Abstract

A material processing plant e.g. a crusher or shredder (2) adapted to be suspended between a first wheeled unit (3) and a second wheeled unit (4) during transport, in which the first and second units have respective couplings, and in which the plant comprises: a plant frame; and front coupling and a rear coupling provided at the front and rear of the plant frame respectively; an arrangement of the front and rear couplings such that when the front coupling and the rear coupling of the plant frame are connected to the respective couplings of the first and second wheeled units, the plant (2) is suspended between the first and second units; and a lifting means (37) connected to one or both of the wheeled units (3,4), or to the plant frame, and operable to lift the plant for connecting the couplings of the plant frame to the respective couplings of the first and second wheeled units.
