MB Crusher Helps Every Site Become Recycling Centers Produce your building material, using your heavy equipment, wherever the job site is located. This is the easiest solution for many companies now that procurement is becoming more complex, expensive and it takes longer. And it is also the practical solution when the construction sites are located in areas where heavy vehicles have a hard time reaching it, where there aren’t connecting roads or in historical centres with traffic restrictions. For example, in Bulgaria, a company had to demolish an old house and had limited When a landslide damaged the Santo Spirito bridge in Italy, an MB crusher and screening bucket helped the contractor exceed standards. space.

They saved time and reduced their expenses: they didn’t need to process the material further by transporting it and repurchase it from the recycling centre or a quarry. The result? A material that all companies can obtain on-site at no extra cost. This applies to those who work on large In Bulgaria, a company installed an MB-L160 crusher or small urban redevelopment sites or those bucket on a Case backhoe loader to demolish an old house. often involved in road works, bridge demolitions, or road construction, and those who disposal fees and material purchasing fees. also work in quarries.
