What Is a Track-type Mobile Crusher?

A Track-type Mobile Crusher is a strong, self-moving crushing machine on hydraulic tracks (like tank treads), which can easily travel over rough, hilly, or muddy land. Unlike regular fixed crusher, this machine brings the crushing process directly to your materials. You can use it anywhere—mining sites, quarries, demolition areas, or recycling centers—with little setup and no need for concrete bases.

Key features include:

  • Built-in systems for feeding, crushing, screening, and moving materials
  • Works well with rocks, ore, construction debris, and recycled waste
  • Fast setup, simple one-button control, and remote movement
  • Modular design lets you link several crusher for big projects.

Essential Structural Components

Receiving System

Before crushing begins, material is loaded into hoppers and bins, ensuring stable, uninterrupted feeding.

  • Reduces blockages during operations
  • Guarantees smooth material flow​

Feeding System

Tracks or vibrating feeders transport material from hoppers into the crusher.

  • Uniform, adjustable feeding maximizes efficiency
  • Supports a mix of rock types and sizes​

Crushing System

The heart of the Track-type Mobile Crusher, where material is broken into usable sizes.

Screening and Separation

Screens and conveyors sort crushed products, remove iron or contaminants, and transport final aggregates.​

Unmatched Mobility and On-site Efficiency

You know what’s great? Watching your machine move over a muddy hill or rocky ground to crush material exactly where you want it. That’s exactly what a crawler crusher does:

  • Fast moving from one site to another with a trailer
  • No need for ingress roads or support trucks
  • Accurate placement thanks to tracks
  • Can work on soft, uneven, or steep land

Personal note: Quick setup means you can start or finish work sooner—especially helpful in mining, remote quarries, or disaster zones.


Flexible Applications

Mining & Mineral Processing

  • Crushes ore in the first and second stages (including iron, copper, and gold)
  • Works well in tough conditions and with hard materials

Aggregate Production & Construction

  • Crushes large amounts of concrete, asphalt, and road base materials
  • Helps clean up sites and turn old materials into new, usable stone

Waste Management & Demolition Recycling

  • Breaks down construction waste and separates reusable parts
  • Lowers landfill costs and helps recover more materials for reuse.

Operating Principles and Workflow

Imagine this:
You transport your tracked crusher to a rocky mine or demolition site.

  • Load raw material into the receiving hopper, which then feeds the crusher.
  • The integrated system breaks, screens, and sorts material in one continuous action.
  • Output gets conveyed directly to where you need it—stockpiles, trucks, or even another processing stage.

Workflow Chart:

  • 1. Site Arrival
  • 2. Load Material (hopper)
  • 3. Automatic Feeding
  • 4. Crushing (Jaw/Cone/Impact, as needed)
  • 5. Screening & Sorting
  • 6. Stockpiling or further processing

User Experience and Maintenance

Operators like the easy controls—starting and stopping with one touch, checking the machine from a distance, and self-checking for problems. If something goes wrong, the machine warns you right away (thanks to smart control systems). For repairs, all main parts—inlet, crusher, belts—are easy to reach, making regular upkeep and fixes very simple.

SBM also offers spare parts worldwide and remote service teams—keeping your machine running is their top priority.


Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What’s the difference between track-type and wheel-type mobile crushers?
A: Track-type models excel in rough, muddy, or remote sites, with rapid setup and strong performance on tough ground—ideal for mining/quarrying. Wheel-type units transport easily on public roads, suited for urban jobs or routine site moves.​

Q: Can I combine these crushers for large projects?
A: Absolutely! Modular design lets you link several mobile crushers, or integrate with fixed/pre-existing equipment, building robust, continuous processing lines for mining or aggregate production.​
