With Rio Tinto: integrating mining solutions while guaranteeing quality
From cold, snow-covered plateaus to the extreme heat of open-pit mines in Australia, XCMG’s mining graders have won recognition in the open-mining market for their high quality and performance. In December 2019, XCMG successfully delivered nine customized GR2605 large-scale mining graders to Rio Tinto in Australia, marking another landmark since the brand’s cooperation began with BHP and Vale.
According to Australian standards and requirements, the customized GR2605 mining grader was set to 35 types of welds with corresponding procedures that fully guarantee welding quality and meets the requirements of the mining market.
