Lippmann-Milwaukee has been manufacturing crushing equipment in Milwaukee, Wisconsin since 1923 — making them one of the oldest crusher manufacturers in North America. Their jaw crushers are known for being overbuilt, with heavier frames and larger bearings than competitors at similar jaw openings.
| Model | Jaw Opening | Weight | Capacity (TPH) | New Price Est. | Used Price Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2436 | 24" x 36" | ~30,000 lbs | 50 – 150 | $150,000 – $250,000 | $50,000 – $150,000 |
| 3048J | 30" x 48" | ~55,000 lbs | 100 – 300 | $300,000 – $450,000 | $150,000 – $300,000 |
| 3650 | 36" x 50" | ~75,000 lbs | 150 – 400 | $400,000 – $550,000 | $200,000 – $400,000 |
| 4248 | 42" x 48" | ~95,000 lbs | 200 – 500 | $500,000 – $700,000 | $275,000 – $500,000 |
Lippmann jaw crushers are heavier and more expensive per ton of capacity than brands like McCloskey or IROCK. The tradeoff is longevity — Lippmann crushers routinely operate 15,000-20,000+ hours with proper maintenance, compared to 8,000-12,000 hours for lighter-built competitors. For quarry operators running 2,000+ hours per year, the higher upfront cost is justified by lower cost-per-ton over the machine's life.
For contract crushers who move frequently, the extra weight is a consideration — transport costs are higher, and setup takes longer.
Lippmann offers their jaw crushers on portable wheeled chassis or as stationary units. Popular configurations include:
