Rent a Concrete Crusher in Charleston, SC
Crush concrete on-site, not your budget.
Mobile jaw crushers for on-site concrete processing in Charleston: turn demolition rubble into reusable aggregate, eliminate tipping fees, and keep trucks off the road. We connect you with Evortle CT-535 and CT-850 crushers ready for delivery.
What Charleston contractors crush on-site.
Crush slabs, footings, and structural concrete from building teardowns directly on the demo site. Produce reusable aggregate without a single haul trip.
Process residential and commercial foundations after excavation. Jaw crushers handle rebar-reinforced concrete and reduce it to spec base material on-site.
Crush broken concrete from road, curb, and parking lot removal. Recycled aggregate goes right back under the new pour as compactable base.
Process heavy reinforced concrete from bridge deck and overpass demolition. The CT-850 handles large feed sizes and rebar without issue.
CMU block walls, brick structures, and masonry debris crush quickly into clean aggregate. Lower jaw pressure needed means faster throughput.
Natural rock, limestone, and stone from site excavation. Jaw crushers process virgin rock into spec material for fill, drainage, or road base.
Stop paying to haul rubble.
C&D tipping fees in South Carolina average $42.5 per ton. Every truck load of concrete you send to the landfill costs you twice: once for tipping, again for the truck and driver. On-site crushing eliminates both and produces reusable base aggregate worth approximately $12 per ton.
Hauling cost based on $4.50/loaded mile, round-trip. Replacement aggregate valued at $12/ton (typical recycled concrete base price). Estimate only: your final quote uses real Charleston-area rates and your project specifics.
per project, vs. hauling to the landfill
Crushed concrete produces reusable base aggregate (3/4" minus) worth approximately $12/ton. Material stays on your site or sells to neighboring projects.

The break-even point for on-site crushing in the Charleston market is lower than most contractors expect. At $42.50/ton tipping and a 25-mile haul to Bees Ferry Landfill, a project with 50 tons of concrete already saves money by crushing on-site. The savings scale linearly: 200 tons means roughly $10,750 saved versus hauling, even after the crusher rental cost.
The math is straightforward. Haul-out costs include tipping fees, round-trip trucking, driver time, and the replacement aggregate you need to buy to backfill. On-site crushing costs include the rental, fuel, and an operator. The rental is a fixed weekly cost. The haul-out costs multiply with every truck load.
Charleston contractors who run the numbers usually rent. The ones who process concrete regularly end up buying a crusher through our main site.
What jaw crushers process. What they don't.
Jaw crushers are built for hard, brittle materials: concrete, rock, brick, block. They are not designed for flexible or soft materials. Feeding the wrong material damages the jaw plates, voids your rental agreement, or both.
Can crush
Concrete, rock, brick, and block are what jaw crushers are engineered for. The CT-850 includes an integrated overband magnet for rebar separation. The CT-535 magnet is optional.
Can't crush
Asphalt requires an impact crusher, not a jaw crusher. Asphalt is flexible and gums up jaw plates instead of fracturing cleanly. If you have asphalt, ask us about impact crusher options.

