McLanahan specializes in equipment for mineral size reduction solutions, from very friable minerals such as coal, limestone, granite, and ore-bearing minerals such as copper and iron. Minerals can be reduced in size, or crushed, at the primary, secondary and tertiary stages by equipment that utilizes impact, attrition, compression or shear forces.

McLanahan manufactures a wide range of products for the crushing and dry processing of materials. Products include vibratory and grizzly feeders, feeder-breakers, primary and secondary impact crushers, jaw crushers, roll crushers, rotary breakers, drag chain feeders, and sampling systems.
