The latest skid steer attachments making their way into the mining, demolition, and landscaping industries are the rock crushers. If there are rocks, stones and construction debris such as broken bricks, cinder block, and other material taking over the work area, it is time to consider a rock crushing skid steer attachment. These formidable skid steer attachments were conceived and created by a mining engineer, who has extensive experience in dealing with large stones and debris. Suitable rock crusher skid steer attachments should have at least a 24-inch chute to accept sizable pieces of crushable material. Better yet, they should not use teeth to break up the material. Some rock crushers use a heavy-duty drum system, which drastically cuts down (no pun intended) on the number of moving parts needed to operate it. Other rock crushers use teeth, which can wear down and even break off, after extended use. That is why it is important to find a rock crusher with as few breakable pieces as possible. Most decent rock crusher skid steer attachments can reduce crushable material down to 2 inches in diameter — basically, turning it into large gravel. That makes recycling, reusing, or disposing of stone and concrete debris a viable option, as opposed to dumping or landfilling. The rock crushers are elegant, efficient, and uncomplicated skid steer attachments that have proven extremely useful in the field. The most formidable rock crushers use a large roller, with jaws made of high-tensile steel alloy. There are some rock crushers that can exert up to 60,000 PSI of crushing pressure, but only weighs 850 pounds. That means that when it is attached to a skid steer loader, they are mobile, but very powerful, skid steer attachments. As with most other skid steer attachments, an operator can hook the rock crusher to a skid steer loader and take it directly to the scene to start working. Other rock and debris demolishers are stand-alone machines, and material must be brought to them. These skid steer attachments make rock crushing extremely convenient and efficient. They are light on power needs as well. The rock crusher skid steer attachments are so efficient at their job, they can use regular/low-flow hydraulic lines, rather than the high-flow one would expect. The rock crusher's design works so well that it reduces strain and wear on the hydraulic system of the skid steer. A good rock crusher can be used on the boom of a skid steer loader to act like a traditional bucket to scoop up any rocks and debris that need to be pulverized. There should be no need to load the unit, but to use the skid steer boom to load itself up. Imagine using the rock crusher skid steer attachments to complete a seemingly impossible task. Perhaps there is a parcel of land slated for building, but over the last few years it has become a repository for the by-products of other construction endeavors. Now it is covered in broken piles of stone, bricks, and cement blocks. Leave it? Forget about the idea? Hire a demolition crew to come in and remove the material? Not if there is a rock crusher available. A rock crusher attached to a skid steer loader can easily scoop up the piles, pulverize them, and then, turn them into gravel to use in backfill to help with drainage. And in some cases, a rock crusher will cost nearly as much, if not a lot less, than the removal crew (who probably have the very same skid steer attachments in their own arsenal). So consider a rock crusher attachment for any kind of demolition or mining operation, and save on the high costs and inconveniences of a stand-alone rock crusher.
