Red Rhino customer, U-Crush-It is a family-owned business based in Alsop en le Dale in the
It was set up as a farm diversification project following the rebuilding of the farm yard. A major part of the work involved taking up an old concrete farm yard to re-level and re-lay with block paving. “We were very keen to recycle the rubble into aggregate and started to look for a machine to do the job. At the time we couldn’t find a small enough machine to get on site”, says Chris Duffell, owner of U-Crush-It.
Duffell says the rubble was taken away and fresh aggregate was purchased from a local quarry, which he believed was wasting a lot of money as well as resources. He then continued searching for a smaller compact crusher to use for future jobs. Finally he came across the Red Rhino 4000 series crusher, “It is impressive, a crusher small enough to fit through the stable door, but man enough to do the job.”
U-Crush-It continues using their 4000 to save money with their own constructing jobs, but also hires the crusher to locals who may wish to save money by crushing onsite, which also encourages environmentally friendly business practice, according to Duffell
