A tracked crusher is a mobile stone crusher plant mounted on crawler tracks. This mobile crusher machine moves easily on rough terrain, steep slopes, and muddy ground. It crushes rocks, concrete waste, and construction debris right where you need the material. For mining sites, quarry operations, and demolition projects, this tracked mobile crusher eliminates the cost of hauling material to a fixed plant.
YG Machinery offers mobile crushers with capacities from 30 to 180 tons per hour. Choose from diesel or electric power. Each mobile crushing plant is designed for quick setup and reliable operation.

Tracked Crusher vs Wheeled Crusher
Choosing between a mobile stone crusher and a wheeled crusher depends on your job site conditions.
| Feature | Tracked Crusher | Wheeled Crusher |
| Terrain | Rough, muddy, steep slopes | Paved roads, flat ground |
| Mobility | Self-propelled, moves while crushing | Requires towing |
| Setup time | Ready in minutes | Requires level ground and setup |
| Best for | Quarries, mines, demolition sites | Highway projects, urban sites |
| Stability | Excellent on uneven ground | Good on flat ground |
A tracked mobile crusher is the better choice for remote sites, mountain quarries, and demolition projects where ground conditions are unpredictable. The tracks provide grip and stability that wheels cannot match.
For highway projects on paved roads, a wheeled crusher for highway projects may be more cost-effective.
Tracked Undercarriage Advantage
The tracked undercarriage gives this mobile stone crusher plant unique capabilities.
Works on rough terrain – Crawler tracks distribute weight evenly. The machine does not sink into soft ground. It climbs slopes that would stop a wheeled unit.
Self-propelled movement – One operator moves the crusher from the cab. No need for a separate towing vehicle. Repositioning takes minutes.
Crush while moving – Some models allow crushing during slow movement. This is useful for long work faces in quarries or along road construction sites.
Stable crushing platform – Tracks absorb vibration. The crusher stays steady even when processing large rocks. This protects internal components and extends service life.
No road permits needed – Tracked units are not highway legal. But they do not need special permits for moving around a job site. Load on a lowboy trailer for transport between sites.
This tracked crusher for sale is built for tough conditions where wheeled units cannot go.
Working Process of Mobile Stone Crusher Plant
The mobile stone crusher plant follows a simple workflow:
Step 1: Feeding – A wheel loader or excavator dumps raw material into the vibrating hopper. The feeder controls the flow rate to prevent overloading.
Step 2: Primary crushing – Large rocks enter the crusher chamber. The moving jaw or hammerhead breaks material down to smaller sizes.
Step 3: Screening – A vibrating screen separates material by size. Properly sized material moves to the discharge conveyor. Oversize material goes back for another pass.
Step 4: Secondary crushing (optional) – For finer products, material moves to a secondary crusher or impact crusher.
Step 5: Discharge – Finished aggregate falls onto the discharge conveyor. Trucks or stockpiles receive the material.
Step 6: Relocation – When the work face moves, the operator drives the tracked crusher to the new location.
This portable crusher machine processes material on site. No trucks hauling rocks to a distant plant. No waiting for material to return.
Applications of Mobile Crusher Machine
This mobile crusher machine serves many industries:
Mining – Crush ore at the extraction point. Reduce truck trips from the mine face to the primary crusher. Lower fuel costs and road maintenance.
Quarrying – Produce aggregate for commercial sale. Move the crusher as the quarry face expands. No fixed foundation needed.
Construction waste recycling – Crush concrete, brick, and asphalt from demolition sites. Produce reusable aggregate for new construction. Save landfill fees.
Road and bridge construction – Produce base material, sub-base, and drainage stone on site. Eliminate hauling from distant pits.
Railway ballast production – Produce graded stone for railway beds. The tracked crusher moves along the rail corridor.
River gravel crushing – Process river stone into construction sand. Work directly at the river source.
For dust control at the crushing site, a fog cannon machine keeps the air clean.
How to Choose the Right Tracked Crusher
Selecting the right mobile crusher depends on your material and production needs.
| Your need | Recommended model | Why |
| Small demolition job, 30-50t/h | 800×800 or 800×1000 | Compact size, lower cost |
| Medium quarry, 50-80t/h | 1000×1200 | Good balance of power and portability |
| Large quarry, 80-120t/h | 1200×1200 or 1200×1500 | Higher output, larger feed opening |
| High production, 120-180t/h | 1400×1600 | Maximum capacity for commercial crushing |
| Hard rock like granite | Larger models with higher horsepower | More crushing force needed |
| Concrete recycling | Any model with magnet separator | Remove rebar from crushed material |

Customer Case – Canada
A quarry operator in British Columbia, Canada, needed to produce 100 tons per hour of 3/4 inch aggregate for road construction projects. The quarry was in a mountain area with steep slopes and limited space for a fixed crushing plant.
They bought a YG mobile crusher model 1200×1200 with diesel power. The machine moved along the quarry face as extraction progressed. The operator crushed rock directly at the source.
Results:
- Production: 90-110 tons per hour consistently
- Hauling cost reduced by 60% (no trucks to a fixed plant)
- Set up time at new location: 15 minutes
- The machine worked through winter temperatures of -20°C
The quarry owner said: “The tracked crusher lets us crush right where we blast. We saved $200,000 in trucking costs in the first year alone. The machine starts in cold weather without problems.”
For placing crushed concrete on site, a small concrete pump moves material efficiently.
FAQs
Q: What is the difference between a mobile crusher and a wheeled crusher?
A: A mobile stone crusher moves on crawler tracks. It works on rough, muddy, or steep ground. It is self-propelled. A wheeled crusher needs towing and works best on flat, paved surfaces.
Q: Can this mobile stone crusher plant crush concrete with rebar?
A: Yes. We recommend adding a magnetic separator to pull out steel rebar after crushing. The magnet mounts above the discharge conveyor.
Q: What is the maximum feed size?
A: The maximum feed size depends on the model. The 800×800 model accepts up to 200mm rock. The 1400×1600 model accepts up to 400mm rock.
Q: How long does setup take at a new site?
A: Setup takes 15-30 minutes. Lower the stabilizer legs, connect power or fuel, and start feeding. No foundation or concrete pad needed.
Q: How often do hammerheads need replacement?
A: Hammerhead life depends on material hardness. For limestone, hammerheads may last 200-300 hours. For granite, 100-150 hours. We stock spare parts for fast shipping.
YG Machinery has been making mobile crushers for many years. We test each mobile crusher machine before shipping. The tracks are checked for tension. The crusher chamber is tested with material. Spare parts are kept in stock. Contact us for a quote on a mobile stone crusher for your project.
