A Red Rhino Crusher: 24 have been ordered for use in Haiti

CHF has said that around 98% of the rubble from the earthquake in March has yet to be cleared and it will use the crushers to reprocess the material for the reconstruction work.

CHF International's Sinan Al-Najjar said: "Recycling rubble is an essential solution for the reconstruction of Haiti that CHF International has pursued aggressively since the earthquake.
