Red Rhino Mini Crushers beat off competition to supply machines for the Haiti disaster effort.

Wednesday 11th August 2010
Red Rhino is proud to be playing a major role in helping to re-build Haiti following a devastating earthquake that destroyed much of the country in January. Red Rhino has secured a contract to supply 24 machines to CHF International – a US-headquartered, non-profit aid organisation helping the country to recover and rebuild. Six months on, it is estimated that 98 per cent of the rubble left behind remains uncleared and Red Rhino’s mini crushers will be used to crush bricks and building materials so they can be used to rebuild Haiti’s schools, hospitals and homes.

Julian Mik (General Manager), said: “No one could have failed to be moved by the harrowing television pictures of the devastation the earthquake caused and the effect it had on the Haitian people and we are delighted that we can play a part in the recovery process. With up to 20 million cubic metres of rubble remaining on the ground in Haiti, there is a lot of work to be done. We estimate that our crushers alone will crush 100,000 cubic metres of material in six months, which shows the scale of the task at hand.”
Red Rhino beat off competition from the UK and Italy to supply CHF with 20 × 4000 series models and 4 × 5000 series models, the first 12 machines leaving the Grantham factory on Monday 16th August.

“New Split cowling for 4000 series machine.”

Since Red Rhino was relaunched, it has been requested by our customers to make the 4000 series easier to service and repair, and to do this it would be much easier with a split cowling. We are pleased to announce that it has now been done, and is available as standard on all new machines and as a spare part for all machines out in the field.
