Construction and demolition sites generate massive amounts of concrete and rock waste daily, making transportation and landfill fees a heavy burden for project owners. However, an excavator crusher attachment offers a cost-effective solution by turning waste material into reusable aggregate directly on site.
Designed to replace standard buckets, an excavator crusher attachment mounts seamlessly onto the excavator arm. It utilizes a powerful jaw crushing mechanism to break down concrete, brick, and hard rock into precise, graded aggregate. As a result, demolition contractors, road builders, and quarry operators can significantly cut transport costs, reduce landfill tipping fees, and boost project efficiency.
As a leading jaw crusher bucket factory, YG Machinery produces eight durable crusher bucket models tailored for excavators from 8 to over 75 tons.

How Does an Excavator Crusher Attachment Work?
Jaw Crushing Mechanism
The crusher bucket uses a fixed jaw and a moving jaw to crush material between them.
- The moving jaw swings back and forth, compressing material against the fixed jaw plate.
- Material enters from the top opening and exits through the adjustable gap at the bottom.
- The output size can be adjusted by changing the gap between the two jaw plates.
- Hydraulic power from the excavator drives the crushing mechanism smoothly and quietly.
Direct Mount to Excavator Arm
The crusher bucket replaces the standard digging bucket on any compatible excavator.
- It mounts using the same pin connections as a regular bucket or quick coupler.
- Hydraulic hoses connect to the excavator auxiliary circuit for power supply.
- The operator controls crushing from the cabin using a foot pedal or lever switch.
- Most modern excavators already have the required auxiliary hydraulic connections.
Adjustable Output Size
One key advantage is the ability to control the finished aggregate size on site.
- The discharge gap adjusts to produce material from 15mm up to 200mm depending on model.
- Smaller output sizes work well for backfill, road base, and concrete production.
- Larger sizes are suitable for drainage layers and general fill applications.
- This flexibility means one bucket can serve multiple needs on the same project.
Key Benefits of Our Excavator Crusher Attachment
On-Site Recycling Saves Money
Crushing waste on site eliminates the cost of hauling debris to landfill sites.
- You avoid paying landfill tipping fees for construction and demolition waste.
- Recycled aggregate replaces purchased material for backfill and road base needs.
- Fewer truck trips reduce fuel costs and road wear on local streets.
- A portable crusher bucket for excavator can move between job sites easily.
Eight Models for Every Excavator Size
YG offers the widest range of crusher buckets to match any excavator weight class.
- YG-1 fits mini excavators from 8 to 12 tons for small demolition and landscaping work.
- Mid-range models YG-2 through YG-6 cover 14 to 50 ton general construction machines.
- Large YG-7 and YG-8 serve heavy quarry excavators of 50 tons and above.
- Each model is weight-balanced for safe, stable operation on its matching excavator.
Durable Build for Continuous Use
These crusher buckets are built to handle heavy impact and abrasive rock material.
- Jaw plates are made from high-manganese steel for maximum wear resistance.

- Proper maintenance extends service life to many thousands of operating hours.
Where to Use a Bucket Crusher for Excavator
Building Demolition Sites
Demolition projects produce large volumes of concrete and brick waste every day.
- The crusher bucket processes demolished concrete into reusable aggregate on site.
- Reinforced concrete can be crushed, with rebar separated for scrap recycling.
- Crushed material goes directly into new construction work as fill or road base.
- Urban demolition sites benefit most from reduced truck traffic and noise levels.
Road Construction and Repair
Road building and maintenance crews use crusher buckets for on-site material processing.
- Old road surface concrete and asphalt can be crushed and reused as base material.
- Trench backfill can be produced from excavated rock and concrete on the job site.
- Remote road projects save significant transport costs by crushing material locally.
- Smaller models fit on medium excavators used for local road maintenance work.
Quarry and Mining Operations
Quarries and mines use larger crusher buckets for primary rock reduction tasks.
- Oversized boulders can be reduced to moveable sizes right at the quarry face.
