One Machine to Rule Them All: How MB Crusher's Padding Bucket Is Transforming Job Sites Worldwide
From quarries to the alps, this single attachment is changing the game
Like the joker in the pack — always the right card to play. Environmental clean-up in the morning, laying bed prep in the afternoon, quarry sorting by evening. With the MB Crusher padding bucket, the job never stops — it just changes tune.
You wouldn’t expect a kaolinite quarry in sunny Spain and the snowy slopes of the French Alps to have much in common. But they do share one powerful solution: the MB Crusher padding bucket.
Different materials. Different challenges. One attachment. The result? Greater efficiency, less waste, and total control.

How to do more with less? One bucket, multiple solutions
Every day on the job site, the question everyone's asking is:
"How can I do more with less?"
Where there’s material to process, there’s an MB Crusher padding bucket ready to roll.
Spain: Kaolin no longer crushed by tracks!
In a Spanish quarry, kaolinite—a valuable mineral used in porcelain, agriculture, and construction—was being processed using outdated and costly methods. Think excavators crushing it with their tracks or operators trying to break it apart with a bucket.
Today, the MB-HDS323 has revolutionized this process. It allows for the careful extraction, storage, drying, and processing of the material. The result? Superior quality material, perfectly selected and ready for immediate use. It's faster, cleaner, and simply smarter.
The French Alps: Pipe laying without the hauling headache
In the off-season, Alpine ski resorts stay busy. One French site faced a major challenge: how to refill snowmaking trenches high up the mountain, without hauling in materials?
The answer: an MB-HDS320 mounted on a CAT320, which screened the excavated material on-site — then reused it for backfill.
No transportation. No extra cost. No environmental damage.
Versatility, built right in
Two countries. Two climates. One attachment.
The secret? MB’s ingenious shaft system: swap rotors in minutes, directly on-site — no workshop needed.
Soil today. Sand tomorrow. Glass, green waste — it adapts instantly
What else?
- France: ENEDIS AUVERGNE used an MB padding bucket to sort spoil from reusable backfill for underground cables — no transport, just instant results.
- Germany: On Sylt island, an MB-HDS320 enabled on-site screening of sand, peat, and soil — saving money and protecting sensitive environments

New models. More power. Same simplicity.
The MB-HDS line keeps growing:
- MB-HDS407: For 3.5–9 ton excavators. Lightweight, compact, ultra-precise.
- MB-HDS533: 3.4m-wide, made for 50–80 ton excavators. A beast built for demanding tasks.
The Future Is Now: One Machine, Endless Possibilities
From Spanish quarries to Alpine slopes, from power cable trenches to remote islands, MB Crusher's padding buckets are revolutionizing how we work.
No more “a machine for every job.” Now it’s “one machine for all jobs.”
