From now on you find a Rockster crusher also in the Netherlands

Deal is deal“ – that’s the motto of the new Rockster customer Bert van den Brink, owner of the company Grondverzetbedrijf Bert van den Brink. He appreciates the hands-on mentality of his long-time business partner and new Dutch Rockster dealer Gerrit Ophof of Ophof Recycling bv and of the team of Rockster. In May this year, the entrepreneur finally decided to invest in a Rockster R1100DS impact crusher.

The first Rockster crusher in Holland

Van den Brink and his 4-member team are specialized in earthmoving, demolition, paving and much more, and have many years of experience in mobile crushing. His aim when buying a new machine was a 100% increase of the production volume. This objective was reached by the R1100DS and even exceeded. Van den Brink and Ophof got convinced by live demonstrations in Austria, visiting some existing Rockster customers. "Bert and I have a longstanding customer relationship based on trust. He is open for new ideas and has an excellent sense of the market and his business. He knows the crusher industry very well and has already tested equipment from different producers. Since there were no Rockster crushers in Holland so far, we went to Austrian customers to see the plants in operation and test them," says Gerrit Ophof.

Not just in the US you find trucks like this, even in Holland the R1100DS is transported with such stylish truck

100% more performance promises 100% more profit

Almost all operations with crushing plants are calculated per tonne of final material, therefore the optional weighing system was essential for Van den Brink. The majority of his jobs are in the contractors business for demolition waste and RAP. It’s very important for him to easily move the plant from one jobsite to the other. Thanks to compact dimensions and weight he manages to transport the crusher without any permits, also including screen box and return belt without disassembly on a semi-trailer.

Easy handling

GPS as official requirement

As Holland's government requires the possibility to control the location and use of a construction machine at all times, the R1100DS had to be additionally equipped with a GPS device. An official edition that will probably be future topic throughout Europe.
