A Red Rhino Crusher: 24 have been ordered for use in Haiti
UK-based 0 Red Rhino Crusher has secured an order for 24 Mini Crushers from aid agency CHF International for use in clearing rubble from the Haiti earthquake.

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. We can use recycled material in helping to shelter thousands of Haitians and in reconstructing essential infrastructure such as hospitals, schools and public buildings.

"We are pleased to have found an excellent partner in Red Rhino and look forward to working together to help in the reconstruction of the lives of the people of Haiti."
