Finlay Launches High-Performance J-1280 Jaw Crusher

Omagh, Ireland – Finlay., a brand of Terex and a crushing, screening, and conveying equipment manufacturer, has introduced the J-1280 jaw crusher, a new model that strikes a balance between size, performance, and mobility. Positioned between the popular J-1175 and the larger J-1480, the J-1280 offers high-capacity performance in a more transport-friendly design, making it ideal for medium-sized quarries and large contractors looking to maximize efficiency without compromising on portability.

At the heart of the J-1280 is a powerful 1200mm x 820mm jaw chamber, built to handle demanding hard rock applications with ease. Despite its robust capabilities, the J-1280 has been designed to be lighter than the J-1480, simplifying transport logistics and expanding access to jobsites where larger machines may face restrictions.

A key feature of the J-1280 is its hydrostatic drive system, enabling continuous reverse operation for fast, safe blockage clearing without manual intervention. It also offers three configurable feed-in options - standard VGF, pre-screen, and extended pan feeder with pre-screen - allowing operators to tailor performance for throughput, fines removal, or feed consistency.

Mr. Martin Conway, Global sales and marketing director for Finlay, said, "This balance of size and mobility has been a direct response to strong feedback from the Finlay distribution network, who emphasised the need for a lighter, more transportable model yet with the same jaw dimensions (1200x820mm) of our highest-selling units in several key regions. With a focus on safety, transport efficiency, and high-performance crushing, the Finlay J-1280 is a machine built not only to meet the demands of today's quarrying and contracting environments but to exceed them."

With its innovative features, compact frame, and focus on operator needs, the Finlay J-1280 continues the brand’s legacy of delivering reliable, versatile, and high-performance crushing solutions for the global market.
