Crusher hire for construction sites
Turn demolition arisings and site waste into reusable aggregate without it ever leaving the gate. The CR450 is compact enough for tight urban plots and tough enough for a full day’s crushing.
Stop paying to move the same material twice
On most sites broken concrete and brick go out in grab lorries, and then type 1 and hardcore come back in on the next wagon. You pay for both trips, and for the tipping as well.
With a CR450 on site you crush that waste where it lands and put it straight back into the job as sub-base, piling mat, haul road or backfill. You also get a quieter gate, fewer lorry movements, and a waste figure that looks much better on your reports.
- Crush concrete, brick, block and hard rubble on site
- Adjustable 3–55mm output for sub-base, fill and bedding
- 970mm wide, so it fits on restricted and urban sites
- Loads from the mini excavator you already have on site
- Delivered to your site across Shropshire, Mid Wales & the West Midlands
How contractors use the CR450
Demolition arisings
Process concrete frames, slabs, blockwork and brick from strip-outs and knock-downs.
Haul roads & piling mats
Crush to a coarse grade and lay it back down as working platforms and temporary roads.
Sub-base & backfill
Reuse crushed material under slabs and hardstanding, and as trench and foundation backfill.
Cut muck-away costs
Fewer skips and grab lorries, and less bought-in aggregate, so more margin stays on the job.
What contractors say about JTC
- ★★★★★
“Instead of paying for skip or grabber hire to remove the rubble and having to then buy in 8 tonnes of hardcore to complete our project, I crushed it on site, to the grade that I wanted, all within a day.”
Ashley Vaughan-EvansBuilderGoogle review - ★★★★★
“Have used Neil at JTC many times over the last 4 years and he’s always done a great job for us… we have some great recycled material that we haven’t had to pay to get rid of only to buy back in!”
Haygate Developments LtdDeveloperGoogle review - ★★★★★
“I had 50 to 60 tonnes of hardcore, and with limited access, would have cost me a fortune to get off site… I will re-use it all during my build.”

If it’s hard and inert, the CR450 will crush it
Concrete, bricks, blocks, paving slabs, paviours and tarmac can all be fed in and come out as graded aggregate you can reuse on the same job.

Dragon Equipment CR450
tracked diesel crusher
A compact, heavy-duty jaw crusher for demolition, recycling and aggregate production. It turns concrete, brick, stone and rubble into usable material, right where the job is.
Largest Hardox jaw in the range
A 460 × 205mm mouth takes bigger pieces of concrete, brick and stone. The funnel is shaped for loading from a mini excavator.
Instant crush size, 3–55mm
Adjust the jaw in seconds, from fine material for bedding to coarse crush for hardcore and sub-base.
Kubota D722 diesel
A 19HP engine that’s fuel-efficient, low-emission and reliable, with electric start, anti-stall and auto reverse.
12+ hours on a tank
The 33 litre fuel tank keeps it crushing all day without stopping to refuel.
970mm wide, 1,450kg
Narrow enough for tight sites and light enough to move on a trailer, which keeps transport costs down.
All-terrain tracks
Tracks give stable, low-impact movement over rough ground, so you can put the crusher where the waste is.

Construction: common questions
Anything else? Add it to your booking request or call 07866 152 151.
Can the crushed concrete be used as sub-base?
Crushed concrete is widely reused as sub-base, fill and hardcore. Whether it meets a particular specification depends on what you feed in and the grade you set. Tell us what it’s for and we’ll help you set the jaw up for it.
How much can the CR450 get through in a day?
It depends on the material and the output size you choose. The CR450 is built to crush harder material at speed for long periods, and a 33 litre tank gives more than twelve hours of running.
Will it fit on a restricted site?
At 970mm wide on all-terrain tracks, the CR450 fits into tight compounds, back-of-pavement plots and gaps that bigger crushers can’t reach. In transport mode it’s 2,515mm long and 1,880mm high.
Does it handle reinforced concrete?
Remove rebar and mesh before feeding it in. Clean concrete, brick and block give the best, most reusable aggregate and the least wear on the jaw.
