traffic because it makes roads more durable . Then you can also understand this next company ’ s choice to use an MB-L160 crusher bucket on their Caterpillar 924G loader to process vast quantities of asphalt .

Another major problem with road infrastructure is road maintenance . How much damage can cracks or potholes create ? To vehicles and can affect safety itself . For this reason , to shorten maintenance times and reduce costs , a road works company installed an MB Crusher MB-L200 crusher bucket on its Manitou telehandler , recycled the crushed asphalt , and reused it for road maintenance . Video : https :// vimeo . com / 700840222 Recycling asphalt provides the company , municipalities , and those who manage roads with several benefits : recycling materials means reducing purchasing and disposal costs and less dependency on a stationary production plant .
Moreover , recycling crushed asphalt is good for the environment as it reduces greenhouse emissions and limits the usage of non-renewable natural resources like gravel , sand and stones .
Crushing materials with MB ’ s units is even easier than expected . As our Austrian customer reminds us , “ A great advantage is that the crusher bucket is straightforward to transport […], especially with hard-to-reach construction sites , road work in the mountains , or remote locations – and therefore , its versatility allows you to do more than what you typically could do : therefore , increasing the value of our work , of our construction sites while respecting the environment .”
Choosing the right path is often easier than you think .
