As more companies roll surface miners out to jobsites around the world, it’s important that best practices for configuring, operating and maintaining the machines are put into play. Doing so can help keep the machines running at peak efficiency — and help crews create the most tonnage possible every day on a jobsite — as well as protect machine uptime.

🔍 Have you ever heard about such mysterious-sounding safety requirements as ✔ FOPS, ✔ ROPS, ✔ OPS or ✔ TOPS? ⚠ They may sound odd but it is absolutely necessary to follow them while dealing with extremely harsh conditions. Like those you can observe in the mining industry to name one. What do they actually stand for though? It is not that hard really! What those initialisms or acronyms stand for is merely: 💡 Falling Object Protective Structures, 💡 Roll-Over Protective Structures and 💡 Tip-Over Protective Structures. Furthermore, all three of those are usually collectively referred to as OPS which stands for 🛡 Operator Protective Structures. What is more... 🥁 ... there other ones too! OHG for Overhead Guards to name one. Trust the experts in this matter: 💪 Komatsu 💪 Komatsu Mining #TOPS #FOPS #ROPS #mining #excavators #ProtectiveStructures

Heavy Metal Equipment & Rentals focus over the past 12 years has been serving the needs of its mining sector clients by ensuring that it has a fleet that can meet its customers’ needs. The company’s latest purchase was a new Komatsu PC 7000 hydraulic excavator supplied by SMS Equipment. While they have a long-standing partnership, SMS Equipment and Heavy Metal Equipment & Rentals’ relationship grew by leaps and bounds when the company purchased its first Komatsu hydraulic shovel in 2016. “We appreciate the Komatsu product from the large shovel side,” explains Clarence Boutin, General Manager of the Oilsands Division. “The 7000 is a very fast, highly productive machine, and there's also that balance between performance and what it costs to maintain. We find customers like it because of the cycle times, and we're able to maintain it efficiently. We've had good performance from our previous 7000, which was one of the reasons to continue down this path.” Learn all about how Heavy Metal Equipment & Rentals continues to grow and lead the pack serving Alberta’s mining sector with the latest mining technologies and superior service from SMS Equipment. #smsequipment #mining #excavation #komatsu #miningequipment #oilsands #Alberta #hydraulicshovels

LKAB, the largest mining company in #Sweden (and #Europe), relies heavily on rail freight transport along the #IronOreLine, which connects the #Swedish port of #Luleå to the #Norwegian port of #Narvik. However, the company is in dire need of additional capacity, and it is now considering the option of purchasing buses to remove passenger trains along some sections of the Iron Ore Line. #railfreight #railfreightnews #railcargonews

TEARS FOR TEARS: From constant drift to seamless alignment! Minera del Norte´s Cemesa iron ore mining unit in Mexico was facing serious challenges with #conveyorbelt tracking which was causing belts to tear and be replaced nearly every month. With the involvement of Martin Engineering, four innovative Martin® Trackers™ were installed, putting an end to the frequent belt replacements. Martin's Trackers, armed with a patented parallel steering system, automatically adjust the belt path, preventing drift, edge damage, and spillage. And the results speak for themselves – consistent alignment, no belt contact with the conveyor frame, minimal spillage, lower maintenance costs, and a satisfied customer!

🧑🏻💻👩🏻🔧 Kenichi Nagashima, Simplified Technical English (STE) evangelist, Komatsu Ltd. "As the global coordinator who creates and spreads rules to write Simplified English in our company, I am fully aware of the benefits of STE and have found the trainer's delivery on the subject matter to be very useful. Because I am not a writer, it is difficult to remember all STE rules. When there are any other important rules, rule 3.6 which promotes the use of active voice in procedural sentences making sentences easy to understand is my favourite rule. The rewriting workshop was very useful for me in two ways. I could recognise that the quality of our documents is not satisfactory, and I learned how to make them better. I feel that Shumin Chen has great ability to rewrite sentences in our field (construction equipment), and it is very likely that I will want to recommend this course to others." ▶️ Learn more about Simplified English training in your region: https://lnkd.in/gVsbUNeH #construction #mining #engineering #documentation #training #simplifiedtechnicalenglish #simplifiedenglish #technicalwriting

I think that the training was valuable and would recommend that my colleagues take the training either on line or in person. Being able to send a sample document and then working on it together using my new STE skills was very helpful and valuable. Shumin was extremely knowledgeable and gave many practical examples. I hope to be able to make use of the support period post-training." ▶️ Learn more about Simplified Technical English training in your region: https://lnkd.in/fWqkrRn #simplifiedtechnicalenglish #technicalcontent #technicaldocumentation
