Delivered to Phoenix mine, in Botswana, the giant crane was the third to be completed by Condra for a crusher plant associated with Activox, a project aimed at doubling Tati Nickel’s yearly production to 22,000t.
Two double-girder overhead cranes were delivered in February 2008, to assist with crusher plant construction. The cranes will work alongside the 140t double-girder crane as maintenance cranes after the plant is commissioned.
Condra’s latest delivery to Phoenix mine is the third-biggest overhead machine to be designed and manufactured by the company, and follows predecessors of a 150t and 125t maintenance crane, manufactured in late 2006 for the primary and secondary crushers at the Sishen iron-ore mine, in the Northern Cape.
