Concrete Crusher Attachments for Skid Steers

Skid steer-mounted concrete crushers are compact, high-efficiency tools designed for demolition and recycling applications. These attachments transform skid steers into mobile crushing units, processing concrete debris into reusable aggregates (typically 0-50mm). Key models like the -L120 and HCR90 offer jaw crusher mechanisms with hydraulic adjustment, achieving throughputs of 15-30 tons/hour depending on material hardness.

Core Features & Parameters

Model Crushing Force Max Feed Size Output Size Weight (kg)
-L120 12,000 lbs 500×300 mm 20-100 mm 750
HCR90 9,500 lbs 450×280 mm 15-80 mm 650

*Note: Requires skid steer hydraulic flow ≥20 GPM.*

Screening & Grading Integration

For complete aggregate production, pair crushers with vibratory screen buckets (e.g., Allu SMH-3-12) to separate fines (0-5mm sand) from coarse aggregates (5-40mm). This setup enables on-site production of ASTM C33-compliant materials for backfill or sub-base applications.

FAQ Highlights

Q: s handle rebar?

A: Yes—most models include reinforced jaws and shear pins to cut embedded steel.

Q: Maintenance intervals?

A: Lubricate bearings every 50 hours; inspect jaws every 200 hours.

Tunnel Demolition Case Study (Seattle, 2023)

A contractor used an -L120 on a 262D skid steer to crush 800 tons of tunnel concrete daily. The output (0-40mm aggregate) was reused for road sub-base, reducing landfill costs by 60%.
