MB Crusher units take on a unique range of materials, from potatoes, glass, and even hay!

This time of year, MB Crusher equipment dives 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.
