Crush your waste on site with a mobile crushing machine recycling at its best

This is the Red Rhino 4000 the crushing machine that is my new favourite piece of plant!!!!
We have used the machine to crush a demolished garage and we have created enough crushed material for all the landscaping work on site

Why is the most expensive man on site doing a labourers job? 😂

[@mergrew0110]

Because it’s a new toy…….! Go back next week and see when the novelty wears off.

Looks like hard work to me.

A nice bit of kit Robin. Now as a bricklayer I know you would be shocked at the price of the bricks you have just crushed.

[@eddjordan2399]

best price i could find was £150 for a weekend say you do 14 hours at the weekend whats a laborer these days 80 quid a day. so thats £160 then 20 quid fuel total £330 in south the cheapest you will get a grab is about £400, and a lorry load of mot is £600, so if the crusher can do 20 tons its a bargain maybe warn the neighbors first though.

[@robevs100ok]

Mot type 1 is £140 for 10T

[@peefor135]

@@robevs100ok That sounds like wishful thinking. £600 is nearer the mark. Be very interested in your supplier. ;-)

[@elsdonsparks]

"D and J projects". here on You tube, basically a fencing Co. progressed to collecting your rubble in their grab lorry (cheaper than a skip), crushing it at their yard and selling it in their yard, also the same for soil, screening out even more rubble to be crushed, and now offer to hire out the crusher and an man to load/operate by the day.

[@NeonXXP]

I use Marty Green here in Norfolk who does the same thing, plus they do groundworks and plant hire (manned or unmanned) at a good price too. I hate how much I wasted on skips over the years before I discovered them. No affiliation! XD

[@joehowden360]

Glad to start seeing more of these about has on a few times this year I had the tiger bite one we did about 80 ton in 4 days so was well worth it was loading with a machine worked well. Great videos robin.

[@DIYLONDON]

Such a great gadget robin, always good to see a tradesperson using their intellect to save their clients cost and time, on top of the bonus of recyclin! 👍❤

[@davidquirk8097]

I've always thought crushing on site and reusing was the best way. Is there still the VAT saving that used to apply? A friend of mine (admittedly she was living in Powys, Wales, so it may have been different) had a crusher on site to crush all the concrete and brickwork when her house and yard was remodelled and she got a VAT rebate on all the materials that were bought for the project because she had the crusher and used the hardcore created in her build.

[@michaeltaylor4824]

The Restoration Couple have just done this, albeit on a much larger scale to the point they paid a contractor to do it, but the figures are compelling, before you factor in the environmental benefits.

[@thomascoyne157]

Nice little machine👍👍👍👍

[@lloyd4011]

Is this a suitable replacement for MOT1 for structures? Looks like it would be good for landscaping/patio work. What about driveways?

[@MelbourneAlan]

these are a great machine to have can really save on money if you have the right stuff to crush. it would be so much better with an infeed conveyer that you could load with a wheelbarrow so you can put it straight in as you knock it down. i cant understand why the outfeed conveyer is so short. d & j have a tigerbite and its the same. far too short. you really need it twice as long to create a big pile to save moving it so much and also to allow you to load into a dumper .

[@NeonXXP]

Cool machine but pretty niche. I don't imagine the stuff it spews out is as good and type 1 granite for a lot of things. For reference I had a grab lorry remove 10T rubble and come back with of 10T type 1 this year. It cost me £700 (inc VAT) and was all done in under an hour with no time or effort on my behalf. A 4000 Crusher is about £110 a day for hire, but is a lot of work.

[@charliedummer6336]

As a fair comparison, 10t of recycled MOT would be £240 inc VAT. A grab will take 15t of rubble in a load as well. If you have the right suppliers, which are no hard task to find, these mini crushers make no sense!

Something that small is very limited. I crushed all our oversite which worked very well but the machine was a little bigger and able to crush larger lumps of concrete.

