Here’s how MB Crusher sees the jobsite of the future - Equipment Journal

Not too long ago, excavators were simply digging machines. Today, these machines are evolving into multifunctional tools: whether large or small, construction equipment is becoming the Swiss Army knives of the jobsite.

With ease, construction equipment can transition from crushing to screening, or handling to loading, all with just a change of attachment. By installing an MB Crusher attachment to its arm, construction equipment can swiftly switch between tasks, making the construction site of the future a present-day reality.

In the construction site of the future, the concept of waste will be obsolete. Every scrap material will be recovered and reused either on-site or in other projects — nothing will go to waste.

MB Crusher’s attachments can turn waste into valuable resources, eliminating the need for material transportation and reducing the necessity to purchase new materials.

The future site is one of pure efficiency, where every action is optimized, and every resource is used to its fullest potential. MB Crusher accessories streamline the recycling process, making left over materials reusable as an integral, automated part of daily operations. With MB Crusher, every site becomes more efficient: less waste, faster operations.

On the future construction site, both costs and project times will be further reduced. MB Crusher’s attachments, installed on heavy equipment, allows multiple tasks to be managed easily, while saving on maintenance and management costs. Projects become more affordable, and the initial investment is reduced.

The future site is also safer, as the operator remains inside the excavator’s cab, effortlessly controlling the attachment. A quick-coupling change system allows for smooth transitions between tasks, enhancing both safety and efficiency.

Soon, we might see construction sites operated remotely, with operators monitoring and controlling heavy equipment from distant control centres.

In Italy, Roberto Mauro’s company has integrated three MB Crusher attachments into their fleet to use on a Mecalac 8 MCR excavator. The attachments include the MB-C50 crusher bucket, the MB-G600 sorting grapple and the MB-S10 screening bucket. This combo has enabled the company to tackle a variety of projects, from beach cleaning and coastal reclamation to waterworks pipelines and road works, as well as demolition and construction.

The company has significantly reduced processing times and slashed operational costs.
