Working closely with the best original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) enables us to bring to market the very best machines possible. One of the most important elements of the CR300 Crusher is its powerful Vanguard 400 14HP engine. We have collaborated with Briggs & Stratton to ensure the engine works perfectly with all the other machine elements, to not only get the best performance from the engine, but the best overall machine performance.

The CR300 Crusher is designed with the hire market in mind, helping to empower end users to take control of reducing, reusing and recycling the waste they produce. Research tell us that one of the main problems hire companies have when hiring out machines is oil/fuel dilution during transport. The Vanguard 400 engine features Vanguard’s patented TransportGuard™ system, which simultaneously shuts-off fuel/ignition to protect the engine from such dilution during transport.

One thing that can’t be avoided when crushing concrete is a certain amount of dust! Thankfully, the Vanguard 400 features a fully cyclonic air filtration with Nano Filter Media and Autoshed Technology which provides a 600-hour replacement interval - double the industry standard. It also features an advanced oil management system which allows the engine to run efficiently for up to 200 hours between oil changes thereby substantially reducing the equipment’s total cost of ownership.

In the hire industry easy maintenance and servicing is critical. A recent research study in the UK hire industry revealed that easy maintenance was ranked 2nd as the most vital characteristic for engines in the hire fleet. The new Vanguard engine offers several new features which make the engine easier to maintain including a high mount oil fill on the rocker cover and an automotive style dipstick as standard. Another standard feature is the built-in oil sensor which protects the engine from low oil level conditions.

The engine also offers several features that will ensure you can continue with the job, no matter the weather, terrain or conditions; the engine is optimised to start in temperatures as low as -29°c.

All these features help to make the CR300 Crusher the powerful concrete crushing machine that it is.
