Unlock project efficiency with Rockcycle Australia
Instead of paying to cart material offsite, tip it, process it, then buy it back and transport it again, RockCycle Australia crushes and processes it onsite — eliminating double handling, freight costs and supplier margins while keeping your project moving. By processing materials onsite, we help clients avoid double handling, tipping fees and return freight costs — significantly reducing overall project logistics expenses while turning waste material into reusable product.
Why RockCycle Australia saves you money
Understanding your project's bottom line is crucial. RockCycle Australia's on-site crushing and screening services are specifically designed to tackle the massive hidden costs associated with traditional off-site processing. Discover how we provide a more economical and efficient solution.
Eliminate double handling & freight costs
When material is taken offsite to a quarry, processed, and then repurchased, clients are paying for multiple hidden costs. Offsite Processing involves:
Loading material onto trucks, transport to quarry, paying tipping or disposal fees, quarry crushing it, buying processed material back, transporting it back to site, then rehandling and stockpiling.
This means two freight legs + handling + processing + supplier margin.
With RockCycle Australia's Onsite Crushing: Material stays on site, crushed and screened where it sits, and reused immediately.
This means one handling process, no return freight, and no re-buying your own material.
Freight is often the biggest hidden cost.
For example, 10,000 tonnes of concrete removed at $6–$10 per tonne haulage (one way) is $60,000–$100,000 outbound, plus freight again for bringing product back. We eliminate this, significantly reducing overall project logistics expenses.
🚛 OPTION 1: Offsite Quarry Model
1️⃣ Freight to Quarry
Average short-haul in VIC: $7–$12 per tonne (one way)
Let’s use $9 per tonne
8,000t × $9 = $72,000
2️⃣ Tipping Fees
Recycling yard/quarry: $15 per tonne average
8,000t × $15 = $120,000
3️⃣ Buy Back Crushed Material
Recycled road base supply: $18–$25 per tonne
Let’s use $22 per tonne
8,000t × $22 = $176,000
4️⃣ Freight Back to Site
8,000t × $9 = $72,000
🔴 Total Offsite Cost:
-
Outbound Freight: $72,000
-
Tipping: $120,000
-
Buy Back Material: $176,000
-
Return Freight: $72,000
💰 TOTAL = $440,000
That equals:
$55 per tonne effective cost
🏗 OPTION 2: Onsite Crushing (RockCycle Australia)
1️⃣ Crushing Cost (Per Tonne Model)
Typical mobile crushing rate in VIC:
$18 per tonne depending on volume
Let’s say we charge you:
$15 per tonne
8,000t × $15 = $120,000
2️⃣ Additional Handling (Loader, internal movement)
Let’s estimate: $3 per tonne
8,000t × $3 = $24,000
🟢 Total Onsite Cost:
Crushing: $120,000
Handling: $24,000
💰 TOTAL = $144,000
That equals:
$18 per tonne effective cost
🔥 CLIENT SAVINGS
Offsite Model: $440,000
