Crusher buckets, trommel and padding buckets, hydraulic cutters and sorting grapples are designed to not change work habits but improve them. Not just as a complement to the carrier machine, but also to expand their functionality and, consequently, enhance new job opportunities for companies. 

For example, using a Mecalac 8MCR excavator and an MB-C50 crusher bucket, a French company specialising in groundworks and the construction of swimming pools, reuses the demolition waste instead of sending it to the landfill, thus reducing disposal costs and pollution while respecting the residential area where they work. The customer installed the MB Crusher MB-S10 screening bucket on the 10t excavator and was able to screen the cuttings to obtain topsoil to create flowerbeds and refill the gardens of the Palace of Versailles.

In another application, a landscaping company used a MB-G350 sorting grapple fitted on its Bobcat E27 mini excavator to safely move branches, trunks, brambles and twigs. Installed on a Doosan DX63 excavator, a MB-HDS212 padding bucket enabled an earthmoving company to sort and recycle as much construction waste as possible. Once recycled, the materials can be reused or resold. 

Waste management reduces the impact on the environment and saves the company money on the purchase of new materials and Intermat 2024 is about sustainability with decarbonisation being the theme of the show, pertinent at a time when the environmental emergency has come to the forefront. MB Crusher states that its attachment s help sustainability because they allow waste to become a resource to be reused and reduce emissions by avoiding the constant back and forth of trucks.
