By Kevin Chen, Global Sales Manager at YZH MachineryLast month I watched a mining crew try to clear a massive jam in their primary crusher. Three guys with pry bars, working in shifts for hours. Dangerous as hell and completely unnecessary.That's exactly why pedestal breaker boom systems exist. But

A blocked primary crusher isn't just an inconvenience; it's a direct hit to your productivity, a risk to your team's safety, and a major cause of operational downtime. The most effective solution is a robust, reliable rockbreaker boom system, but selecting the right one can be complex. How do you en

Let me tell you about the installation from hell. Three years ago, copper mine in Chile. Everything that could go wrong, did. Underground water line nobody knew about. Crane got stuck in mud. Concrete pour happened during a surprise rainstorm. What should have been a two-week job stretched to six we

Twenty-three years in the heavy machinery business teaches you a few things. The biggest lesson? Most mining operations are still clearing crusher jams the hard way – and it's costing them big time.I've walked through countless quarries and mines where crews are still climbing into crushers with sle

Mining operations have been dealing with crusher jams the same way for decades – and frankly, it's been a mess. Workers climbing into crushers with sledgehammers, waiting hours for mobile equipment, shutting down production every time a rock gets stuck. It's expensive, dangerous, and completely unne

We are proud to announce our participation in the 11th International Mining, Natural Resources and Technologies Expo (MINEX 2025), taking place from September 3–6, 2025, at Fuarizmir, Izmir, Türkiye. We warmly welcome you to Hall B, Booth B119.

Pedestal rock breaker boom system is used in both underground and surface mining operations to manage oversize material and ensure uninterrupted material flow. While both underground and surface pedestal rock breaker boom system performs the same core task—breaking oversized rock to ensure material flow—they must be tailored to dramatically different environments.

Stationary rock breaker boom system is used in a wide range of environments—from hot desert quarries to sub-zero open-pit mines. Extreme temperatures can affect hydraulic performance, component wear, and overall system reliability. Adapting your operation to the season ensures safe, efficient, and uninterrupted performance year-round.

While a pedestal rock breaker boom system may seem like a significant upfront cost, its value becomes evident when viewed through the lens of productivity, safety, and equipment longevity. In many operations, the system pays for itself in less than a year—after that, it becomes pure profit protection.
