Rubble Master Compact Crushers: The Urban Demolition Specialist
Rubble Master: Compact Crushing for Tight Spaces
Rubble Master (RM) is an Austrian manufacturer that specializes in compact mobile crushers designed for on-site recycling and urban demolition. Where a standard jaw crusher might weigh 100,000+ pounds, Rubble Master's compact impacts start at around 50,000 pounds — light enough to work in parking structures, basements, and other confined spaces.

Why Contractors Choose Rubble Master
- Compact footprint — RM crushers fit on a standard lowboy trailer without oversized permits. Setup time is under 15 minutes.
- Diesel-electric drive — All GO! models use diesel-electric hybrid power, cutting fuel consumption 30-40% compared to hydraulic-drive crushers.
- Low noise — Sound levels under 85 dB at the operator station. Critical for urban job sites near residential areas.
- One-person operation — Designed for a single operator with wireless remote control. No need for a separate loader operator on small jobs.
- Mesh screen integration — Built-in return screen recirculates oversize material without a separate screener.
Best Applications for Rubble Master
- Urban demolition — processing concrete and masonry on-site
- Parking structure demolition — compact enough to work inside
- Road construction — processing millings and concrete on the shoulder
- Small quarries and gravel pits — where a full-size crusher is overkill
- Landscape and utility contractors — processing rock from trenching and excavation
RM vs. Full-Size Crushers
Rubble Master crushers cost more per ton of throughput than full-size jaw or impact crushers. An RM100GO! producing 200 TPH costs $425,000+ new, while a McCloskey I44 producing 350 TPH costs $525,000+ new. The RM's advantage is mobility and versatility — it can work sites that a full-size crusher simply can't access.
For operators who primarily do urban demolition and small-to-medium recycling jobs, an RM is the right tool. For operators running 500+ TPH in quarry or large-scale crushing, a full-size machine is more cost-effective.
