NewRoadProducts MB AMERICA Crush rocks, concrete onsite MB America's crushers are excavator buckets with an internal hydraulic jaw-crusher system that crushes rocks, concrete and any other hard material onsite, directly into the bucket. The machine also crushes reinforced concrete, returning both clean rebar and crushed material ready for recycling. Because the crusher bucket is used in conjunction with an excavator, it can be used in tight spaces and is easily transported. Four models are available and may be used on an entire range of excavators, from 9 tons and up.
