When a crusher goes down, the ripple effects are felt across the entire operation. Whether you’re running a quarry, recycling yard, or aggregate plant, equipment downtime is one of the most expensive and disruptive
challenges you can face.
But what’s the real cost of downtime, and what can you do to prevent it?
The Hidden Price of a Silent Crusher
When your operation comes to a halt, you’re not just losing tons per hour. You’re also absorbing:
-
Labor Costs – Your crew is still on the clock, even if the machine isn’t.
-
Missed Production Goals – Lost hours today can set back delivery schedules, customer commitments, and profitability.
-
Emergency Repair Premiums – Last-minute fixes are often more expensive than planned maintenance.
-
Reputational Damage – Reliability matters. Chronic downtime can hurt customer confidence and contract renewal prospects.
-
Parts Delays – If a needed part isn’t in stock, you could be stuck for days waiting on delivery.
Even a few hours of unexpected downtime can translate to thousands—or tens of thousands—of dollars in losses.
