More Frannas for Mongolia

Mongolian copper and gold mine OyuTolgoi has taken delivery of three Franna MAC 25-4 pick & carry cranes from local distributor MSM group.

The 25 tonne MAC 25-4 articulated cranes feature an 18 metre four section boom and a short three metre jib for a maximum tip height of 21.5 metres. Weighing just under 24 tonnes, the crane can pick & carry its entire load chart.

The new cranes, which join five Franna pick & carry cranes already working in the mine, have been ordered with a number of optional features required for work in the mining industry and are equipped with an Ansul fire suppression system.

I would like to thank both Franna and our logistics team for successfully delivering the equipment despite the supply chain constraints posed by Covid-19, and our Aftersales team for completing all relevant modifications, installing the Ansul FFS retrofit and finishing the lifting certificate in a timely fashion and to the highest standard. Onwards and upwards!"