[@user-ey8yw1vv3r]

can the crushed hardcore be used in a concrete floor base in the extension of my house? Thanks

[@SlightOfHand28]

@user-ey8yw1vv3r No, you have to use proper mot or the building inspector would definitely pull it regardless of if it was good quality hardcore or not. Robins using it for landscaping and other things I really doubt Robin himself would run the risk of using this under a slab oit of fear of getting pulled.

[@peterwest7855]

How does cast compare with minimum wage labour cleaning all the bricks for a new construction using recycled?

[@ukconstruction]

Hi Peter, these bricks where not the type that would be good as a secondhand brick, the mortar was well attched and they where not really a good facing brick hence the reason why we crushed them

[@dbat3291]

Looked at similar on hire earlier in the year but as a homeowner DIY job they all seem to want insurance taken out on top 😟

[@JohnnyMotel99]

Next door to where I live a developer demolished a 70’s building and brought in a crusher for a month to make a huge pile of MOT 1……then they had it tested, found it contained traces of asbestos, they had to dump the lot at even more expense!😂

[@sarahann530]

Where did they dump the lot ?

[@peefor135]

A couple of projects back, the Building inspector was adament that bricks were not to be used under a concrete floor slab, only crushed concrete or type 1.

[@JohnnyMotel99]

@@sarahann530 Well, some friendly farmer took the lot for tracks. Still it took 20 large trucks to remove it all. I guess the farmer wasn't so concerned about asbestos contamination.

[@sarahann530]

@JohnnyMotel99 What was the the source of the asbestos ? Crushing a building from the 70s does not create MOT 1 even without asbestos . Did you report the illegal dumping of asbestos or did the person that tested for it report it ?

[@JohnnyMotel99]

@@sarahann530 I use the term MOT1 generically, they wanted to use the crushed material for backfill and under paved areas. It wasn’t intended to be sold.

[@snapdragogon69]

Had one on hire the winter before last. Red Rhino. It was a mistake. The labour feeding in the blockes, tiles, bricks, slabs conrete etc,,, and babysitting them (repositioning them when they just jiggle.). Wet and muddy stuff doesn't bite at all. Would've been easier/cheaper to get it hauled away and replaced with hardcore someone else crushed on an industrial sale.

[@I-am-not-a-number]

So green! Is it solar-powered?

[@ukconstruction]

Not this one but you never know what with the speed of technology it will probably happen one day!!!

[@oxymoron5167]

I’m not convinced - I’d only consider this is the access for loading/unloading was more then say 100m which is unlikely on most residential projects.

[@adrianbew9641]

They are like rocking horse shit to hire in a great deal of places, we've tried and ended up using the crusher bucket instead.

[@SlightOfHand28]

I like the idea, but the machine doesn't look powerful enough to compensate for the labour costs filling it and hiring of the machine. Plus, I dont think the client or the clients neighbours would appreciate that sound. Going all day. Neither would I for that matter, I'd rather listen to the radio. Its a step in the right direction but no where near before people start using them. It would have to decrease the cost of hardcore by about 50% for me to cope with that noise and hassle of it breaking down all day.

[@Doug....]

That would have been 3 grab lorries? Plus cost of new hardcore. No lugging to the road. No brainer i think Robin. Was it dear to hire ?

[@ukconstruction]

I will find out what the cost for the hire was and come back to you at some point

[@Doug....]

@@ukconstruction Cheers Robin. Im not a builder but like to see labour saving and money saving as well. 😀

[@liamleech6844]

For me it was cheaper getting grabs and getting them to deliver recycled hardcore. £750 that machine is for a week. Still have to pay lads to feed the machine and pay them to move the hardcore

[@Doug....]

@@liamleech6844 Yes thats a lot to hire. See your point.

[@stephennutkin2477]

Are some or most of the bricks not recyclable as a whole unit ?. Iam not speaking with any authority just a thought 👍

[@ukconstruction]

Quite often we will reclaim good clean bricks but these where not that type of brick that would be sought after so they are more valuable to us on site as crushed material

[@luckyluke8052]

Just wonder how much is cost from hire this machine? To be honest, it works very slowly.
