A coal mining operator implemented low-hour Komatsu excavators for initial coal extraction at an active site in the DRC.
Objective: To efficiently extract coal while minimizing operational downtime.
Execution: The excavators were deployed to dig and load coal directly onto trucks, significantly enhancing productivity. Their low working hours meant minimal maintenance issues, allowing for consistent operation.
Outcome: The operation saw a 30% increase in extraction rates compared to previous equipment used, demonstrating the advantages of utilizing well-maintained, low-hour machinery.
