Premier Crushing & Screening Services Since 1978
RAPID is Australia’s largest independent crushing contractor, trusted by major Mining and Civil companies nationwide since 1978.
ABOUT US
We are an independent crushing contractor with one of the widest ranges of capabilities in Australia.
Safety is central to every project we deliver. Combined with high-production equipment, experienced crews, and modern workshops in Perth and Mackay, we provide clients with reliability, responsiveness, and operational independence.
A key point of difference is our ability to build and design our fully owned plant to suit each operation.
We customise OEM equipment and also design plant from the ground up, adapting layouts to the specific requirements of each site.
As a result, our plant configurations can differ significantly from other contractors because they are engineered to maximise output efficiency in real Australian conditions.
OUR CAPABILITIES
We specialise in processing mineral ores including lithium, iron ore, gold and nickel, under contract crushing or dry hire arrangements. We process a wide range of construction materials, including:
Concrete and road aggregates to AS & MRD specifications
Rail ballast, roadbase and blast stemming
Rip rap and armour rock
Special-class site preparation fill materials
Our fleet includes high-production mobile and fixed crushing, screening and conveying plants.
These range from mobile diesel-powered systems processing up to 600 tonnes per hour through to modular electrical plants operating at over 1,000 TPH.

recent PROJECTS
Mount Cattlin
RAPID mobilised to Mt Cattlin in July 2017 to provide crushing and screening services for primary ore. Since commencement, we continually improved our circuit and service offering while building a strong long-term relationship with the Client through multiple ownership changes and contract extensions.
Over the life of the project, RAPID crushed more than 10 million tonnes of ore. We also pioneered the handling of contaminated ore through interfacing with the Client’s ore sorters, improving overall product yield and supporting operational performance at the site.
RAVENSWOOD GOLD
RAPID built a strong relationship with the team at Ravenswood Gold by delivering flexible solutions that supported ongoing site operations. Our scope ranged from the hire of mobile machinery and support equipment through to complete three-stage crushing and screening circuits.
Ravenswood Gold also became the first Client in Australia to hire RAPID’s flagship Jonsson L160 mobile jaw crusher. Operating double shift for twelve months, the unit exceeded performance expectations while demonstrating the reliability and productivity of RAPID’s high-capacity mobile crushing fleet.
GREENBUSHES LITHIUM
RAPID provided crushing services for Talison Lithium’s Greenbushes operation, processing spodumene ore to varying product specifications throughout the contract. This flexibility allowed the Client to respond to changing market conditions and maximise production during periods of strong lithium pricing.
To support the operation, RAPID supplied a complete three-stage mobile crushing circuit together with support equipment including a 25-tonne crane, articulated haul trucks, and multiple front-end loaders. The integrated solution delivered reliable production capacity, operational flexibility, and efficient site support throughout the project.
Cobar Copper Operations
RAPID mobilised equipment and personnel to a remote site in New South Wales to support a major mining operation under demanding outback conditions.
The project required a diverse workforce comprising local Cobar personnel together with drive-in and fly-in crews from New South Wales, Queensland, and Victoria. Despite challenging weather and site conditions, RAPID successfully delivered the works ahead of the Covid-19 pandemic major disruptions.
The project demonstrated RAPID’s ability to mobilise skilled teams, adapt to complex operational environments, and deliver reliable outcomes in remote Australian mining conditions.
