MB Crushers’ MB-G Grapple Essential For Demolition Work

Hand precision but tears and disassembles like a machine, said three of our customers—operators of earth-moving equipment who demolished buildings.

All had the same objective - to demolish and recover as much material as possible in total safety - and with the same type of equipment: an MB Crusher sorting grapple.

Hand Precision

Demolishing a 1940s farmhouse, which is unfit for use and unsafe, involves complexities. Michele Foglia of Effe Emme Edilizia is well aware of this. Instead of the classic demolition grapple, he chose an MB Crusher MBG900 grapple. He mounted it on a Kobelco to demolish the structure from start to finish. Rather than knocking it down, he dismantled it piece by piece and, with the MB Crusher grapple. He immediately recovered all the materials - floors, beams - to be disposed of. And still man- aged to recover the limestone to be reused for constructing a new building. The MB-G grapple grasped the materials with extreme delicacy and agility, allowing work to be safe both on the building site and on the street side. “We had a great time: it was exact in dismantling the structure, and it worked nimbly. We are amazed that we managed to demolish an entire house with a grapple!”

Secures And Disassembles

The claws’ high clasping force allows recovery without destruction, thus safeguarding materials that can be reused. This detail prompted Gianluca Venturuzzo of the Venetian company Trevisan Carlo &C. to use MB Crusher’s MB-G1200 for several jobs, notably the demolition of a prefabricated building with insulated panels and iron and a 1950s farmhouse.

“It is a very practical piece of equipment, simple and quick to use. It has very intuitive controls for opening and closing the claws and rotating the equipment itself. For example, in the disassembly, I could take several wooden beams at a time, making the work considerably faster.

Like In A Science Fiction Film

Roberto Chiappelli from Friuli also chose the MB Crusher MB-G900 because it allows him to do precise work quickly. “It allows you to grab materials just like a hand. It is as if before I was reduced to having one finger. Now I have the feeling of having two fingers and therefore being able to grasp what I want. Having been in the business for many years, I can testify that a long time ago such equipment would have been pure science fiction.

The fact is that dismantling the structures piece by piece already sorts and separates the materials that can be recycled, those that must be disposed of, and those that can be reused on the con- struction site. This saves time and, consequently, cuts costs. If versatility, safety, and speed are the motto on the job site today, then having an extra ‘hand’ makes everything easier. All MB Crusher’s MB-G grapple models are equipped with a safety valve (which keeps the grapple closed in the event of a leak in the oil circuit). Some are also fitted with the silent block that allows the grapple to be used even in areas where noise needs to be under control, i.e. on all those construction sites in city centers or densely populated areas.

Support For Critical Mineral Exploration In Newfoundland And Labrador

Initiatives will provide new data and incentives to accelerate industry growth

Critical minerals are an essential component of many renewable energy and clean technology applications, and are vital to building Canada’s green and digital economy. That is why the Government of Canada, along with the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, is providing support to help the province’s mining sector to grow and meet an increasing global demand for critical minerals.

The Honourable Seamus O’Regan Jr., Minister of Labour and Member of Parliament for St. John’s South-Mount Pearl, recently announced an investment of $5.2 million over the next three years for the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador to deliver two new critical mineral initiatives focused on geoscience and exploration activities.

“Newfoundland and Labrador has 24 of Canada’s 31 critical minerals. These are the minerals we need for EVs, solar panels, and clean tech,” stated the Honourable Seamus O’Regan Jr., Minister of Labour and Member also be equipped with various accessories that make it even more versatile and easy to use. And there is one for every model and size of operating machine, from the smallest to the largest. SP

The announcement was made on behalf of the Honourable Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Minister of Official Languages and Minister responsible for ACOA.

“Atlantic Canada has an important role to play in developing sustainable industries and contributing to the digital economy,” stated the Honourable Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Minister of Official Languages and Minister responsible for ACOA. “This investment will help ensure that more critical mineral exploration and development moves forward, which will contribute to clean growth and support this region’s mining industry.”

In addition, the Honourable Andrew Parsons, provincial Minister of Industry, Energy and Technology, announced $4.6 million in support from the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador through its existing Junior Exploration Assistance pro-

“The rise of critical minerals presents a real opportunity for Newfoundland and Labrador with this province’s tremendous critical mineral potential,” said the Honourable Andrew Parsons, provincial Minister of Industry, Energy and Technology. “Support for exploration is necessary to expand our future critical mineral production and participation in the creation of those products necessary to drive the transition to a green economy.”

These investments support an airborne geophysical survey program to help identify areas in the province for potential critical mineral exploration. The surveys will capture data remotely from areas where the geology is not well understood due to poor bedrock exposure.

The funding will also provide increased support for eligible junior exploration companies looking for critical minerals in Newfoundland and Labrador through a new component of the provincial government’s Junior Exploration Assistance Program.

This announcement highlights the Government of Canada’s commitment to strenghtening the mining industry, one of Canada’s most important economic sectors and an essential part of transitioning to a greener economy. SP
