggregates.
The real cost of traditional waste disposal
Traditional waste management costs a lot throughout the
lifespan of a project.
·
Skip hire charges – Multiple skips
throughout a project quickly become expensive
·
Landfill costs –Waste landfill charges
continue to rise
·
Transport expenses – Fuel, vehicle wear,
and driver time for moving waste materials
·
Bought-in materials – Purchasing hardcore
and aggregates whilst simultaneously paying to dispose of similar materials
For many contractors, these combined costs represent a
significant proportion of project budgets—money that could be saved with
on-site crushing.

How mobile crushers work on-site
Mobile jaw crushers, like our Red Rhino range, are
designed for straightforward use. We offer a wide range of crushers and
screeners, ranging from compact machines to larger models.
Waste materials are loaded into the feed hopper. A hydraulically
driven vibrating tray maintains consistent material flow into the crushing
chamber, maximising efficiency.
Powerful jaws then compress and break down materials. Red
Rhino’s hydraulic adjustable jaws allow output product sizes ranging from 20mm
up to 100mm, depending on the model. Processed material exits via the crusher
discharge conveyor, ready for immediate reuse.
Flexibility across different projects
As well as improving the efficiency of your project by
streamlining waste removal, mobile crushers are also a valuable investment as
they suit various applications:
·
Small to medium construction
·
Large-scale demolition
·
Groundwork and landscaping
·
Recycling yards
Red Rhino’s mobile crusher range
Red Rhino manufactures a comprehensive range of mobile
jaw crushers, designed and built in Grantham, Lincolnshire. Every machine
reflects over 50 years of British engineering expertise.
RR 4000 – Compact and mighty
The RR 4000 is ideal for smaller crushing projects where access is restricted. Small enough to manoeuvre through standard doorways yet powerful enough to process concrete, brick and aggregate. The 400mm x 170mm jaw action crusher features instant hydraulic adjustable jaws, allowing output sizes from 20mm to 80mm.
RR 5000+: versatile & practical
The RR 5000+ (a 500mm x 250mm jaw action crusher) offers
increased capacity whilst remaining practical and mobile. The 5000+ model features
a hydraulically driven vibrating feeder, improving operational efficiency. This
model is capable of outputs up to 15-20
tonnes per hour.
RR 7000 – The middle ground
For contractors needing more capacity than the 5000 but
not requiring the 8000’s power, the 7000 is ideal. This 700mm x 400mm jaw
action crusher comes with a hydraulically driven vibratory tray, maintaining
constant linear action of materials into the jaw.
RR 8000 – Heavy-duty performance
Designed for quarrying, large-scale demolition, and
mining operations, the RR 8000 processes up to 100 tonnes per hour. The 800mm x
500mm jaw action crusher handles demanding materials, whilst grizzly bars
separate material entering the jaw. Foldable grizzly feeder sides simplify
transport between sites.
Mobile crushing: a practical investment
For skip hire companies, plant hire businesses, and
contractors regularly handling construction debris, investing in mobile
crushing equipment is a smart choice.
The initial outlay is offset by eliminating ongoing
disposal costs, generating revenue from recycled materials, and reducing
expenditure on bought-in aggregates.
The versatility of mobile jaw crushers means they’re not
limited to single applications. A machine purchased for demolition work can
equally serve landscaping projects, groundwork contracts, or any situation
where materials need processing.
