Hi Robin, I run a small groundwork company, previously hired in tiger bite mini crushers ,too many design faults on those machines ,so having looked at the Red Rhino 4000 at Hill Head Head show 2 years ago ,I decided to invest in one , fantastic bit of kit , might not be the fastest machine but the product it turns out is first class,I now take waste bricks and paving back to the yard, crush to a stockpile and sell to local paving lads or use on my own jobs,also take to jobs recently crushed over 60 ton in 3 days and it was all used on the job, customer was made up,like you say the secret is to hand feed,take your time and the machine will do the work,think it's going to turn out one of the best bits of kit I've bought,not cheap but a great machine 👍
I hired a Red Rhino to crush the foundations, chimneys and dwarf walls on the old bungalow that occupied a site I did a self-build on in 2005. I was so impressed with it even then, had I not also been in full time employment at the time, I would have definitely bought one and operated a 'man and crusher' service. I got so much satisfaction from turning worthless mess into really nice hardcore - I would almost have done it for free just for the pleasure!
Glad to start seeing more of these about has on a few times this year I had the tiger bite one we did about 80 ton in 4 days so was well worth it was loading with a machine worked well. Great videos robin.
"D and J projects". here on You tube, basically a fencing Co. progressed to collecting your rubble in their grab lorry (cheaper than a skip), crushing it at their yard and selling it in their yard, also the same for soil, screening out even more rubble to be crushed, and now offer to hire out the crusher and an man to load/operate by the day.
I use Marty Green here in Norfolk who does the same thing, plus they do groundworks and plant hire (manned or unmanned) at a good price too. I hate how much I wasted on skips over the years before I discovered them. No affiliation! XD
Such a great gadget robin, always good to see a tradesperson using their intellect to save their clients cost and time, on top of the bonus of recyclin! 👍❤
I've always thought crushing on site and reusing was the best way. Is there still the VAT saving that used to apply? A friend of mine (admittedly she was living in Powys, Wales, so it may have been different) had a crusher on site to crush all the concrete and brickwork when her house and yard was remodelled and she got a VAT rebate on all the materials that were bought for the project because she had the crusher and used the hardcore created in her build.
He is no doubt being sponsored , it’s all about the snout 🐽 in the trough , they are all the same telling you they are imparting hard earned knowledge & the know best, ban them from utube , then watch ….. them howl ….. they all talk a good game ! But remember without the media …… they are nothing ….. & if they don’t like your comment……. It disappears ….. I’m not saying all , but a fair percentage do I’ve 50 years in the trade & this fella is telling you to buy a dinky toy to do the job , it’s good for doing a footpath anything else order in your crush, you don’t need the headache, what are you going to do with it after your extension? Uggh! Exactly! It’s not a pro job ….. it’s a toy for someone with too much money, that bit of kit will burn out before you get to the bus stop, but I’m recommending this machine because it’s brilliant 😂
these are a great machine to have can really save on money if you have the right stuff to crush. it would be so much better with an infeed conveyer that you could load with a wheelbarrow so you can put it straight in as you knock it down. i cant understand why the outfeed conveyer is so short. d & j have a tigerbite and its the same. far too short. you really need it twice as long to create a big pile to save moving it so much and also to allow you to load into a dumper .
@user-ey8yw1vv3r No, you have to use proper mot or the building inspector would definitely pull it regardless of if it was good quality hardcore or not. Robins using it for landscaping and other things I really doubt Robin himself would run the risk of using this under a slab oit of fear of getting pulled.
Had one on hire the winter before last. Red Rhino. It was a mistake. The labour feeding in the blockes, tiles, bricks, slabs conrete etc,,, and babysitting them (repositioning them when they just jiggle.). Wet and muddy stuff doesn't bite at all. Would've been easier/cheaper to get it hauled away and replaced with hardcore someone else crushed on an industrial sale.
The Restoration Couple have just done this, albeit on a much larger scale to the point they paid a contractor to do it, but the figures are compelling, before you factor in the environmental benefits.
Hi Peter, these bricks where not the type that would be good as a secondhand brick, the mortar was well attched and they where not really a good facing brick hence the reason why we crushed them
Cool machine but pretty niche. I don't imagine the stuff it spews out is as good and type 1 granite for a lot of things. For reference I had a grab lorry remove 10T rubble and come back with of 10T type 1 this year. It cost me £700 (inc VAT) and was all done in under an hour with no time or effort on my behalf. A 4000 Crusher is about £110 a day for hire, but is a lot of work.
As a fair comparison, 10t of recycled MOT would be £240 inc VAT. A grab will take 15t of rubble in a load as well. If you have the right suppliers, which are no hard task to find, these mini crushers make no sense!
best price i could find was £150 for a weekend say you do 14 hours at the weekend whats a laborer these days 80 quid a day. so thats £160 then 20 quid fuel total £330 in south the cheapest you will get a grab is about £400, and a lorry load of mot is £600, so if the crusher can do 20 tons its a bargain maybe warn the neighbors first though.
Something that small is very limited. I crushed all our oversite which worked very well but the machine was a little bigger and able to crush larger lumps of concrete.
Next door to where I live a developer demolished a 70’s building and brought in a crusher for a month to make a huge pile of MOT 1……then they had it tested, found it contained traces of asbestos, they had to dump the lot at even more expense!😂
A couple of projects back, the Building inspector was adament that bricks were not to be used under a concrete floor slab, only crushed concrete or type 1.
@@sarahann530 Well, some friendly farmer took the lot for tracks. Still it took 20 large trucks to remove it all. I guess the farmer wasn't so concerned about asbestos contamination.
@JohnnyMotel99 What was the the source of the asbestos ? Crushing a building from the 70s does not create MOT 1 even without asbestos . Did you report the illegal dumping of asbestos or did the person that tested for it report it ?
@@sarahann530 I use the term MOT1 generically, they wanted to use the crushed material for backfill and under paved areas. It wasn’t intended to be sold.
Quite often we will reclaim good clean bricks but these where not that type of brick that would be sought after so they are more valuable to us on site as crushed material
I like the idea, but the machine doesn't look powerful enough to compensate for the labour costs filling it and hiring of the machine. Plus, I dont think the client or the clients neighbours would appreciate that sound. Going all day. Neither would I for that matter, I'd rather listen to the radio. Its a step in the right direction but no where near before people start using them. It would have to decrease the cost of hardcore by about 50% for me to cope with that noise and hassle of it breaking down all day.
For me it was cheaper getting grabs and getting them to deliver recycled hardcore. £750 that machine is for a week. Still have to pay lads to feed the machine and pay them to move the hardcore
Hi, Lloyd is working for himself and doing some really interesting stuff here at home and further afield, Ed is working on one of his properties and will be back soon!!
I will do a calculation based on the man hours and plant hire, the cost of the removal of the material and also the cost to bring in new material. did you see the full video to the end?
The stuff that goes skips is vulgar. The carbon footprint thrown away in the name of ease ot cheapness. If you can educate and persuade a dozen people to change their ways then you've done your bit. A responsible contractor lighting the way - that'll be you then 🙏

