CR550 Diesel Hybrid Crusher: Incredible Crushing Power without the BULK

Meet the Dragon Equipment CR550 Diesel Hybrid Crusher – our largest and most advanced crusher to date. Designed for demolition, recycling, and aggregate production, the CR550 Hybrid Crusher combines compact transportability with a revolutionary diesel-hybrid powertrain. It delivers exceptional crushing power while keeping fuel costs, emissions, and machine weight to a minimum.

Hybrid Crushing Innovation

At the heart of the CR550 Crusher is a ground-breaking diesel-hybrid powertrain. A 19kW diesel engine works in partnership with a 10kW e-machine, delivering instant power boosts during peak loads and recharging the onboard battery during lighter work. This unique system means the CR550 Crusher punches well above its weight, while remaining fully compliant with stringent global emissions standards.

The result? Outstanding performance, efficiency, and environmental responsibility — without the bulk.

Unrivalled Transportability

Despite being the largest machine in our compact range, the CR550 Hybrid Crusher remains just 1,270mm wide and weighs under 2,800kg. That means it can be towed on a standard trailer with a regular UK driving licence, making it an ideal solution for operators and hire shops looking to move between job sites quickly and easily.

Boost Operator Efficiency

The CR550 features a 560mm x 275mm jaw aperture, hydraulically adjustable to produce material from 3mm to 75mm at the press of a button. Operators can even choose jaw stroke direction to suit the material — an upward stroke for softer materials like tarmac or downward stroke for hard stone.

Remote Control as Standard

For added flexibility and safety, the machine comes with remote control operation as standard, allowing operators to track, position, and crush from outside the immediate work area or even from the cab of an excavator.

Intelligent Controls for Continuous Crushing

To maximise uptime, the CR550 Crusher is equipped with Dragon Equipment’s proven ‘no-stress’ and ‘anti-stall’ technology. These intelligent systems automatically reverse jaws or pause the feed to prevent blockages and protect the crusher box, allowing for smooth, uninterrupted operation.

Built for Productivity

The CR550 Crusher is designed for long days on site. A 33L fuel tank provides over 8 hours of continuous crushing, while maintenance is made simple with a hinged bonnet for easy access, a central greasing point, and an optional auto-greasing system.

Built in Suffolk, England

Like all Dragon Equipment machines, the CR550 Hybrid Crusher is designed and built in Suffolk. We’re proud to source 80–85% of components within 50 miles of our factory, supporting local industry while reducing manufacturing emissions.

Power without the BULK

The CR550 Hybrid Crusher represents a new era in compact crushing: maximum performance, minimum footprint. It’s powerful, efficient, and transportable — a crusher built for the demands of modern demolition and recycling.
