Motek, a specialized OEM manufacturer of high-performance excavator attachments, has formally launched its newly upgraded MTL160 hydraulic crusher bucket after rounds of structural durability testing, hydraulic calibration and multi-region field pilot operations. Having passed comprehensive industrial quality certification aligned with international construction machinery specifications, the MTL160 is now officially available for bulk production and global bulk order delivery. Positioned as an upgraded mid-large crushing model within Motek's diversified crushing product matrix, this new bucket targets medium-sized demolition projects, medium-scale quarry aggregate production and bulk construction waste resource recovery, filling the product gap between medium compact crushing equipment and heavy-duty large crushing buckets and enriching the brand's full-spectrum attachment supply chain for international construction enterprises and machinery rental firms.
Differentiated from conventional medium-size crushing buckets circulating in the global market, the MTL160 is tailor-engineered to fit mainstream mid-range construction machinery widely applied in global urban engineering. Optimized for multi-model compatibility, it perfectly pairs with 11–16 ton standard excavators, 5–7 ton skid steer loaders and 7–11 ton backhoe loaders, seamlessly compatible with mainstream equipment brands including CAT, Volvo, JCB, Develon and other well-known global machinery manufacturers. Boasting outer dimensions of 1630×1300×835mm, an overall operating weight hitting 1510kg and a rated bucket volume of 0.35m³, the unit strikes a perfect balance between sufficient feeding capacity and flexible on-site maneuverability. Its refined structural layout allows stable operation on medium-sized construction sites, suburban demolition zones and restricted roadside renovation spaces; meanwhile, its standardized overall size cuts down extra transportation expenses and site transfer difficulties, helping construction operators shorten construction cycles and lift overall project profitability.
Centered on long service lifespan and heavy-load adaptability for harsh construction environments, all core stressed components of the MTL160 adopt premium wear-resistant structural steel. Key load-bearing frame, crushing cavity lining and inner replaceable wear plates are fabricated with NM400 and NM500 high abrasion-resistant steel plates. All components go through CNC precise blanking, robotic full penetration welding and whole-piece stress relief annealing processing, greatly boosting the bucket's resistance against intense impact, continuous friction and long-term structural deformation. The robust material configuration enables uninterrupted high-load crushing of hard limestone, reinforced concrete blocks, waste brickwork and mixed building debris, effectively cutting frequent wear part replacement frequency and lowering daily maintenance expenditure for end users and equipment leasing companies.
The MTL160 is equipped with a fine-tuned hydraulic drive system designed in line with North American and European host machine hydraulic design criteria. The equipment runs under rated working pressure ranging from 200bar to 280bar, demands system oil flow of 110–200L/min while controlling backpressure consistently below 5bar. The advanced low backpressure protection design effectively safeguards the original hydraulic circuit of matched host equipment from reflux-induced component damage, reducing unexpected equipment downtime and securing long-period steady running. With sustained powerful crushing torque, the attachment can efficiently process various raw materials including cobblestone, basalt, concrete scrap and mixed gravel, delivering steady processing efficiency whether in periodic demolition jobs or long-duration waste recycling operations under diverse geological and construction conditions.
Against the backdrop of worldwide construction industry's accelerated shift toward low-carbon development and on-site waste cyclic utilization, the MTL160 serves as an economical and high-efficiency attachment solution for global contractors, engineering teams and machinery rental operators. It supports full in-situ crushing and resource regeneration of waste building materials, converting abandoned concrete and waste rock into qualified recycled aggregate usable for site backfill, subgrade paving and terrain leveling. Users can save substantial costs on large mobile crusher leasing, raw material procurement and waste landfill transportation fees, fully complying with mainstream EU carbon emission reduction standards and local environmental governance rules. Since the completion of cross-country field verification, the MTL160 has gained extensive market attention from distributors across Europe, Oceania and Southeast Asia, with numerous preliminary orders secured thanks to its reliable runtime performance and outstanding cross-brand adaptability.
Moving forward, Motek will keep investing in R&D iteration of crushing, screening and mixing attachments, continuously upgrading structural design optimization, hydraulic matching technology and production craftsmanship. The enterprise aims to further improve its complete product lineup of construction working attachments. Adhering to the development philosophy of manufacturing durable, high-adaptability and cost-effective Chinese-made excavator attachments, Motek will keep delivering reliable customized equipment solutions for global cooperative partners and steadily expand its market footprint within the international construction attachment industry.