- Low-grade ore can be crushed on site before transport to the processing plant.
- The bucket crusher handles granite, limestone, basalt, and other hard rock types.
- Mobile crushing reduces the need for fixed primary crusher installations.
Choosing the Right Jaw Crusher Bucket Factory Model
Selecting the correct crusher bucket size ensures optimal performance and cost value.
Match to Your Excavator Weight
The most important factor is matching the bucket to your excavator weight class.
- A bucket that is too heavy will reduce excavator stability and lift capacity.
- An undersized bucket will not process enough material to meet your production needs.
- YG models cover excavators from 8 tons to over 75 tons across eight model sizes.
- Our team reviews your machine specs and hydraulic compatibility before you order.
Consider Your Material and Output Needs
The type of material and required output size help determine which model works best.
- Hard rock requires a heavier, more robust bucket than soft concrete recycling.
- Finer output sizes reduce production speed but produce higher-value aggregate.
- Calculate your expected daily volume to choose an appropriate capacity model.
- Our team helps you compare production rates for different material hardness levels.
Evaluate Total Cost of Ownership
Beyond purchase price, consider maintenance, wear parts, and support quality.
- Jaw plate replacement is the main ongoing cost for crusher bucket operation.
- Higher quality jaw plates last longer and reduce your per-ton processing cost.
- A reliable manufacturer provides genuine spare parts at fair prices.
- Proper operator training also extends bucket life and improves production rates.
How an Excavator Crusher Attachment Cuts Construction Waste Costs
Construction waste represents a major expense for most building and demolition projects. A jaw crusher bucket factory attachment turns this cost center into a source of value and savings.
Cutting Landfill and Transport Expenses
Hauling waste to landfills is one of the largest cost items on any demolition project.
- Landfill tipping fees continue to rise in most regions around the world.
- Each truck trip to the landfill adds fuel, labor, and vehicle maintenance costs.
- On-site crushing reduces waste volume by up to 60 to 70 percent in most cases.
- Less material leaving the site means fewer trucks and lower hauling expenses.
- Some projects cut total waste disposal costs by 50 percent or more with a crusher bucket.
Generating Reusable Aggregate On Site
Crushed concrete and rock replace purchased aggregate for many construction uses.
- Recycled aggregate works well for backfill, road base, and drainage layers.
- You avoid the cost of buying and transporting new aggregate to the job site.
- On-site production eliminates delivery lead times and scheduling delays.
- The adjustable output size lets you produce exactly the material grade you need.
- Many contractors sell excess aggregate to nearby projects for additional revenue.
Improving Overall Project Efficiency
Crusher buckets streamline site operations in ways that save time and labor costs.
- Material handling becomes a one-step process with a single excavator attachment.
- Workers spend less time sorting and loading waste trucks manually.
- Site congestion decreases because fewer trucks enter and leave the work area.
- Urban projects benefit from reduced noise, dust, and street disruption levels.
- Faster site cleanup reduces overall project timelines and overhead expenses.
FAQ About YG Hot Sale Excavator Crusher Attachment
A1: The required excavator size depends on the crusher bucket model and its weight. Our smallest YG-1 fits 8 to 12 ton mini excavators for light work. Mid-range YG-3 needs a 20 to 25 ton machine for balanced operation. Our largest YG-8 requires a 75 ton or larger excavator for heavy quarry use.
A2: Crusher buckets handle most types of concrete, rock, brick, and masonry materials. They process reinforced concrete by crushing it and leaving rebar pieces intact. Hard rock like granite and basalt can be crushed with appropriate model selection. The bucket can also process asphalt, tile, and other construction demolition waste. Soft materials like wood or plastic should be removed before crushing.
A3: Yes, the output size is adjustable by changing the gap at the bottom discharge opening. Smaller models adjust from 15 to 60 or 130 millimeters depending on size. Larger models can produce output from 40 to 200 millimeters in size. Adjustment takes about 30 minutes using the tools provided with the bucket.
