Choosing Wheeled Mobile, Track-Mounted or Stationary Plant

Wheeled mobile plants relocate between sites and set up quickly; track-mounted plants move themselves across rough quarry terrain; stationary plants deliver the lowest cost per ton in a long-life quarry. General Makina builds all three.

The right crushing plant type depends on your site's lifespan, how often you relocate, and terrain conditions. General Makina manufactures all three configurations - wheeled mobile, track-mounted (crawler) and stationary - so your investment can match your operating scenario. The comparison below is built to speed up your buying decision.

Criterion	Wheeled Mobile	Track-Mounted (Crawler)	Stationary
Mobility & relocation	Towed between sites via road	Repositions itself within the pit	Fixed, no relocation
Setup time	Quick setup	Very fast repositioning	Long install, permanent foundation
Terrain	Needs roads and level ground	Handles rough, uneven quarry floor	Prepared fixed site
Project duration / quarry life	Short-to-mid term, multi-site jobs	Frequent in-pit repositioning	Single long-life quarry
Cost per ton at scale	Moderate	Moderate	Lowest at high volume

If you frequently move between sites: choose a wheeled mobile plant.
If you reposition often on rough ground inside the pit: choose a track-mounted plant.
For a long-life fixed quarry: choose a stationary plant.

Wheeled mobile or track-mounted - which fits me?

Choose wheeled mobile if you transport the plant by road to different sites. Choose track-mounted if you rarely transport it but reposition often on rough ground inside a single pit.

When does a stationary plant make sense?

When you run high, continuous capacity in a single long-life quarry with a defined reserve, a stationary plant delivers the lowest cost per ton at scale.
