The MBA has been designed to break/crack metallic pipes in situ, which would usually be carrying gas, water or effluent
The attachment can safely handle products from 2 inches up to 10 inches in diameter
The G-Clamp design reduces likelihood of accidental damage to surrounding pipes

The Mini and Mid MBA is powered through an external power supply and operated manually, allowing for more precise control
The Mid and Max MBA models are attachments that fit onto an excavator in place of the bucket, and are hydraulically operated from inside the cab of the excavator
