Finlay has introduced the J-1280 Jaw Crusher, a new addition to its tracked mobile crusher lineup.

Designed to bridge the gap between the J-1175 and the larger J-1480, the J-1280 delivers performance in a more transport-friendly package, making it the ideal solution for medium-sized quarries and larger contractors seeking high capacity without the logistical challenges of heavier equipment.

Featuring a large 47 in. x 32 in. jaw chamber, the J-1280 offers a wide gape and throughput capabilities for hard rock applications. Despite its size, the machine is engineered for easier transport, weighing less than the J-1480 while maintaining strength and durability.

Martin Conway, global sales and marketing director of Finlay said, "This balance of size and mobility has been a direct response to strong feedback from the Finlay distribution network, who emphasised the need for a lighter, more transportable model yet with the same jaw dimensions of our highest-selling units in several key regions."

One of the standout features of the J-1280 is its hydrostatic drive system, according to Finlay. Unlike direct drive alternatives, the hydrostatic setup allows the crusher to continuously operate in reverse. This functionality is critical for clearing blockages quickly and safely, without the need to manually lift material from the chamber. The ability to unblock not only improves safety by reducing the need for working at height but also minimises downtime by eliminating the need for lock-out/tag-out procedures during unblocking.

The J-1280 is available in three feed-in configurations: a standard vibrating grizzly feeder (VGF), a pre-screen option and an extended pan feeder with pre-screen. This flexibility allows operators to tailor the machine to their specific application needs, whether prioritising throughput, fines removal or feed consistency.

"This latest addition to the jaw crusher lineup reflects our commitment to engineering excellence, customer feedback and operational efficiency," said Conway. "With a focus on safety, transport efficiency and high-performance crushing, the Finlay J-1280 is a machine built not only to meet the demands of today's quarrying and contracting environments but to exceed them."
