Following extensive testing and development over the last twelve months, Taylor Construction Plant of Maldon in Essex has announced the introduction of the Hi-C40 compact jaw crusher.

Weighing just 750 kg, this fully hydrostatic unit has been designed to utilise the proven chassis and running gear of the company’s highly successful 500 kg capacity Hi-T500 diesel powered tracked dumper.

The Hi-C40 has an impressive crushing force in excess of 60 tonne and the jaw outlet has an efficient and unique method of external adjustment to provide a finished product size ranging from 20 to 70 mm. The machine’s inlet, positioned at a height of 1200 mm, has a throat measuring 400 mm square which is designed to accept material up to this size, loaded either manually or mechanically using the company’s Hi-T500 dumper or a mini excavator.

Much emphasis has been placed on operator safety with a four level system of equipment security and safety cut-outs. This safety system, if activated, immediately cuts power to the machine’s hydraulic system, as well as stopping the engine.

The Hi-C40’s liner plates are formed from high wear and abrasive resistant steel and all wear plates are relatively inexpensive to replace. In addition, the machine features an optional dust suppression system requiring connection to an external water supply.

TCP is confident that its new machine will prove ideal for a wide variety of small crushing jobs where concrete and brick building waste can be rapidly reduced to useable hardcore, thus saving the cost of both cart-away and imported fill. The efficiency of the Hi-C40, together with its conveyor discharge, should provide an excellent return on investment for either an end user or crusher hire company.

In addition, being mounted on a narrow rubber tracked carrier, the Hi-C40 is easy to manoeuver across site or pass through a standard doorway if required.
