New crusher bucket range from Montabert

Montabert have launched a new range of crusher buckets for use on excavators from 8 tonnes to over 35 tonnes. The crusher buckets mount on any make of excavator, requiring only one-way auxiliary hydraulics to operate. They can crush a wide range of materials including concrete, brick, blocks, asphalt and aggregate on site and are designed for applications in ground works, recycling, demolition, quarrying, construction, waste transfer, refurbishment and excavation.

The crusher buckets can be easily adjusted to produce different sizes of output material, thereby helping to reduce hauling and tipping costs. They can turn useless debris into material that can be used on site, on other projects or sold to other contractors.
