COST REDUCTIONS AT A NICKEL MINE IN FINLAND

Arctic conditions and abrasive materials can put any machinery to the test. This is why we were excited to witness how Sleipner E400 dollies significantly increased the service life of the excavator undercarriage at a nickel mine in Finland. The improvement was so significant that even after 19,000 hours, the tracks were still as good as new – imagine that! In addition, excavator maintenance is now done at the workshop instead of at the pit. This improves safety and the quality of maintenance while protecting the engine and hydraulic lines from harmful dust.

MAINTENANCE COST REDUCTIONS AND FLEET OPTIMISATION AT A PLATINUM MINE IN SOUTH AFRICA

Multiple open pits measuring over 10 km (6 miles) in length pose challenges to any fleet management. At a South African platinum mine, there were plans to cut the dozer fleet from 13 to 9 units in order to fit in the maintenance budget. After using a Sleipner DB120 lowboy trailer for only 6 months, however, maintenance costs for the 13 dozers were reduced to below the budgeted maintenance budget for 9 dozers.

MOBILITY INCREASES EFFICIENCY AT AN IRON ORE MINE IN AUSTRALIA

An Australian iron ore mine used traditional transport methods for its excavators within its large geographical operations area. As a result, relocating the excavators often took a very long time – easily an entire working day. With Sleipner E400 dollies, relocations today are done within one hour – the time saved is close to an entire shift. And while the constantly hot Australian weather presents a special challenge, Sleipner E Series dollies are built to operate in any conditions.

IMPROVED FLEXIBILITY AT A LIMESTONE QUARRY IN THE UK

The production process at a UK limestone quarry required constant mixing of materials from different locations. The purchase of Sleipner E90 dollies enable selective loading and accurate material separation. The result was rewarding: a smaller loss percentage and significantly reduced relocation times.
