An innovative crusher bucket solution improves productivity and overcomes logistical challenges in high-altitude road construction.

In a ground-breaking step that will alter road construction in remote and difficult terrains, MB Crusher successfully outfitted a top road contractor in Leh with its adaptable and highly efficient Crusher Bucket. This ingenious method allowed the contractor to navigate the difficult climate and logistical challenges of Leh, ensuring the timely completion of two critical road projects totalling 19 kilometres.

Leh, famed for its magnificent vistas and harsh weather conditions, poses unique obstacles to infrastructure development. The road contractor, tasked with building two essential roads—one 7 kilometres and the other 12 kilometers—faced tremendous challenges due to the isolated location, lack of local infrastructure, and a limited operating season of only 4-5 months each year. Traditional fixed crushers were not a viable choice due to the complexity of putting up in such terrain and the lack of nearby crushing facilities.

MB Crusher’s solution
MB Crusher, a global pioneer in crushing and screening equipment, presented the contractor with a cutting-edge crusher bucket. This attachment, which works with the contractor’s current Tata Hitachi Z-axis 220 and Komatsu PC 210 base equipment, proved to be a game changer. The MB Crusher Bucket was designed to crush hill rock into the necessary output size of less than 60 mm, allowing for on-site material processing without the need for transportation to distant crushing plants.

What was the result? A significant improvement in productivity, with the Crusher Bucket producing a continuous output of 20-25 TPH (Tonnes Per Hour), ensuring that projects are completed on time despite tight deadlines.

Key benefits of the MB Crusher Bucket:

• Mobility and versatility: The MB Crusher Bucket is easily linked to the contractor’s base machinery and provides unrivalled mobility, making it suitable for Leh’s difficult terrain.
• Efficiency in extreme conditions: Designed to operate in harsh settings, the Crusher Bucket efficiently processes challenging materials, giving the contractor with high-quality output on-site.
• Cost-effectiveness: The Crusher Bucket saves money and decreases environmental impact by processing materials on-site.
• User-friendly operation: The Crusher Bucket’s simple, intuitive design provides quick adaption by the Excavator operator, reducing downtime and increasing productivity. 1 Excavator + 1 Operator + MB = On-Site Crushing Solution.

Transforming road construction in remote areas
The successful implementation of MB Crusher’s novel solution in Leh is a watershed moment in road construction, particularly in remote and difficult places. This instance shows how advanced technology can overcome logistical problems, increase efficiency, and provide high-quality infrastructure in the most demanding environments.
