MB Crushers

How to grind the asphalt and create a tramway line extension without stopping the traffic.

A contractor had to create a 3 miles long tramway addiction. Through a busy city centre, without disturbing traffic and residents.

To satisfy these requirements he chose an MB Crusher MB-R700 twin header to trace the route of the new tram. The MB-R700 hydraulic cutter installed on a Liebherr 914 excavator made it possible to limit vibrations and its design to reduce noise pollution worked in favor of this urban project.
