Konecranes units and onsite maintenance scales new heights at Sino Iron

One of Australia’s largest crane installations at CITIC Pacific Mining’s Sino Iron project is benefiting from the safety, efficiency and reliability of Konecranes CXT and SM cranes.

 

Konecranes supplied a total of 125 units – a mixture of CXT wire rope hoists and SM winches from 1.5 tons -125 tons lifting capacity to the Sino Iron project, Australia’s largest magnetite mining and processing operation located at Cape Preston, 100 kilometers south west of Karratha in Western Australia’s Pilbara region. The SM winches, in 75t and 125t options, are generally used for process related tasks in the ball mills, aggregate mills and magnetic separators, such as loading new balls into the mill. The CXT monorail hoists handle the comparatively lighter loads and are generally performing non-process related tasks such as service and maintenance.

 

Konecranes’ world leading safety and efficiency technology is backed by local knowledge and support with over 45 sales and service locations across the Asia-Pacific region. The same technology is in service throughout the SE Asian region.
