The next time we hear about the units is when they need new parts. The parts that we don\u2019t know about is how the company is enjoying the bucket, if the team gave them the chance to expand their services, or if the attachment has not only come in handy but was the reason they were able to take on a more complex and arduous job. We also love hearing about our buckets doing \u201cmundane\u201d things, such as bringing their waste materials to their yard to create a stock for future projects. It\u2019s why, with so many uses available to our clients, we\u2019re always excited to hear about their experiences or plans. And naturally, we want to share their stories!<\/p>\n<p>At World of Concrete 2021, we ran into two of our customers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Frank Burkhardt Nellis Air Force Base<\/strong> <strong>from Nevada<\/strong>, who has owned BF80.3 crusher bucket since 2017<\/li>\n<li><strong>Paul Wegner from Valley Paving from California<\/strong>, who purchased the MB-L120 crusher bucket back in 2019<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Valley Paving<\/strong> has been a family business operating in the paving industry for about 40 years, with Paul at the helm since 2006. Before we met Paul at World of Concrete 2019, he had seen the bucket before, \u201c<em>thought it was great [and] never saw anything like it<\/em>.\u201d But once he saw the crushers on display and demoed at the trade show, he decided to buy a crusher for their waste.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3301\" style=\"width: 360px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3301\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3301\" src=\"https:\/\/www.attachmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Paul-Wegner-from-Valley-Paving-b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"197\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.attachmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Paul-Wegner-from-Valley-Paving-b.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.attachmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Paul-Wegner-from-Valley-Paving-b-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3301\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paul Wegner, Valley Paving<\/p><\/div>\n<p>With their crusher, Paul says they \u201c<em>mainly use it in [their] equipment yard<\/em>,\u201d using trucks to haul materials such as concrete, asphalt, bricks, or other spoils, to their yard. Since they \u201c<em>only crush [waste materials] in [their] yard and reuse the base<\/em>,\u201d they\u2019ve eliminated the need \u201c<em>to pay to dump it to a quarry and recycle<\/em>.\u201d By crushing materials at their yard, they\u2019ve boosted their profit margin and do very little to almost no material hauling, and created their aggregates for road base.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to their crusher, they&#8217;ve saved a lot of money from transportation, fuel to their trucks&#8217; wear and tear. When we asked Paul exactly how much money they saved using their crusher over the years, Paul told us that with the thirty truckloads they used to make every week, they save roughly $300 per 13 tons. Now, they&#8217;re looking to buy a larger MB-L unit to continue saving money!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/586334530\"><strong>https:\/\/vimeo.com\/586334530<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Nellis Air Force Base<\/strong> is located in Nevada, specifically in the Las Vegas area. When we got the opportunity to speak to Frank, we were ecstatic to hear from a customer who has owned one of our crushers for almost half a decade. Similar to Paul, Frank had been interested in our crusher buckets before seeing the crusher buckets\u2019 capabilities at World of Concrete. After seeing the crushers at the trade show, they purchased and have used the crusher since!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3302\" style=\"width: 360px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3302\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3302\" src=\"https:\/\/www.attachmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Frank-Burkhardt-Nellis-Air-Force-Base-b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"197\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.attachmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Frank-Burkhardt-Nellis-Air-Force-Base-b.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.attachmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Frank-Burkhardt-Nellis-Air-Force-Base-b-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3302\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Frank Burkhardt, Nellis Air Force Base<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Having almost five years of using the crusher under their belt, Frank told us that the unit has been \u201c<em>pretty awesome so far<\/em>\u201d and that <em>\u201c[they] love it<\/em>\u201d for their concrete crushing and recycling. Frank mentions one of the most significant benefits they\u2019ve had with their crusher was the unit took away using trucks to dispose of the materials. Any transporting they need to do only goes to one place: the base\u2019s self-titled \u201ctraining site,\u201d where they process the concrete.<\/p>\n<p>After creating their aggregates, they take the materials and use them all over their base, using them for their ditch-ways, cover for their smaller projects, and plans to use them when they create concrete. Since they use their aggregates for various things, they require a wide array of output sizes, ranging from 5 to a 2-inch minus, which is a job perfect for the BF80.3 crusher bucket. The unit can create different-sized aggregates ranging from \u00bc of an inch or 5 inches. When we asked about him how much they&#8217;ve saved, Frank said they&#8217;d saved roughly $100k by reducing how far their trucks needed to travel and the subsequent fuel costs that come with it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/586332288\"><strong>https:\/\/vimeo.com\/586332288<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When we were designing our crusher buckets, MB Crusher had one goal: to help our customers reduce their waste.
