The Northern Cape has 75 global manganese deposits and produced 14 tonnes of manganese in 2017, 95% of which was exported. LiuGong machines have been actively operating in the region since 2015, supplying a wide range of products to many different manganese mines.
Manganese ore requires large equipment because it is 6 times denser than coal, so LiuGong’s popularization of 950E and 970E excavators backed by 877H and 890H wheel loaders now has a new business partner. The Liugong DW90A wide-body mining truck has been launched in the South African market and has achieved great success. So far, 12 trucks have been delivered in Kathu, and the other 8 are being shipped and are scheduled to be delivered in October. Customer Operations Management reports that the truck’s outstanding performance comes from optimized payload, fuel efficiency, operator comfort, and significantly enhanced service capabilities with LiuGong’s support.
Therefore, the aforementioned LiuGong machines, along with other equipment such as bulldozers, motor graders, road rollers and other compact machines, complete the fleet, from the purchase agreement, with their efficiency and “low cost of ownership”, more fully utilized current and future capital Invest. With more than 60 LiuGong machines working in manganese mines so far, this new customer already has 24 LiuGong machines in the fleet, including DW90A wide-body trucks.
