Have never managed to get hard core as a free cooler t, even when it was either all brick and block or clean broke out concrete, don't even get a reduction in grab rates either.

My experience with the Tiger bite, my mate hired is very noisy, and at less than a year old was in bad condition, guy left spare belts behind and the battery was dead the next day, all safety stops broken and just as it's bad the noise, it is loud.

The UK built dragon is even more expensive than the tiger bite l, convertor is an add on the same as PTO for hydraulic breaker

Same here pay for crushable away. Type 1 around 19 a ton fresh 40mm clean around 22 all plus vat. Recycled type 1 14.50

 

[6feetdown]

These lads seem to have plenty
Apparently the gravel comes from a Welsh beach, a lake District lake shore and some random quarry.

Could be an avant in the background

Those prices are near double round here

Then crushing your own becomes viable?

Not on red rhino scale. Few smaller companies running PTO crushers which are much more productive. We only pay haulage on clean concrete out, full price on a skip or grab and £30 on a tipper

That's some good prices, just had to pay £31 plus vat per ton, locally to me not much better, but if have the space can sometimes get grs to do a straight drop for a decent saving

Those prices are 20t loads

I must be doing well looking at prices quoted on here, this is along the A3 corridor from outer London down to the south coast (tippers)
Clean hardcore is haulage only, clean concrete is £40 a load, M/A £260-£300 (grab same money)
6f5 £180-£200, type1 crushed (recycled) £240, pure clean crushed concrete type1 (looks like they have only crushed bags of cement ) £290 this goes off like concrete, to the point I used it under block paving and had to lift it and punch holes through it to make it permeable/stop puddling
if anyone wants contacts let me know, they cover most of south east
have toyed with the crusher bucket option many times but can’t see it paying, run Lloyd screeners on my fleet and they have paid for them selfs times over but crushers just can’t see it

Is this Chambers???

No, have never used them (toilets only) and the material that has been from them (developer supplied) is why I don’t!!

Pretty much inline with prices in Kent, Your aggregates may be a bit less, i'd be interested in a contact for the clean crushed concrete type1 ? sounds like it could be useful

Physcosis?

 

[DaveDCB]

Costs me about £4 /ton to crush(hire & loading machine), based on 350ton which I can do on my own.. always use as much as I can on site , some normally goes into the farm tracks to keep them topped up. Any spare sells for £7/ton collected(6f2), but that’s only really to shift it out the way to allow more to be crushed!!

I'd be interested in a number for them, always good to have a source of good crush - I can never get it so end up using primary type 1 which is £££££ in this area.

Collards do the good concrete crush
Can be bit funny about distances but also have a tipper firm I use based near Gatwick that collect and deliver further afield

 

[Left hooker]

Got this to crush soon getting big crusher in to do it
Pile is 20ft high helped we have a nice change of height so lorrys can tip off with minimal pushing off

I have had some talks with crusher bucket maker TMA Machinery. He does C1, C2, & C3 sizes of bucket. The C2 is hydraulically the same as the C1 & both same width but with more depth allowing a bigger load to be crushed before having to do another digging cycle to refill. The C3 can be used in the same way on a bigger machine but is shown mounted pointing uphill in a static position in his video on an Avant loader - basically the loader is just running as a power pack.
The question is often asked I gather what performance will I get on X Lpm as on my machine? To this end the maker mounted one on a 2t Sany with an adjustable aux circuit. In all cases pressure was 160 Bar max The video shows performance at several flow rates i.e cycles per min

Bucket on test was a C1

The general channel for his other vids is here https://www.youtube.com/@tma4403 The bucket on the Avant is seen being hand fed in one of them.
He has promised me a vid of the C1 working on 20 Lpm @ 160Bar - about where many mini aux flows start but is sending it via WhatsApp when wife gets back - as I am a tech dinosaur. He says that at the bottom end that 20 Lpm is not that different to 25 Lpm - the bucket seems to be eating through bricks pretty well @ 25 Lpm & 160 Bar
C1 & C2 have an external width of 18 inches, C1 weighs 215 Kg empty & if used as a digging bucket to fill add about 50 Kg if crushing stone (this does not apply if the bucket is being hand fed as you would probably not get that much in at once -hand feeding means no break to the crushing cycle.

Just thought I would add this in case anyone else interested in small scale crushing. Kindly supplied by Mr Alan Colebatch, Director of TMA
