We believe that smaller crushers including those mounted on excavators, will facilitate the recovery of materials from smaller and more remote contracts that would normally have gone to landfill. Furthermore, the introduction of small screens has aided the segregation, cleaning and washing of these materials, bringing materials resource efficiency to even the smallest construction, building or demolition project.

Ever since we unveiled the Dig A Crusher concept here in the UK, the Dig A Crusher 900 model has been one of our most popular models. Weighing in at 3.5 tonnes and boasting a capacity of 0.75 cubic metres, the Dig A Crusher was THE choice for operators of 22 tonne class hydraulic excavators.
Until now.
We are about to unveil the new 900S, an upgraded version of that original 900 that boasts some 30% greater productivity and a geometry that allows it to fit an even wider range of carriers. If you want proof, check out this video to see how a 21 tonne Komatsu PC210 wields this new attachment.
At present, there is only one Dig A Crusher 900S in the UK. But if you’d like to be among the first to see one in action, please use the Leave a Reply area below, and we’ll be in touch.

“…In the red corner, weighing in at an impressive 40 tonnes, the Powerscreen WARRIOR. And in the blue corner, weighing a measly 3.5 tonnes, the Dig A Crusher 900 crusher bucket…”
Word reaches us that a group of vandals broke into a Thames Valley site recently and decided to see which of the two crushers were the toughest: the old heavyweight; or the up and coming lightweight contender. Setting aside the Queensberry Rules, they used the Dig A Crusher as a battering ram against its much larger opponent.
On paper, this had all the makings of the most one-sided fight since Frank Bruno repeatedly head-butted Mike Tyson’s boxing gloves.
But anyone that is familiar with the story of David and Goliath or who has seen the movie 300 should know that size doesn’t always matter in these circumstances, as the following photo clearly illustrates.
The aptly-named Warrior lies beaten, reduced to so much mangled metal while the Dig A Crusher….
…well the Dig A Crusher isn’t in the photo because it’s actually back at work having required no repair or maintenance work.
Now we certainly wouldn’t suggest that a head-to-head battle of the Titans is any way to make your equipment selection decisions. But, at the same time, if it’s durability you’re after….well, you decide.
If you’d like to suggest any future opponents for the mighty and still unbeaten Dig A Crusher 900, or if you’d simply like to write an epitaph for the beaten and bowed Warrior, please use the Leave a Reply area below.
