On or about 1957, Robert Rossi, our founder, and his family started a sand and gravel mining operation in Ringwood, New Jersey. Working long hours with a willingness to do “whatever it takes”, the Rossi family built one of the most respected and well known mining organizations in New Jersey. Over time, they purchased various mine sites in New York and New Jersey. Among them are RINGWOOD QUARRY, WEST MILFORD CONCRETE PRODUCTS, RINGWOOD WASHED SAND AND GRAVEL CO., INC., EMPIRE STONE, and FORD ROAD MINE. Each site was developed from raw land to fully operational mining operations. Over time, the operations expanded, and new, larger machines were added.1961calendar
In 1987, Mr. Rossi started R.R. EQUIPMENT COMPANY as a marketing arm for the excess machinery that was left over from expansions and upgrading. In 1989 Robert Rossi, Jr. graduated college and joined Mr. Rossi. Together, R.R. EQUIPMENT COMPANY expanded and began to buy and sell used equipment worldwide. The equipment division began to rebuild, recondition and build portable and stationary plants using both used and new machinery. The larger portable and track mounted plants are marketed under the trademarked names of CRUSHKING and SCREENKING.
Ringwood Quarry 1978.2In 1995, Mr. Joseph Dininno, family friend and biochemist, was hired to assist in engineering and operations. Mr. Dininno is proficient in autocad computer assisted design and hydraulics. With the Company expanding rapidly and for logistics reasons, R.R. EQUIPMENT COMPANY decided, in 1996, to move the machinery division to a central location on the east coast. The company purchased 34 industrial acres in Lancaster, SC, USA, just south of Charlotte, N.C., and moved the headquarters and main production facility to this location.SRBusinesscard
In 2001, Robert Rossi, Jr. invented and patented the first impact and jaw bucket crusher attachment known as CRUSH-ALL.

EQUIPMENT COMPANY name, we manufacture and market the following trademarked machines: REBEL CRUSHER, CRUSH-ALL, CRUSHKING, SCREENKING and SWING SCREEN. We are delighted that Mr. Rossi, our founder, still plays an active role in the day-to-day processes and decision making. His dedication, work ethic and passion for the industry are contagious and unsurpassed. His leadership, wisdom, and experience are greatly valued.
