U&M Mining chooses Groeneveld lubrication solutions

With over 600 pieces of earthmoving equipment U&M operates the largest contract mining fleet of extra-heavy equipment in the country. Hitachi EX1200, EX2500 and EX5500 Hydraulic Excavators, and 100, 200 and 300 ton Cat and Komatsu off-road trucks, enables the company to handle over 400 million tons of material per year. This infrastructure is U&M’s solution for the implementation and operation of open-pit mines, both in hard and soft-rock mining. Groeneveld supplied to U&M its Greensight ultrasonic obstacle detection system for a large number of rigid dump trucks, to substantially enhance safety and provide comfort and security to the operators. Additionally, cost-control and reliability are crucial. This is where Groeneveld’s lubrication solutions offer the answer to the need for reduced repair and maintenance costs and enhanced machine uptime and availability.
