Konecranes Supplies 125 Units to Sino Iron Project

Konecranes has supplied a total of 125 units of CXT wire rope hoists and SM winches to the Sino Iron project.

The project is Australia’s largest magnetite mining and processing operation located at Cape Preston, 100km 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.
