Advantages of Onsite Crushing

1. Reduced Transportation Costs

Onsite crushing eliminates the need to haul material to and from recycling facilities or landfills, significantly reducing fuel use, vehicle emissions, and overall project costs.

2. Environmental Benefits

Crushing on site reduces the project’s carbon footprint, diverts usable aggregates from landfill, and supports sustainable construction practices that align with UK environmental standards.

3. Cost Savings

Reusing crushed material as base or fill saves on aggregate purchases and landfill fees, offering considerable savings over the life of a project.

4. Immediate Reuse of Material

Crushed material can be reused immediately for backfill, road base, trench fill, or subbase for slabs, keeping projects efficient and on schedule.

5. Time Efficiency

Onsite crushing streamlines logistics, reduces downtime, and simplifies project timelines by removing the need for offsite recycling and return deliveries.

6. Site Cleanliness and Safety

Clearing bulky materials onsite reduces clutter and truck movements, keeping sites safer and more organised.

7. Flexibility

The Herbst C900 can adjust its output size for different applications and is ideal for remote or rural projects where access to recycling plants or quarries is limited.

8. Regulatory Compliance

Many local authorities now encourage or require onsite recycling. Incorporating onsite crushing can improve compliance and enhance project competitiveness in bids.
