Re-location
Re-location challenges can be a critical issue for quarries. As quarries develop and urban infrastructure expands, the need to move plants becomes inevitable. However, relocating these massive structures can be both costly and complex. Portable wheel-mounted equipment offers a solution by being easily transportable, enabling quarries to adapt to changing locations and project requirements with minimal hassle and expense. New business opportunities and crushing projects to work on can be conveniently taken over with re-locatable wheel-mounted equipment when the previous job is done.
Lead time
For quarry operators, the longer lead times associated with stationary plants can be a drawback. These large crushing projects providing rock-based material for example for infrastructure and construction works often require extensive time, resources, and planning, delaying the start of crushing operations and subsequent cash flow. On the other hand, portable equipment can be quickly deployed and set up without a need for heavy foundation, allowing quarries to commence operations sooner and start generating revenue without the prolonged wait.
Permitting
Permitting issues are often a significant hurdle for stationary plants. Obtaining and renewing environmental permits can be challenging and time-consuming. Portable equipment, however, often faces fewer permitting challenges, making it easier to comply with regulations and start operations quicker and with less trouble. This is particularly beneficial for quarries that need to maintain and renew their permits regularly to keep crushing.
