Restoration specialist discovers the benefits of TCP’s compact crusher Specialising in restoration and conversion work, M.E. Endersby Builders of Willington near Bedford frequently has to remove large quantities of broken concrete and bricks from site prior to importing hardcore for new ground floor sub bases and hard standing areas. Recently Mr. Endersby, or ‘Tich’ as he is known by most people, spotted one of TCP’s compact tracked crushers during a visit to his local Wolseley UK Center and he could immediately see the many potential benefits of recycling material on his own projects. These benefits were proved conclusively the very first time the Hi-C40 was hired for a farm building conversion job where several tonnes of rubble were put through the unit for reuse on site. Commenting on the success of the trial, Mr. Endersby said: “I was delighted with the crusher’s performance and ease of use and I will definitely be hiring one on a regular basis to take advantage of both the cost and environmental savings.” The crusher offered by the Hire Center Bedford branch is in fact one of ten units recently purchased by the company. Commenting on the decision to add the machines to its nationwide plant holding, Wolseley UK brand director for Hire David Himsworth said: “Our interest was initially stimulated by an enquiry from the Isle of Man where skip charges have increased fourfold during the last two years. With the planned increases in landfill tax the problems associated with skips are set to escalate dramatically, so we took the decision to add the crushers to our fleet following the success we have already experienced with TCP’s compact tracked dumpers.” The Hi-C40 is powered by a reliable 7.4 kW Kubota diesel engine, offers an impressive crushing force of 60 tonne at the jaw outlet and has an efficient and unique method of external adjustment to provide a finished product size ranging from 20 to 70 mm.
