EZG Hog Crusher: Revolutionizing On-Site Material Recycling

For contractors and site managers focused on efficiency, sustainability, and cost savings, the EZG Hog Crusher delivers game-changing value. As a compact, skid-steer-mounted concrete crusher, it transforms waste concrete, brick, asphalt, and block into reusable base material within seconds—slashing disposal costs and minimizing environmental impact.

In this complete guide, you'll explore how the Hog Crusher works, its core specs, real-world applications, and why it’s becoming an essential attachment in 2025 jobsite fleets.

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

Key Features That Set It Apart

🔁 High Capacity, Compact Footprint

• 24″ crushing rotor handles block, brick, concrete slabs, and asphalt.

• Large ½‑yard hopper allows sustained work without constant refilling

🛠️ Built for Real Jobs

• Heavy plate-reinforced steel frame resists wear.

• Replaceable Tri‑Braze carbide teeth, breaker, cheeck, and cleaner plates—ideal for rugged, daily use 

🚜 Simple to Use

• Universal skid-steer mount plus forklift pockets make transport and setup quick.

• One hydraulic circuit—no separate engine or fuel needed

♻️ Huge Cost & Waste Savings

• Crushes material into backfill-grade aggregate, reducing dumpster fees, hauling, and landfill strain. Contractors report up to 75% savings 

⚡ Strong Productivity

• Crushes up to 10 tons/hour, keeping pace with typical loader cycles 

Ideal Jobsite Applications

🏚️ Demolition & Cleanup

Instead of hauling away tear-out debris, crush it on-site and reuse it as base material under slab sections or landscaping features.

🚧 Road & Pavement Repairs

Pulverize asphalt patches and driveways to reuse as drive base—no additional gravel trips needed.

🚜 Utility Trenches & Backfill

Return crushed concrete into trenches as structural fill, reducing load time and costs.

🏠 Residential & Hardscape Work

Convert patio tear-outs and old concrete driveways into usable backfill for pavers or gravel.

🌍 Environmentally Responsible Jobs

Lower waste transport, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and support greener, more sustainable operations.

How It Works—Operator Workflow

1. Attach the Hog Crusher via quick-attach.

2. Hook up skid-steer hydraulics with included hoses.

3. Power on unit and test rotor engagement before crushing.

4. Load demolition debris into the hopper.

5. Crush while moving forward—rotor shreds material into ≤2″ aggregate.

6. Use crushed material as backfill or haul minimal waste off-site.

With intuitive operation and fast setup, crews become productive within minutes 

Safety & Maintenance Best Practices

• Inspect hydraulic lines and hoses daily.

• Clear hoses and rotor intake before starting.

• Wear PPE: gloves, steel toes, eye protection, and respirators.

• Replace wear parts—carbide tips and breaker plates—when needed.

• Flush gearbox oil every 1,000 operating hours.

• Park on level ground, cover, and grease pivots after each day.

Minimal maintenance ensures the dismantling powerhouse stays operational for years.

Customer Feedback & Real-World Results

• “Paid for itself in under two months—no more dumpster rentals on site.”—Ohio contractor 

• “Ten years in the field shows…it just keeps crushing.” — Preci Cruz, World of Concrete user
