MSB Hydraulic Breakers
MSB Crusher & Screening Equipment
Turkish manufacturer — hydraulic breakers and demolition attachments for global markets
Overview
MSB Crusher & Screening Equipment is a Turkish manufacturer of hydraulic breakers and crushing attachments, founded in 1998 and headquartered in Istanbul, Turkey. The company produces hydraulic breakers across mini to heavy classes and also manufactures crusher buckets and screening attachments. MSB products are exported to over 60 countries across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas.
History
MSB was founded in 1998 in Istanbul, Turkey, initially focusing on hydraulic attachments for the Turkish construction and demolition market. The company expanded its product range through the 2000s to include crusher buckets and screening attachments alongside hydraulic breakers. MSB invested in export development and established distributor networks across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The company's international expansion was supported by competitive pricing relative to European manufacturers and a broad product portfolio that allowed distributors to offer multiple attachment types from a single supplier.
Key Technologies
Monoblock body construction
MSB hydraulic breakers use a monoblock body design where the cylinder and outer housing are machined from a single steel billet, reducing potential leak points and providing a more rigid structure compared to multi-piece designs.
Automatic stroke adjustment
MSB's automatic stroke system continuously adjusts piston stroke length based on material resistance, optimising impact energy delivery and reducing blank firing on softer materials.
Nitrogen accumulator system
MSB breakers incorporate a nitrogen gas accumulator that stores and releases energy during the impact cycle, maintaining consistent blow energy and frequency across varying hydraulic supply conditions.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Broad international distribution across 60+ countries
- Competitive pricing relative to European brands
- Full attachment portfolio (breakers, crusher buckets, screening)
- Monoblock body construction for durability
Limitations
- Lower brand recognition than established European or Korean manufacturers
- Less independent long-term performance data available compared to Epiroc or Rammer
Market Position
MSB occupies a value-to-mid segment position in the global hydraulic breaker market, competing with Korean manufacturers like Soosan and Daemo on price while offering broader geographic distribution than most Turkish competitors. The brand's multi-attachment portfolio gives distributors a reason to stock MSB alongside or instead of single-product suppliers.
