In mining, construction waste processing, and road construction, wheeled mobile crushing plants have become a cornerstone of modern material crushing solutions due to their exceptional flexibility and efficient operation. As a mobile crushing equipment manufacturer with 20 years of experience in the industry, we deeply understand our customers' comprehensive needs for equipment performance, adaptability, and cost-effectiveness. This article will systematically review the main types of wheeled mobile crushing plants based on our years of R&D and market experience, helping you make a more informed choice.
Detailed Explanation of the Main Types of Wheeled Mobile Crushing Plants
The classification of wheeled mobile crushing plants is primarily based on the different main crushing equipment they are equipped with, thus making them suitable for different material hardness, feed size, and finished product requirements. Below are the most common types on the market:

Mobile jaw crushing plant
1. Wheeled Jaw Crusher Mobile Crushing Plant
This is the most common and widely used type. The core is the use of a jaw crusher as the main machine.
- Working Principle: Crushes materials through the periodic squeezing motion between the movable jaw and the fixed jaw.
- Core Advantages: Robust structure, strong processing capacity, especially suitable as a primary crushing (coarse crushing) equipment for processing large, high-hardness materials such as granite, basalt, and river pebbles.
- Applicable Scenarios: Primary crushing in mining and large-scale stone quarries, crushing of large concrete blocks in construction waste.

Mobile cone crushing plant
2. Wheeled Cone Crusher Mobile Crushing Plant
The core of this type of plant is the cone crusher.
- Working Principle: Achieves layered crushing of materials through the gyratory motion of the movable cone within the fixed cone.
- Core Advantages: High crushing efficiency, excellent product particle shape (mostly cubic), long wear part life, and relatively stable operation. Suitable for secondary and tertiary crushing.
- Applicable Scenarios: Secondary or tertiary crushing of medium-hard and high-hardness materials requiring high-quality finished product particle shape, such as high-grade building aggregate production and preparation work before grinding.
Mobile impact crushing plant
3. Wheeled Impact Crusher Mobile Crushing Plant
The core equipment is the impact crusher.
- Working Principle: Utilizes a high-speed rotating rotor to impact the material, causing the material to collide with the impact plate and be crushed. - Core Advantages: High crushing ratio, good product particle shape, easily adjustable discharge particle size, and relatively compact equipment size.
- Applicable Scenarios: Crushing of materials with medium and lower hardness, such as limestone, dolomite, construction waste concrete, bricks and tiles. Particularly suitable for the resource utilization of construction waste and building materials production.
Wheel-Mounted Vertical Shaft Sand Crusher
4. Wheeled Impact Crusher (Sand Making Machine) Mobile Crushing Plant
Also known as a mobile sand making plant, its core is the vertical shaft impact crusher (VSI).
- Working Principle: It uses the stone-on-stone or stone-on-iron principle, achieving crushing and shaping through the impact between materials or between materials and wear-resistant parts.
- Core Advantages: It is a professional artificial sand making and aggregate shaping equipment. The finished sand particles are round, the gradation is adjustable, and the fineness modulus is easy to control.
- Applicable Scenarios: High-quality manufactured sand production, aggregate shaping, and preparation of high-grade highway pavement materials.
5. Wheeled Mobile Screening Plant
Although named a screening plant, it is an indispensable component of a mobile crushing production line and is often used in conjunction with the above-mentioned crushing plants.
- Core Function: Classifies and screens materials before or after crushing, achieving material classification and cyclic crushing.
- Core Advantages: Improves the overall production line efficiency, ensures qualified finished product particle size, and achieves closed-loop circulation.
How to Choose the Right Type for You? 20 Years of Experience
Choosing the right type of wheeled mobile crushing plant is not simply following trends, but should be based on a scientific assessment:
1. Material characteristics are fundamental: First, analyze the hardness, abrasiveness, humidity, maximum feed size, and the required final product particle size and shape of the material.
2. Operating conditions are key: Consider the size of the construction site, the frequency of relocation, the terrain conditions, and environmental requirements (such as noise and dust).
3. Production capacity requirements are the goal: Clearly define your hourly or annual production target to ensure that the selected equipment model matches it. 4. Investment and Operating Costs: Consider comprehensively the equipment procurement costs, fuel (or electricity) consumption, wear part replacement cycles, and overall maintenance costs.
