MB Crusher reaches new heights

It's not only climbers rthat each great heights, MB Crusher attachments soar the Alps, literally. They took to the skies in a helicopter to showcase that “working smarter, easily, and with profitably” is more than just a slogan; it’s a reality.

Why deal with complicated mountain logistics when you can fly over them? When transporting materials has become a nightmare and time is tight, the solution is simple: reduce effort and maximise results.

Here are three projects demonstrating how MB Crusher tackles the highest challenges. Literally.

Grands Montets, Mont Blanc - France - 3,300 Metres above sea level

The mountains present a tough challenge for most, but not for MB Crusher equipment. Pugnat TP had a job to complete at an altitude of 3,300 meters, with no water supply and limited access to the site of the new Grands Montets cable car station. Granite needed to be cushed into 0-80 mm pieces to build the foundation, without the hassle of transporting materials up and down the mountain.

To tackle this, a MB Crusher BF90.3 S4 crusher bucket was used, attached to a CAT 330 excavator. The BF90.3 had to be completely disassembled and flown to the site in several helicopter trips. Once at the top, it was quickly reassembled and put to work right away. This solution saved time and money, reduced the carbon footprint, and helped protect the surrounding environment.

Dürrnbachhorn, Austria - 1,776 Metres above sea level

In the heart of the Chiemgau Alps, the goal was to lay cables for supply lines. The logistics? A nightmare. The solution? The MB-L140 crusher bucket, transported by helicopter and mounted on a Kaiser spider excavator. In difficult terrain and tight spaces, the MB Crusher jaw crusher crushed boulders extracted during digging, which were then reused to fill trenches. No transport, reduced pollution, maximum efficiency. Once again, efficiency at new heights.

Drogo’s valley, Northern Italy

It’s not just the crusher buckets that experience the thrill of helicopter flight! In the stunning Drogo’s Valley in northern Italy, an MB-G500 selector grab was transported by helicopter to reach the steep area where Fattarelli SAS company was reshaping riverbeds and constructing embankments. Work that requires utmost safety and precision. "The MB Crusher grab is an essential companion," stated Nicola Fattarelli, who understands the importance of having the right tools in such extreme conditions.

Whether it’s crushing boulders, moving logs, or stabilising structures, MB Crusher has proven its equipment can rise to the toughest challenges. From France to Austria and across Italy, working in the high mountains has never been easier, more profitable, or—let’s face it—more spectacular!
