Crush Costs & Create Cash Flow: How Kalimantan’s Remote Sites Become Profit Centres

14-07-2025

The Indonesian infrastructure sector is booming. Projects are everywhere — but earthmoving companies are increasingly faced with remote access and high logistics costs.
Rather than seeing remote jobs as a burden, smart companies are turning them into money-making opportunities — thanks to the MB Crusher units.

Get Your Site Evaluation — Is MB Crusher Right for You?

 

Kalimantan remote area

Kalimantan’s rugged terrain, dense forests, and narrow riverbanks often make it impossible to deploy conventional crushing setups. Transporting materials and heavy machinery is time-consuming and expensive.

But what if the first machine on site — your excavator — could also be your mobile crusher
 

Why Add an MB Crusher Unit to Your Fleet?

Instead of hauling stone away for processing — and then hauling it back in — crush it on site.
This means less fuel, fewer trucks, fewer workers, and major cost savings.

Key Advantages

  • Plug‑and‑Play Setup
    Fits directly onto your fleet’s excavators — no extra trucks, conveyors or crushers needed. Swap buckets in minutes and start crushing where the material is.
  • Compact, Rugged Design
    Perfect for Indonesia’s remote, jungle-river environments: narrow riverbanks, muddy trails, and no infrastructure. No need for roads or staging areas, just deploy and go.

Why This Matters to Earthmoving Companies? It is a new Revenue Stream

Indonesia’s earthmoving market is booming — infrastructure, mining, rural electrification, and B40‑compliant green projects are driving demand . But it’s also hurting under rising logistics, remote access issues, and materials costs .

MB Crusher solves three core problems:

  • Access: Operate in remote jungle and river areas where traditional setups can't reach.
  • Costs: Cut down on transport, handling, and material sourcing.
  • Revenue: Sell the aggregate you crush or use it to win more contracts.

Real Case: Crushing Stone and Costs on the Long Panghangai River

In East Kalimantan, along the Long Panghangai River, a Zoomlion excavator fitted with the MB Crusher BF90.3 S4 crushed river stones right on the riverbank. No crushers, no roads, no delays. Just one machine, one operator, and tonnes of ready-to-use material — all created on site.
This turned an isolated worksite into a profitable, self-sufficient operation.
MB Crusher requires less skilled labour and lower logistics overhead — simple to operate and maintain in remote sites.

 

The next step - Powering Remote Electrification Projects

Government and private initiatives are building infrastructure to bring electricity to isolated villages. These projects involve:

  • Laying roads and concrete foundations
  • Installing electrical poles and substations
  • Constructing micro-hydro or solar power plants
     

Most of these sites are far from supply chains. MB Crusher enables small teams to process their own materials independently, cutting downtime and accelerating delivery.

Stay Competitive in B40-Compliant Green Tenders

Indonesia is pushing for a sustainable, low-emission future, with policies like B40 (40% biodiesel use) and stricter environmental benchmarks.

Green projects must prove:
  • Reduced emissions
  • Efficient use of resources
  • Responsible waste handling
     
MB Crusher helps achieve this by:
  • Eliminating extra truck journeys
  • Lowering fuel consumption
  • Preventing unnecessary site waste

This supports your ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) goals and makes your bid stronger for government and green contracts.

Big Benefits in Mining Too

Mining operations often face:

  • Remote and rugged terrain
  • Limited road access
  • Expensive material movement
     

MB Crusher allows your team to crush overburden and stone on the spot, maintaining haul roads, building infrastructure, or preparing fill — all without external equipment

You can be next

At Mahulu’s Long Panghangai River, MB Crusher didn’t just crush stone — it crushed costs, turned logistical nightmares into straight-to-site production, and unlocked new business value.

With one Zoomlion excavator and a BF90.3 S4 bucket, the jobsite turned into a mobile production centre, delivering aggregate exactly when and where it was needed.

For Indonesian earthmoving companies, MB Crusher is more than just a tool — it's a business advantage. It makes your fleet more agile, your operations more efficient, and your company more competitive in
