Overview
The MB-R500 is a 300 kg drum cutter for 3.5–11 t excavators, with a 450 mm cutting width, 5 000 Nm of torque and 60–120 L/min oil flow.
Precision cutting for small excavators
The MB-R500 weighs 300 kg and fits excavators from 3.5 to 11 t. Its 450 mm cutting width suits narrow trenches and detailed profiling, with 5 000 Nm of output torque.
A drum cutter grinds rock, concrete or frozen ground with picks set on rotating drums, driven by a hydraulic motor from the excavator. It cuts precisely to a line with little vibration, where a breaker would shatter surrounding material.
