In Zambia, Demag was awarded a contract to supply tank house cranes to the Mopani copper mine.
The crane manufacturer will showcase its innovative new V-Type girder crane at Electra Mining Africa 2016. The overhead travelling crane, which was launched in South Africa in March, has won many technological innovation awards since its initial launch to the European and North American markets in late 2014. The V-Type girder crane is the latest innovation in overhead crane design and offers major benefits when compared with a conventional box-type girder crane.
