This is especially true for the production of crushed stone that is in an ever growing demand in Russia. The article presents the experience in using crushing and screening complexes <i>Telsmith </i>by OAO <i>Granit-Kuznechnoe</i>, the largest crushed stone producer in the Northwestern region of Russia. The advantages of the use of mobile crushing and screening complexes manufactured by <i>Telsmith </i>are listed, along with the components of such complexes. It was demonstrated that mobile complexes offered by <i>Telsmith </i>ensure considerable economy as the mobile equipment needs no understructure or foundation.
