Grupo Mexico’s operations manager Armando Juarez said: “In an industry that demands the highest levels of safety, we chose this crane not only for its capacity, reach and flexibility, but because of its safety features. The lC-1 control system makes lifting and rigging simple and efficient for our operators. They welcome how it maximizes accuracy and speeds, and simplifies the way the crane works when handling even the most demanding of lifts. Rather than hiring each time, we wanted our own crane for more control and flexibility. The AC 350/6 means we can respond quickly and effectively to the day-to-day demands of the business.”
Grupo Mexico Mining Company is part of one of the leading copper producers GMexico. It currently has 13 mines in operation and is engaged in a further13 exploration projects.
