We at Manatts have dubbed our innovative new crushing machine the Paradigm. This machine, the first to ever be built and put to use in large scale heavy-highway construction has revolutionized the industry. The machine was first conceived in February 1993 by employees at Manatts Inc., Duit Construction, and Wendling Quarries. Prior to this machine’s existence rubblized roadway had to be hauled to a fixed location, crushed, then hauled back to the construction site. This is what Manatts saw as the paradigm of stationary crushing and forced us to ask ourselves: Why does the crusher have to be sitting in one spot? It doesn’t!

Soon after the notion of mobile crusher was conceived Manatts salvaged tracks off of used equipment and attached them to the stationary crushing assembly. The Paradigm, dubbed as such because of its ability to break the static frame of thought previously accepted as the norm, allows Manatts to recycle concrete in-

place. The time and costs savings are staggering in the domino effect it creates. Trucks are no longer running back and forth through the busy construction zone. Safety issues are reduced. Haul roads do not require as much maintenance. Concrete can be broken, crushed, and recycled to the exact spot it came from. The entire methodology of heavy-highway construction has changed. Just as amazing are the cost savings. It is estimated that the Paradigm saved over $800,000 on a single 14 mile project.

This machine earned Manatts the Construction Innovation Forum's NOVA Award in 1996.  Gomaco also features information about the Paradigm inside their success stories section.