A nice bit of kit Robin. Now as a bricklayer I know you would be shocked at the price of the bricks you have just crushed.
Ha ha was going to say the same thing. Probably could buy another car

Is this a suitable replacement for MOT1 for structures? Looks like it would be good for landscaping/patio work. What about driveways?
Yup, works
Great piece of kit but roughly how much is the hire charge??
Why is the most expensive man on site doing a labourers job? 😂
Because it’s a new toy…….! Go back next week and see when the novelty wears off.
Looks like hard work to me.
Just having a play ......we'd all do it! 😊
Because i can do everything mentality

How does cast compare with minimum wage labour cleaning all the bricks for a new construction using recycled?

I’m not convinced - I’d only consider this is the access for loading/unloading was more then say 100m which is unlikely on most residential projects.
Looked at similar on hire earlier in the year but as a homeowner DIY job they all seem to want insurance taken out on top 😟
So green! Is it solar-powered?
Not this one but you never know what with the speed of technology it will probably happen one day!!!
Loading with a little 1.5 tonne excavator with a thumb would save your back
Are some or most of the bricks not recyclable as a whole unit ?. Iam not speaking with any authority just a thought 👍
Quite often we will reclaim good clean bricks but these where not that type of brick that would be sought after so they are more valuable to us on site as crushed material
Just wonder how much is cost from hire this machine? To be honest, it works very slowly.
👍

That would have been 3 grab lorries? Plus cost of new hardcore. No lugging to the road. No brainer i think Robin. Was it dear to hire ?
I will find out what the cost for the hire was and come back to you at some point

They are like rocking horse shit to hire in a great deal of places, we've tried and ended up using the crusher bucket instead.
Good innovation but just not viable, cheaper to cart the crap away and have clean hardcore or MOT delivered.

I typically enjoy your videos when you are explaining how to build or construct something but lately it seems most of your videos are infomercials.
Look at his playlist, sort by most recent and tell me how many in the last ten could be called advertorial..
