MB Crusher marked its 25th anniversary at SaMoTer, the Italian construction equipment show held at Veronafiere in Verona from 6 to 9 May 2026. With a significant presence across the venue, including two indoor stands and an outdoor demo area, the company used the event to present new attachments and show several product lines at work.
MB-G940 S4 Sorting Grapple Makes Its World Premiere
Among the new products brought to SaMoTer, MB Crusher presented the MB-G940 S4 sorting grapple in its world premiere. The attachment is designed for material handling and selection on demanding job sites, where precision, control and quick repositioning are central to productivity.
The main features include simple and quick maintenance, power upgrade kits, replaceable cutting edges that can be changed directly on site, an inclined coupling system, sound-dampening on the opening jaws, optional accessories for different application areas and 360-degree rotation for accurate positioning during grabbing and sorting operations.
The MB-G940 S4 is aimed at applications such as demolition and renovation sites, road works and infrastructure, urban construction and confined areas where manoeuvrability is limited.

Optional Accessories and Application Areas
The optional equipment list gives a clear indication of the range of uses MB Crusher expects for the grapple. Options include multi-purpose blades, a clam shell kit, serrated side plates and profiles, grip improvement and rubber protection kits, a rotation power extender kit, a 12V electrical kit for 2-hose functionality and a remote power control system. The attachment is backed by a 24-month warranty.
Application areas extend beyond demolition. MB Crusher also indicates uses in pipelines, inert material recycling, waste management, agriculture and landscaping, and forest maintenance.
More Than One New Product at SaMoTer
Alongside the MB-G940 S4, MB Crusher showcased a demolition grapple line in five models and a new forestry pruner kit developed for the MB-P380 and the MB-G940 sorting grapple. By removing two teeth from a pulverizer-style grapple configuration, the attachment can be adapted for pruning and cutting in forestry and green maintenance, including work at difficult heights where reach and control are important.
In the demo area, MB Crusher presented three product families in operation: the crusher bucket line, the MB-HDS shaft screener buckets and the pulverizer range for rock crushing and heavy demolition work.
Among the equipment presented was also the MB-G400 S4, used in a lighter demonstration to uncork a bottle of Prosecco. The moment was designed to show the attachment’s grip control and precision before the more conventional material-handling demonstrations.
SaMoTer Also Marked 25 Years of MB Crusher
Beyond the presentation of new products, SaMoTer also marked MB Crusher’s 25th anniversary. The company’s history began in Breganze, in the province of Vicenza, from the idea of the Azzolin brothers, who were looking for a practical way to reuse inert material directly on site and reduce transport and disposal costs. From that need came the concept of a bucket able to collect and crush material directly on the carrier machine.
The first crusher bucket took shape in the early 2000s with the BF90.3, designed for excavators used on site. MB Crusher’s first presence at SaMoTer followed in 2005, while the first overseas shipment arrived in 2006, with a BF120.4 crusher bucket sent to the United Arab Emirates.
Twenty-five years later, MB Crusher has grown into an Italian manufacturer with an international footprint. The company designs and manufactures its attachments in Italy and operates through a global network that includes more than 940 dealers and reaches over 150 countries.
