VIDEOS: MB Crusher's Most Interesting Demolitions of 2025

Demolition isn't just brute force — quite the opposite. It's about precision and control, strict schedules, and zero margin for error. That's where the MB Crusher demolition pulverizers come into play: tools that, across 2025's job sites, proved what it truly means to demolish with method.

According to MB Crusher, 2025 became its proving ground: historic city centers, urban regeneration projects and tight spaces. Different job sites in terms of context and complexity, yet all connected by a common thread — the demolition grapple used as a core working tool, not merely an attachment. This is where challenges turn into results while offering a glimpse of what is to come.

Three Floors Down, Total Control

In Sassari, the urban regeneration of the Sacro Cuore area began with the demolition of a three-story building on Via Mascagni. The site was located in a dense urban environment, surrounded by nearby buildings and requiring minimal disruption. On site was a Cat 323 excavator fitted with an MB-PT1650 demolition pulverizer. The structure was dismantled from the top down, floor by floor, ensuring full control throughout every phase of the demoltion.

From a technical standpoint, the MB-PT1650 proved suitable due to a system that ensures consistent closing force sensitivity and a Hardox steel structure. The result: greater control and enhanced safety in an urban environment.

Demolishing in City Center, Without Regrets

Same excavator, same pulverizer, but a completely different scenario. In Belpasso, in the province of Catania, demolition work took place right in the town center. Space was limited and precision was essential. The MB-PT1650's continuous 360 degree rotation allowed the operator to position the unit smoothly, working on beams, slabs and columns without repeatedly repositioning the machine.

Integrated rebar-cutting blades and interchangeable teeth enable the pulverizer to handle every phase of the job. In practice, a single attachment that demolishes, sorts and separates material directly on site.

Urban Deconstruction

In Villeneuve-sur-Lot, southern France, demolition formed a key part of the urban regeneration project in the Cieutat district. The goal: fast yet controlled demolition. Contractor Artebat chose a short-radius Doosan 235 LCR excavator paired with the MB-PT1650 — an good combination for working among historic buildings, narrow streets and restricted spaces, according to MB Crusher.

Here, demolition becomes an exercise in precision. The structure was dismantled element by element, minimizing noise, vibration and dust. The MB Crusher pulverizer's hydraulic system ensured consistent power management, while interchangeable kits allowed it to adapt to each phase of the job. In just a few days, the building was completely demolished, with minimal inconvenience to residents.

Heavy Demolition, Without a Scratch

In Vaucluse, France, the challenge was evident from the start: demolish a two-story industrial building attached to an inhabited house — without causing any damage to the adjacent property. Contractor Guillaume TP completed the task using an MB-PT1650. Each structural element was gripped and removed with precision, preventing unwanted stress on the neighboring home.

Once demolition was complete, the same excavator was used to crush the material on site. An approach that reduced transport, lowered costs and limited emissions. One machine, multiple operations and a more sustainable way of managing materials.

Unexpected Demolitions

In winter, job sites present unique challenges. In France, an old concrete swimming pool marked the starting point for a new renovation project. Mounted on a Doosan DX62, an MB-P380 demolition pulverizer proved ideal for tight spaces and sensitive environments.

The pool is dismantled piece by piece, following the irregular geometry of the structure and adapting to varying concrete thicknesses. The real strength of the MB-P380 lies in its control: the operator can precisely modulate power, gripping and demolishing material without transmitting unnecessary vibrations to surrounding structures. A key advantage when working close to existing buildings or systems that must remain intact.

Demolition Isn't Just Outdoors

There's still a misconception that demolition only takes place in open areas. In reality, modern job sites often tell a very different story, with an increasing amount of work carried out inside buildings during residential renovations.

In this Italian interior demolition project, the approach was almost surgical. Rooms were cleared, floors removed and internal structures eliminated, all while keeping perimeter walls intact and maintaining overall building stability. Here, the MB Crusher demolition pulverizer worked piece by piece, with controlled movements. Power was applied progressively, avoiding vibrations that could compromise the parts to be preserved.

The evidence from the field is clear: modern demolition is about control, selectivity and optimization. MB Crusher demolition pulverizers are not just demolition tools — they're working instruments designed for those who want to do the job properly, safely and efficiently, according to MB Crusher.

That's how 2025 comes to a close. And that's how 2026 begins: new challenges, new job sites, new solutions.
