“We tend to assist with the
transportation, especially on the
export side, as this becomes part
of the total cost,” Sew-Eurodrive
South Africa export head Marcio
Sicchiero points out. “This is a
major cost driver that customers
often do not take into account.”
Commenting on the lead
time of the units, Steyn stresses
that the local stockholding has
been ramped up significantly to
be able to cater for such large
projects effectively. “This is a
distinctive competitive advantage
for Sew-Eurodrive, together with
our backup and maintenance
service offering, which gives
our customers the assurance of
optimal productivity at all times.
We are having to think smarter,
and look to customers’ holistic
needs in terms of a total solutions
approach.”
The DRN series is testament
to Sew-Eurodrive’s commitment
to innovation and technological
development, to help its
customers reduce their overall
costs. Spares replacement is
also a key service offering. “We
do not only supply complete
units, but assist with spares
provision as well, with the
majority of our spares being
ex-stock. This is of particular
importance in terms of selling
into Africa,” says Sicchiero.

Komatsu Mining has partnered with First Quantum Minerals to supply a
P&H L-2350 wheel loader for their operation at Sentinel Copper Mine in Zambia.
World’s largest wheel loader
destined for Zambia
Komatsu Mining Corporation,
previously Joy Global, has
partnered with First Quantum
Minerals to supply a P&H
L-2350 wheel loader for their
operation at Sentinel Copper
Mine in Zambia.
It is designed to achieve
greater operating hours due
to a robust structural design
and modular components,
and provides the best
possible fuel consumption
levels due to the power
regeneration capacity of
the Joy SR Hybrid Drive
Technology. The P&H wheel
loader also comes equipped
with the latest safety
features that meet global
requirements recognised
by leading mining industry
safety councils.
“The L2350 was selected as
our preferred choice for a loader,
as it is the only wheel loader
capable of loading our Ultra Class
haul trucks in use at Sentinel
Mine,” says Sentinel Mine general
manager Morris Rowe.
“Once operational, it
will provide us with a
supplementary loading
capability that will enhance
our flexibility to sustain our ore
feed at the correct quantities
and qualities. We look forward
to commissioning this mega
machine in December 2017, and
loading many millions of safe,
productive tonnes of ore with
the L2350 loader.”
