How you can deal with material shortages on islands or remote locations
How hard is it to build roads on islands, especially when there’s a material shortage?
Everything can be simplified using MB Crusher’s units, because you can create roads without having to outsource the supplies.
With MB Crusher’s equipment, you can do so much more…
Changing how you use your exacavators is the solution to material shortages, even on remote locations such as islands.
How?
Using MB Crusher’s equipment turns any brand excavator into a mobile crusher capable of going anywhere, even to help develop areas where roads aren’t available yet.
Is your project delayed due to material shortages?
Is it hard to develop remote areas when it’s slowed down by material shortages?
Do delays in sea transportation delay the island’s infrastructure growth?
Here are 4 ways to avoid these invoneniences:
Create connecting roads
Conditions: there are no roads on some islands.
But if you have an excavator compatible with an MB unit, you can turn it into a real jaw crusher:
- Crush the large rocks quickly and then reuse them as a sub-base for new roads;
- Avoid transporting trucks full of aggregates.
Are you working on remote locations?
Building new houses
Popular vacation destinations, such as Greece, always need to build accommodations for tourists.
On Meganissi, a small island with a population of about 1,000 people, they used an MB Crusher unit to help build the villas. Mounted on a Caterpillar 329E, the BF90.3 bucket crushed rocks to create aggregates they needed for the houses foundations.
A huge advantage, since they eliminated the need to bring additional machines or transport materials by boat from a larger island such as Lefkada.

Rebuilding from rubble
In Puerto Rico, the old Costa Salud Aguada hospital was torn down and the crushed concrete was used as foundation when constructing the new hospital.
They stopped buying backfill and avoided taking debris to the landfill.
Use YOUR carrier machine
Do you only have a small excavator? Don’t worry, MB Crusher has a unit that fits any size excavator.
On one of the islands in the Stockholm archipelago, a Case TR340 skid steer became a crusher after installing an MB-140. The unit was used to crush stones and used it in landscaping:
- Without having to buy materials from the mainland;
- Without having to wait for deliveries.
If you have a pile of debris, use your excavator to crush it.
Islands are distant and isolated locations: by reusing what is available on the job site, then you can easily avoid the material shortages.
