Crusher hire, kept simple
We give businesses and private individuals across Shropshire, Mid Wales and the West Midlands a simple way to recycle their own concrete and brick rubble on site, without buying a crusher or bringing in a crushing contractor.
Founded by Neil Carter
JTC Crusher Hire is run by founder Neil Carter from our base at Ford, just west of Shrewsbury. It’s part of JTC Plant Services Ltd, established in 2013.
Too much good material still leaves site in a skip. Broken concrete, brick and block that could have been crushed and reused as sub-base gets hauled away, and new stone gets hauled back in. Contract crushing isn’t worth it for smaller jobs, and buying a crusher doesn’t make sense if you only need one a few times a year.
Self-hire fills that gap. We deliver the Dragon Equipment CR450, a compact, easy-to-run crusher, to your site for as long as you need it, and you crush on your own schedule. You avoid landfill, cut the cost of skips and quarry stone, and end up with aggregate you can use straight away.
That’s Neil in our CR450 walk-round video below. Want to talk through whether crushing makes sense for your job? Call us on 07866 152 151.

What you can expect from us
A well-kept machine, a proper handover and someone on the end of the phone for the whole of your hire.
Well-kept kit
The CR450 is checked, cleaned and fuelled before every hire, so it starts first time and crushes all day.
Straightforward booking
Tell us your dates, where the site is and what you’re crushing. We’ll confirm availability and deliver the crusher to your site.
Talked through properly
Every hire starts with a run-through of the controls, jaw adjustment and safe loading, so you’re confident from the first bucket.
Waste into value
We believe hard waste belongs back in the job, not in a skip. That saves money and cuts lorry miles.
We chose the machine we’d want to hire ourselves
The Dragon Equipment CR450 is compact, simple to run and built to keep going. It has the largest Hardox jaw in its range and a Kubota diesel engine, and it’s narrow enough to get onto the sites where on-site crushing makes the biggest difference.
- 460 × 205mm Hardox jaw, the largest in the range
- Instant crush-size adjustment from 3mm to 55mm
- Kubota D722 19HP diesel with anti-stall and auto reverse
- 970mm wide and 1,450kg on all-terrain tracks
- Fold-up conveyor, with the greedy board fitted as standard
