The SE-1060 track-mounted mobile jaw crusher and the Metso Lokotrack LT106 sit in the same broad 40-ton mobile primary crushing class, but they are not equivalent products.
Built around the world-renowned Nordberg C106 jaw crusher, the LT106 is a 40-tonne-class European flagship. It features the Metso IC700 automation system, a CAT C9.3 engine rated at 224 kW, and decades of field-proven reliability in the toughest aggregate and recycling applications. It is — without question — one of the finest mobile jaw crushers money can buy. That qualifier matters.
The SE-1060 is positioned as a cost-effective, configurable alternative with a slightly deeper published feed opening, dual-power flexibility, and much lower apparent entry cost.
Manufactured at the Anhui Dongfeng Electromechanical facility—a China Ordnance Factory—the SE-1060 is a track-mounted primary jaw crusher engineered for mining, quarrying, and C&D recycling. It ships standard with a vibrating pre-screen, an overband magnet, Strickland tracks, and a 600 L diesel tank. It is not trying to be the LT106. It is trying to make the LT106 irrelevant for 90% of operators.
In plain terms, SE-1060 looks strongest where buyers prioritize lower CAPEX, customization, and flexible power options; LT106 looks strongest where buyers prioritize proven OEM support, documentation depth, and global parts coverage.
Overview of both mobile jaw crushers
The SE-1060 is marketed by AHSUHMAN/Crushplant as a track-mounted mobile jaw crusher for quarrying, aggregates, demolition debris, and recycled concrete. One of its clearest published advantages is configuration flexibility: official materials show single-power, dual-power, and external electric power-oriented variants, plus region-specific emissions and certification options. That makes it especially appealing to buyers who want a lower-cost machine tailored to local power supply, export compliance, or site-specific attachments.
The Metso Lokotrack LT106 is a benchmark machine in this class, built around the Nordberg C106 single-toggle jaw crusher and backed by Metso’s global distribution, automation, and wear-parts ecosystem. It is not the cheapest machine to buy, but it offers more transparent OEM data on controls, safety, noise, jaw plate options, and support infrastructure.

Where Each Machine Pulls Ahead
The SE-1060 Advantages You Can’t Ignore
The LT106 is an exceptional machine — nobody disputes that. But for the vast majority of quarry operators, contractors, and demolition recyclers worldwide, the SE-1060 does not just keep up. In several mission-critical dimensions, it actually pulls ahead.
Bigger Feed Size
The SE-1060 accepts material up to 700 mm—25% larger than the LT106’s 560 mm limit. In the field, this translates to fewer pre-breaking passes, less equipment wear, and a faster overall cycle. Run bigger rocks and skip extra steps.
Pre-Screen + Magnet Included
The SE-1060 ships standard with a 3,500 × 1,000 mm vibrating pre-screen and a 3 kW overband magnet. On the LT106, both are paid extras. You get more machine out of the box — no surprise invoices.
Wide CSS Range: 80–180 mm
A discharge setting range of 80–180 mm gives operators genuine output flexibility—from coarser base material to finer aggregate grades—without changing crusher configurations. Fewer setups, more versatility.
30° Gradient Capability
Strickland tracks with a 30-degree maximum gradient allow the SE-1060 to operate on steep and rough terrain where standard crushers simply won’t go. If your quarry isn’t flat — this matters enormously.
Faster Site Mobility
At up to 1.5 km/h, the SE-1060 repositions nearly twice as fast as the LT106’s 0.9 km/h top speed. On large quarries or multi-zone construction sites, that difference in site agility adds up to real productivity gains every single day.
600 L Fuel Tank
A large onboard 600-liter diesel tank extends autonomous operating range significantly—ideal for remote sites, developing markets, or anywhere where refueling logistics are a daily challenge.
Full OEM Flexibility
The SE-1060 supports complete OEM configuration and private labeling. For distributors, rental fleets, and regional equipment dealers, this is a capability the LT106 simply cannot match at any price.
The SE-1060 doesn’t just compete with European crushers — it redefines what operators should expect for the money.”
ownership cost
For CAPEX, the SE-1060 has a real public advantage. an AHSUHMAN sample quotation shows US$246,000 for equipment only and about US$285,800 CIF Manila. For LT106, a single new-machine official has no public price; however, used-market listings and market summaries place LT106 units broadly around US$187,000–350,000, implying materially higher new-machine pricing. A reasonable engineering placeholder for planning is SE-1060: US$195k–286k public clue range and LT106 new planning estimate roughly US$450k–650k depending on region and options.
