Arblease and Dragon Equipment: A New Chapter in British-Built Innovation

Shared Vision, Shared Passion

Arblease is proud to announce an exciting new collaboration with Dragon Equipment, the British manufacturer behind some of the most innovative crushers, lifters, and mini loaders in the construction, landscaping, and arboricultural sectors.

The collaboration between Matt Potter, Founder of Arblease, and Jeff Haines, Founder of Dragon Equipment, is a natural progression built on mutual respect, shared values, and a deep-rooted passion for quality British engineering.

The two have known each other for nearly 20 years! Their working relationship has always been defined by a shared drive: to deliver products that genuinely perform, backed by integrity, reliability, and passion.

‘You can’t fake passion and quality. Jeff would never build a bad product, and we would never knowingly finance one. This collaboration is built on experience, respect, and a shared commitment to doing things properly.’ — Matt Potter, Founder of Arblease

From Garden Project to Industry Innovation

Dragon Equipment was born from a genuine need for smarter, more practical machinery. Founder Jeff Haines faced a familiar challenge—needing a compact concrete crusher that could reach his own back garden. When no suitable solution existed, he engineered one himself: the now-iconic CR300 Mini Crusher.

That prototype evolved into a British-built success story. Today, Dragon Equipment manufactures a range of crushers, lifters, and mini loaders designed for efficiency, accessibility, and durability—all rigorously tested and made with locally sourced components.

British Manufacturing at Its Best

At Arblease, we believe in supporting British manufacturing and are proud to promote brands that embody engineering excellence. The UK arboriculture and groundcare industries are rich with innovation and craftsmanship—and Dragon Equipment is a leading example of what can be achieved when design, usability, and build quality come together.

Choosing British-built machinery not only supports the UK economy but also ensures strong local backup, easy access to spare parts, and long-term product reliability. For these reasons, Arblease always encourages buyers to consider UK-made machinery as a strong option.
