From graders to graffiti, there is something for everyone at INTERMAT 2015. And if you need a break from the hustle of excavators and loaders, and the bustle of big construction deals, then what could be more relaxing than a little light music?
MB has developed a series of five demolition pulverisers, designed to fit excavators from 1.5 tonnes up to 25 tonnes. This is the first primary demolition attachment to be launched by the Italian manufacturer.