Estimated operating cost per ton, excluding labor, is broadly US$0.12–0.23/t for SE-1060 and US$0.15–0.27/t for LT106, with hard-rock wear and downtime discipline being the main swing factors. Over five years, SE-1060 can be the lower-cost owner if your required output sits comfortably within its realistic throughput band. If the site needs a steadier 250–300 tph hard-rock duty cycle with tighter uptime expectations, the LT106 can narrow the lifetime gap through more predictable production and stronger after-sales support.
Reliability, maintenance, compliance, and buyer fit
Metso’s advantage is stronger in documentation, preventive maintenance logic, wear-part options, and network transparency. Metso publicly documents 100+ distributors serving 100+ countries, with published support pages, control systems, and optional extended protection plans. See Metso distribution and Metso EPS coverage.
SE-1060’s advantage is different: factory-direct customization, lower upfront cost, and flexible export tailoring. AHSUHMAN publicly promotes installation, training, remote diagnostics, spare parts support, and multi-market certification support. The trade-off is that global dealer/service transparency is less visible than Metso’s.
For buyer fit, the SE-1060 is especially attractive for recycling contractors, emerging-market quarries, budget-sensitive aggregate producers, and buyers who value dual-power flexibility or export customization. The LT106 is the safer choice for high-utilization hard-rock fleets, rental fleets, global contractors, and buyers who want a more standardized OEM ecosystem.
Recommendation and decision matrix
If you want the most objective short answer, it is this: choose the SE-1060 when cost, configurability, and power flexibility matter most; choose the LT106 when uptime assurance, OEM documentation, service coverage, and resale value matter most.
You are running a large-scale aggregate operation, require the IC700 automation ecosystem, demand Caterpillar engine serviceability anywhere in the world, or are prioritising maximum tph ceiling above all other factors. Budget is not your primary constraint. Choose the Metso LT106
You want a robust, field-proven primary jaw crusher with a larger feed opening, superior site mobility, fully equipped standard spec, and a price that leaves budget for the rest of your operation. For 90% of operators in 90% of applications, this machine does everything the job demands — and then some. Choose the SUHMAN SE-1060
If your site economics depend on a lower buy-in and your material is not relentlessly high-abrasion hard rock, the SE-1060 deserves serious attention. Request a serial-number-specific quotation, option list, emissions package, jaw material specification, and spare-parts package before you compare brochure numbers.
| Buyer priority | Preferred model |
|---|---|
| Lowest upfront cost | SE-1060 |
| Dual-power or external-power flexibility | SE-1060 |
| Export customization and factory-direct negotiation | SE-1060 |
| Global parts and service network | LT106 |
| Rich automation and documented OEM controls | LT106 |
| Highest confidence in long-term hard-rock duty | LT106 / SE-1060 |
| Value-oriented recycling and demolition work | SE-1060 |
| Strongest resale and used-market liquidity | LT106 |
For the vast majority of quarry operators, civil contractors, demolition recyclers, and aggregate producers worldwide — the SE-1060 is the smarter purchase. It handles a larger feed, moves faster on site, ships with more standard equipment, and carries a longer warranty. And it does all of this at a fraction of the cost.
SE-1060: Competitive Performance with Lower Ownership Cost
Let’s be completely direct: the Metso Lokotrack LT106 is a premium European machine with a premium European price. When you factor in import costs, duties, and the long lead times of OEM spare parts, the total cost of ownership diverges even further. The SE-1060 is priced at 40–50% of a comparable Metso unit — and yet it ships with more standard equipment than the LT106 base configuration. That’s not a compromise. That’s a category disruption.
Few Machines in This Price Range Offer the same overall value.
At the SE-1060’s price point, you would normally be looking at underpowered, undersized, or poorly-supported machines from second-tier manufacturers. The SE-1060 breaks that ceiling entirely. You get a 700 mm max feed, 200–350 TPH capacity, a steel-tracked chassis built to military manufacturing standards, and more standard accessories than a machine that costs twice as much. Show us the competitor at this price. There isn’t one.
50–60% lower acquisition cost
Compared to equivalent European-brand mobile jaw crushers, factory-direct from the source.
No add-on surprises
Pre-screen, magnet, and extended warranty are standard. The sticker price is the real price.
ROI from month one
Lower capex means faster payback—critical for fleet operators, rental companies, and growing businesses.
Proven global deployments
SE-1060 units are operating in quarries across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa—delivering results.
On-site commissioning support
SUHMAN provides technical support and on-site commissioning — rare for factory-direct pricing.
Long-term parts security
Backed by an established supply chain with exports to 60+ countries and a 15+ year manufacturing track record.
In short, the SE-1060 is not positioned as a low-cost compromise. It is positioned as a practical, factory-direct alternative for buyers who need real crushing capacity, standard working equipment, and a lower total investment. For many quarry, construction, and recycling projects, that combination can make the SE-1060 a more financially sensible choice than paying a premium for brand names alone.
