Extra equipment 

It  is  possible  to  equip  the  MINIMAX  450-830  with  different  types  of  extra 
equipment. 
 

 

Cracker boards with bowed worn parts 

 

Gabions 

 

Light Sets 

 

Air brakes 

 

Hydraulic brakes 

 

Lift bar 

 

Cracker boards 

The clear advantages of the cracker boards are that the teeth can be moved 
individually so that they give after meeting resistance locally. This ensures a 
strong level of flexibility in the cracker board as opposed to a regular board, 
as the entire levelling process does not need to start over simply because of 
an obstacle.

Power 
Compared  to  a  regular  board,  the  cracker  board  does  not  require  as  much 
power, although a lot depends on the kind of work the cracker board is doing.
