LKAB Signs for Iron Ore Mine Loaders
12/11/2023 - Swedish iron ore miner LKAB has placed a SEK250 million order with Sandvik for automated loaders that will be installed at an underground iron ore mine.
That order, coupled with a preceding SEK120 million order, provide for 12 Toro™ LH625iE cable-electric loaders and five Toro LH621i loaders. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in January 2024 and continue through the end of 2025.
“We are proud of our long-standing partnership with LKAB and very pleased to again provide new automated loaders to the Kiruna mine. The very strong performance of our automated loaders is well-proven in the Kiruna mine, and we look forward to continuing to support LKAB’s goals to mine more sustainably and productively,” said Mats Eriksson, president of Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions.
