MB Crusher goes off-site!

• MB Crusher’s equipment takes on unconventional tasks during summer, including farming and recycling.

• In the Netherlands, the MB-HDS314 padding bucket efficiently separates potato waste from soil, stones, and roots.

• The BF80.3 crusher bucket, mounted on a CAT 320 GC excavator, recycles thin window glass into uniform crushed material.

• The MB-G600 sorting grapple and a Merlo telehandler team up to move logs and concrete blocks efficiently.

• The MB-G500 sorting grapple assists farmers by moving hay bales and farm materials with precision and ease.

From potatoes to glass – and even hay – MB Crusher’s units take a summer holiday… in a unique way.

Summer’s in full swing in many corners of the world: long days, blue skies, and plenty of sunshine. While construction sites slow down during the hottest weeks, MB Crusher’s machines don’t hang up their boots completely – they just take on a new perspective. Even on holiday, they never really stop being useful… they simply switch roles.

This time of year sees MB Crusher equipment dive into more unconventional (but no less essential) tasks, from farming to recycling and even some unexpected – yet surprisingly clever – collaborations. Here's a peek at a few of their more unusual summer adventures:

From site to spuds: the all-purpose screening bucket

The Netherlands – famous for tulips, windmills and… potatoes. Here, an MB-HDS314 padding bucket took on a rather curious task: separating potato waste from soil, stones and roots. Thanks to MB Crusher’s rotary shaft system, the job was done in no time. It even crushed the damaged spuds to make composting more efficient. The result? Total independence in waste management and a sharp cut in disposal costs.

Smashing glass (without making a scene!)

Even crusher buckets like to take it easy in the summer. Case in point: glass crushing. One customer needed to recycle thin window glass and turned to the BF80.3 – the perfect partner for the job. Mounted on a CAT 320 GC excavator and set to the closed jaw setting, it produced a clean, uniform crushed material, ready to be reintroduced into the glass production cycle. Clean, efficient, and sustainable.

Summer’s hottest duo

What’s summer without a new friendship? The MB-G600 sorting grapple teamed up with a Merlo telehandler for a dynamic duo that’s as unexpected as it is effective. With the telehandler’s reach and agility and the grapple’s 360° rotation and secure grip, they made light work of moving everything from logs to concrete blocks. The perfect pair for getting the job done swiftly – and leaving time for a cheeky afternoon nap.

Old MacDonald had a grapple…

Out in the countryside, there’s no such thing as a summer break. With hay bales to shift and animals to feed, the MB-G500 sorting grapple proves to be a trusty ally. Compact, precise, and tireless, it helps move fodder and farm materials with ease, simplifying the day-to-day and lightening the load for farmers.

A summer well spent… gearing up for autumn

So, while construction sites might be catching their breath, MB Crusher attachments are still on the move. Different setting, unexpected challenges – same unbeatable versatility. Even under the August sun, they show that being multi-talented isn’t just useful… it’s a way of life.
