Mine sites and processing plants run heavy, remote and unforgiving, where a crane must place mill components, shovels, conveyors and shutdown loads on schedule no matter the ground. Kranes supplies crawler, all-terrain and mobile cranes with the capacity, transport and certified operation these sites demand, plus service and parts that travel to where the work is. Tell us the lift, the access and the timeline, and we quote the crane and crew to land it safely.
Mining and resource lifting happens where the loads are largest and the conditions worst — mill components, crushers, shovels, conveyors and shutdown assemblies set on unpaved, remote ground. Crawler cranes spread their weight to pick heavy on soft footing and travel with the load; all-terrain and rough-terrain cranes reach remote pads on their own power; and high-capacity mobile cranes cover the scheduled heavy picks a turnaround is built around.
Kranes supplies these crawler, all-terrain and mobile cranes with the capacity, transport and certified operation a mine demands, and follows them with service and parts that travel to where the work is. Shutdowns and turnarounds run on a fixed clock, so the crane and crew are mobilised to land the lift inside the window rather than hold up the restart. One supplier covers the rental, the operation and the support across a remote campaign.
Every mine lift starts with the heaviest component, the radius, the ground bearing and the access road in. Send those and Kranes returns the crane class, the rigging, the transport plan and the certified crew to execute it safely on difficult footing. Because access is the hard part, mobilisation and ground preparation are planned up front so the machine arrives able to stand and pick where the work actually is.
Heavy lifts in a hazardous environment leave no room for an uncertified machine, so every crane and operator is documented to CSA and provincial standards. Kranes keeps the service and parts behind the fleet through a remote shutdown, so a failure does not strand a restart. Tell us the lift, the access and the timeline, and we quote the crane and crew to land it safely, wherever the site is in Canada.
