Crawler and Wheeled Mobile Stone Crushing Machines

Mobile stone crushing machines have become indispensable in modern construction and mining operations. Especially the crawler-type and wheeled variants enhance mobility on-site and significantly boost operational efficiency. These machines offer faster setup, flexibility, and lower operational costs compared to stationary crushing plants.

1. General Definition

Mobile crushers are portable systems designed to reduce various types of rocks and minerals into smaller sizes. They are mainly categorized into two types:

  • Crawler Mobile Crushers: Designed for rough terrain, better suited for off-road mobility.

  • Wheeled Mobile Crushers: Ideal for smoother surfaces and faster relocation.

2. Application Areas

These machines are commonly used in:

  • Construction industry (infrastructure and superstructure)

  • Mining sites

  • Quarries

  • Recycling centers

  • Road construction

3. Advantages

  • Mobility: Easily transported within the job site.

  • Time-saving: No need for fixed installation; immediate operation.

  • Lower transport costs: It's more efficient to move the machine than the material.

  • Eco-friendly: Modern units consume less energy and produce less noise.

4. Technical Features

Common components include:

  • Vibrating feeder

  • Main crusher unit (jaw, impact, cone)

  • Conveyor belts

  • Screening systems

  • Power unit (diesel or electric)

5. When to Use Which Type?

  • Crawler Machines: Best for mountainous, rugged areas with difficult terrain.

  • Wheeled Machines: Suitable for urban projects or locations with flat terrain and short travel distances.
