MB Crusher has introduced its new MB-HDS220 padding bucket with one-tonne weight, suitable for loaders and skid steer loaders from 4.5t to 11t.

The rotor sifter bucket, which has a load capacity of 0.6m3 is designed to make work easier, reduce processing time and save on operating costs, the company said.

Its coupling system allows for ‘maximum freedom of movement of the carrier machine’, while the size of its inlet mouth (2.2m wide) facilitates loading by ensuring that the tracks or wheels of the carrier machine remain clean.

In June 2022, Mecalac introduced its new range of six compact loaders and, in July 2022, Sandvik said it had completed testing of Cat HVO capable engines on mining and construction equipment.

As with the other HDS models, the MB-HDS-220 allows the rotors to be changed easily and directly on-site by the operator. This makes it a versatile machine, with which different types of material can be processed easily and quickly, the company commented.

Designed for urban construction sites, gardening and landscaping, the MB-HDS220 padding bucket can be used for the clearance and clean-up of land from various demolition debris, stones or roots, while it can also air packed ground and topsoil. In addition, it is applicable for the selection of material for covering pipes or trenches and making the bedding, the statement concluded.

In September 2022, Continental launched its LD-Master L5 Traction construction tyre.
