Meet the team and fleet.

Quality aggregate starts with experienced operators and dependable equipment. Meet the team, mobile crushing fleet, and support equipment that keep projects moving across British Columbia.

Experienced aggregate crushing professionals in British Columbia.

Crushing is a trade learned through experience, not in a classroom. At Cantex Crushing, many of our operators have spent 11 to 20 years working together on crushing spreads throughout British Columbia. That knowledge is passed from crew member to crew member, creating a team that understands how to keep production moving safely and consistently.

Every crew is cross-trained, giving us the flexibility to adapt to changing conditions without compromising quality. When specifications are demanding and schedules are tight, experience is what keeps aggregate on spec, operations running efficiently, and clients confident in the results.

Everything needed to produce specification aggregate.

Cantex Crushing combines a modern fleet of mobile crushing and screening equipment with a company-owned aggregate pit to support mining, highway construction, infrastructure, commercial, and custom aggregate projects throughout British Columbia.

Our operation extends beyond the crusher itself. Our two crushing spreads are supported by screening plants, Hurricane dust control on every plant, and on-site quality control, with the loaders and excavators the job calls for. This fleet allows us to produce specification aggregate at our Summerland pit and mobilize directly to customer sites, delivering the same commitment to safety, efficiency, and quality across every project.

Every piece of equipment is backed by a preventative maintenance program and operated by experienced crews who understand how to maximize production, minimize downtime, and consistently deliver aggregate that meets specification.

Mobile crushing plants

Two mobile crushing spreads, a high-capacity plant for large-volume work and a smaller, more versatile one for tighter sites, both capable of mobilizing anywhere in British Columbia and beyond it to produce specification aggregate on customer sites or within our own operations.

Aggregate pit & material supply

A company-owned aggregate pit provides dependable access to quality source material for infrastructure, mining, road construction, and commercial projects.

Screening plants

Screening equipment separates crushed material into multiple aggregate products, sized to meet demanding project specifications.

Wheel loaders & excavators

We source loaders and excavators to match each project's requirements, providing the equipment needed to feed crushers, develop pits, manage stockpiles, and keep production moving efficiently.

Hurricane dust control

A Hurricane vacuum dust control system is fitted on every one of our crushing plants, pulling airborne dust off the crushers and screens at the source while the spread is running.

On-site quality control

A quality control testing trailer travels with the crushing spread, so gradations are checked on site alongside production rather than after the stockpile is built.

Whatever the job calls for, the gradation is set to match it. We crush to your spec, including MoTT SS202 base course and CSA A23.1 concrete-aggregate gradations.
