What Is the EZG Hog Crusher?
The EZG Hog Crusher, by EZG Manufacturing, is a skid-steer (or compact track loader) attachment that crushes demolition debris into two-inch or smaller aggregate—right where it’s generated. Designed to mount via a universal quick-attach plate and powered by the skid-steer’s hydraulic system, it efficiently converts waste into usable material
This compact crusher is engineered with a 24" rotor, a ½-yard hopper, and the ability to crush up to 10 tons per hour. With replaceable, rugged wear parts, it’s built for durability and easy jobsite maintenance