Why Charleston crushes more concrete than ever.
Charleston's Charleston County issues demolition permits year-round. Between redevelopment in the Downtown/Peninsula area, steady tear-and-rebuild activity near West Ashley, and commercial site work across the metro, concrete demolition debris piles up fast. A portable jaw crusher on your demo site turns that pile into reusable base material: no haul trips, no tipping fees, no waiting for a landfill slot.
We connect Charleston contractors with Evortle CT-535 and CT-850 jaw crushers delivered directly to the jobsite. The compact CT-535 fits through residential gates and handles single-lot teardowns. The CT-850 runs full production on commercial demo sites across Charleston County. Both produce spec aggregate you can use on your own project or sell to the site next door.
Charleston's 2.2% growth rate places it among the Southeast's hottest construction markets, with Boeing, Volvo, and port expansion anchoring industrial demand in Charleston County. Residential construction in Mount Pleasant, Summerville, and Johns Island adds thousands of new units annually. Downtown historic preservation and adaptive reuse projects require specialized demolition and material-processing equipment.
Contractors working across Charleston's Downtown/Peninsula, West Ashley, and Mount Pleasant areas need reliable equipment access. Having a concrete crusher delivered to your jobsite saves the round-trip haul to the nearest disposal facility every day you are on the job.
The nearest quarry is Martin Marietta - Jamestown (30 miles). The closest C&D recycling facility is Charleston County Recycling Center. Crushing on-site means you do not need either one: your demolition concrete becomes your base aggregate, right where you need it.
Coastal subtropical climate. Flooding and hurricane risk. King tide flooding affects downtown construction schedules.
Charleston's active construction market drives demand for demolition debris processing and concrete recycling. Current and recent projects include:
- Boeing South Carolina 787 Dreamliner production campus expansion in North Charleston, with industrial building construction and site preparation.
- Volvo Cars manufacturing facility expansion in Berkeley County, requiring site clearing, grading, and industrial construction.
- Downtown Charleston historic district adaptive reuse projects, with careful demolition of non-historic additions and foundation work in sandy coastal soil.
Charleston's equipment rental demand is driven by manufacturing expansion (Boeing and Volvo), military construction at Joint Base Charleston, and the residential boom across the tri-county area. The lowcountry's sandy soil and high water table mean screening equipment is essential for producing clean fill. Historic district renovation and adaptive-reuse projects create specialized demolition and material-processing demand.
The nearest C&D landfill to most Charleston jobsites is Bees Ferry Landfill, roughly 25 miles away. Tipping fees run $42.50 per ton. A 20-ton truck load costs you $42.5 x 20 = $850 in tipping alone, plus $225 in trucking at $4.50 per loaded mile round-trip. Ten truck loads: $10,750 hauling rubble that could have been base material.
An on-site jaw crusher eliminates every one of those costs. The crushed concrete produces 3/4-inch minus aggregate worth roughly $12 per ton. On a 200-ton job, that is $2,400 in recovered material value on top of the hauling costs you did not spend.
South Carolina's mild climate keeps demo crews working twelve months a year. No weather downtime on crushing.
Highest demand for crushers. Book 2-3 weeks ahead during peak to secure your dates.
Brief rain delays possible. Crushing resumes immediately after storms pass: no permit implications like burning.

Standard delivery timelines apply, though contractors should coordinate scheduling in advance during peak construction season to secure preferred delivery windows.
Concrete crusher rental FAQ: Charleston.
Concrete crusher rental pricing in Charleston depends on the model and rental duration. The compact CT-535 fits residential demo jobs. The production CT-850 handles commercial-scale work. Contact us at 770-433-2670 for a quote based on your Charleston County project.
The CT-850 includes a standard integrated overband magnet that automatically separates steel rebar from crushed aggregate. The CT-535 offers the magnet as an option. Rebar collects in a pile for scrap recycling. You do not need to cut rebar out of the concrete before feeding it into the crusher.
Yes. Jaw crushers handle concrete block, brick, and masonry along with poured concrete. These materials crush faster than reinforced structural concrete because they have no rebar. The output is clean aggregate suitable for fill and base material.
The CT-535 needs a flat pad roughly 30x50 feet for the machine, feed stockpile, and output conveyor. The CT-850 needs about 40x80 feet. You also need room for a loader or excavator to feed the crusher. We can help you plan the site layout before delivery.
The CT-535 weighs 14,330 lbs with a 20x14-inch jaw opening and processes 15-30 tons per hour. It handles residential and light commercial work. The CT-850 weighs 52,910 lbs with a 32x20-inch jaw opening and processes 65-130 tons per hour. The 850 accepts larger feed sizes and includes an integrated overband magnet standard.
Yes. We coordinate delivery and pickup to jobsites throughout Charleston, Charleston County, and neighboring communities. The CT-535 ships on a standard tag-along trailer. The CT-850 requires a lowboy. Most Charleston-area deliveries happen within 24-48 hours of quote approval.
The CT-535 processes 15-30 tons per hour depending on product size. The CT-850 handles 65-130 tons per hour. Actual throughput depends on feed material, rebar density, and desired output size. Output is adjustable from 0.8-inch to 4-inch CSS.
