Crush Your Waste On-Site With a Mobile Crusher

Share This Post

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 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.
