Some jobs need a crusher to sit in one place for years. Others need production capacity that moves to wherever the material is, whether that is a demolition site this month and a quarry face the next. The Metso Lokotrack LT106 is built for the second scenario, and understanding what it actually does well makes the difference between the right purchase and an expensive mismatch.
This post covers how the LT106 is engineered, the applications it handles best, and why a mobile jaw crusher changes the economics of a job compared to hauling material to a fixed plant.
Why the LT106 Is Built the Way It Is
A Primary Crusher Designed to Move With the Job
The LT106 is a track-mounted, self-propelled crushing unit that can relocate within a site or load onto a trailer for transport between sites. Hydraulic folding sidewalls and a radial side conveyor mean the unit can go from crushing to transport-ready in minutes, not hours. For operations running multiple sites or short-term contracts, that setup time difference compounds fast.
The Nordberg C106 Jaw Crusher at the Core of the Unit
At the center of the LT106 sits the Nordberg C106, a single toggle jaw crusher with a non-welded construction built for demanding, continuous duty. The feed opening measures 1060 by 700 millimeters, accepting material up to roughly 560 millimeters, and the crusher is rated for output up to 350 to 400 tonnes per hour depending on application and setting.
What the LT106 Actually Does Well
Feed Size, Capacity, and What That Means on Site
A feed opening this size means the LT106 can take large, irregular material straight from an excavator or wheel loader without extensive pre-breaking. Combined with a large feed hopper and vibrating grizzly feeder, the unit handles inconsistent material flow better than smaller mobile crushers, which matters on sites where feed is not perfectly sized or paced.
Hard Rock Applications: Granite, Iron Ore, and Manganese
The C106 jaw crusher has a track record in hard rock applications, including granite, iron ore, and manganese. High inertia flywheels and an efficient engine platform keep fuel consumption manageable even under sustained hard rock crushing, which is where many mobile units lose efficiency.
Demolition Recycling: Turning Concrete Into Usable Base Material
Beyond quarrying, the LT106 is a strong fit for demolition recycling. Crushed concrete can be reused as base material for roads, sidewalks, and construction projects, turning demolition waste into a usable product instead of landfill volume. A magnetic separator option removes embedded rebar and metal from the crushed material automatically.
Why a Mobile Jaw Crusher Changes How a Job Gets Done
Bringing the Crusher to the Material Instead of Hauling Material to a Plant
A fixed crushing plant requires hauling every load of raw material to the plant location. A mobile unit like the LT106 reverses that logistics equation. The crusher moves to the material, cutting transport time and fuel cost on every load, particularly valuable for demolition sites, remote quarry faces, or projects with a defined timeline that does not justify a permanent plant.
Setup and Transport Time Between Sites
The LT106’s compact dimensions and tracked mobility keep transport costs down between and within sites. The chassis is designed with clearance at both ends for safe, straightforward loading onto a low bed trailer, which reduces the labor and time typically required to relocate primary crushing equipment.
Working as a Standalone Unit or the First Stage of a Multistage Crushing Line
The LT106 operates effectively as a standalone primary crusher for smaller operations, or as the first stage feeding into secondary and tertiary crushing units for larger production lines. That flexibility means the same unit fits both a single-site contractor and an operation building out a full mobile crushing train.

Mobile Jaw Crusher for Sale in Ecuador: What Operators Should Know Before Buying
Matching the LT106 to Quarrying, Construction Recycling, or Mixed-Use Operations
Operators in Ecuador evaluating a mobile jaw crusher should consider the range of material they expect to process. The LT106’s feed size and capacity make it suitable for aggregate quarrying, construction and demolition recycling, and mixed-use operations that shift between material types across different contracts.
What Comes Standard vs What Should Be Confirmed Before Purchase
Before purchase, confirm what is included with the specific unit:
- Engine tier and emissions certification for the destination country
- Feeder configuration and grizzly spacing
- Whether a magnetic separator is installed or available as an add-on
- Radial side conveyor length and discharge height
- Current hours and maintenance history if the unit is used
These details affect both the purchase price and how quickly the unit can be put into production once it arrives.
LT106 Crusher Support in Panama and Guyana: Why Regional Availability Matters
Why Buying From a Regional Source Changes Delivery and Support Timelines
Sourcing a mobile jaw crusher from a supplier based in the region rather than overseas cuts delivery time significantly and simplifies import documentation for Panama and Guyana specifically. A unit already available in the Americas moves faster than one shipped from an overseas distribution center.
What Ownership Looks Like After the Sale: Parts, Service, and Technical Support
Owning an LT106 means an ongoing relationship with wear parts, service, and technical support, not just a one-time purchase. Jaw dies, feeder components, and conveyor parts all need replacement over the life of the unit, and having a supplier positioned to support those needs regionally protects uptime long after the initial sale.
