Buckle up: MB Crusher takes off in a helicopter... and the work crushes itself!
Hold onto your hard hats! MB Crusher is taking the phrase "work smarter, not harder" to dizzying new heights—literally! Buckle up as we take an helicopter ride.
Imagine having to set up a construction site over 3,000 metres above sea level, with no roads and logistics that feel straight out of an action film. You need a smart solution—not just to get the equipment up there, but to handle all the material supply and disposal on-site.
Why battle through traffic when you can soar to the top with MB Crusher?
That’s exactly what happened as MB Crusher’s equipment was flown into the mountains, where meticulous planning is key. Missing supplies could take days to arrive, logistics are extreme, and the windows to get work done are tight—leaving no room for mistakes.

First stop:
The Mont Blanc Cable Car
In the heart of Mont Blanc, on the French side, at 3,300 metres, Pugnat TP faced a unique challenge: building the platform for the new Grands Montets cable car, a colossal project with stations designed by renowned architect Renzo Piano.
An exceptional site, without water and no direct access, with a tough mission: processing granite at 3,300 metres, reducing it on-site to avoid transporting materials and protect the landscape.
The solution? The MB Crusher BF90.3 bucket crusher, disassembled, flown up, reassembled at high altitude, and immediately fitted to a CAT 330 excavator.

Second stop:
Trench Filling in the Chiemgau Alps, Austria
At 1,776 metres, on the Dürrnbachhorn Mountain in Austria’s Chiemgau Alps, cables for supply lines needed to be laid, a logistically challenging operation. The rocks from the digging had to be crushed on-site and reused as backfill after laying the supply lines.
Transporting materials out and bringing new ones in is nearly impossible in such remote areas, both due to high costs and environmental concerns. The solution? The MB-L140 bucket crusher, flown directly to the site by helicopter, was ideal for the tight spaces and rugged terrain.
Once fitted to a Kaiser spider excavator, it crushed the rocks, which were then reused to fill the trenches—keeping everything local.

Third stop:
Reshaping and Protecting the Drogo River in Lombardy, Italy
Not only did MB Crusher buckets take a helicopter ride, but the latest addition to the fleet, the MB-G500 sorting grapple, made its way to the mountains of the Drogo Valley in Lombardy. Here, Fattarelli SAS was reshaping the riverbed and reinforcing the banks.
In such rugged areas, with steep streams and slopes, a spider excavator is essential. Nicola Fattarelli told us that to complete these works to perfection and in full safety, the MB Crusher grapple was an indispensable companion, helping with tasks like stacking logs and rocks along the stream to build embankments and reinforcement structures.
