The new mining equipment with a 90 t load capacity arrived at the production site of Korshunov Mining Plant which is part of Mechel’s mining division. The first six BELAZ trucks have already been assembled and begun working in the plant’s Rudnogorsky open pit. According to the company’s technical revamping program, over 90 mining and auxiliary equipment units, including trucks and excavators, will be supplied to the group’s mining facilities in 2018. In 2017 over 100 new equipment units were added to the fleet of Mechel’s mining companies.

“We try to use all financial instruments available to us to fulfil our investment program on increasing our mining equipment fleet, and we are grateful to our partner, State Transport Leasing Company, for their constructive approach. New BELAZ trucks will enable us to begin restoring iron ore mining volumes at Korshunov Mining Plant,” Mechel Mining Management OOO’s Chief Executive Officer Pavel Shtark noted.
