Ok Tedi Mining Limited has launched the first and largest front wheel loader in Papua New Guinea: a Cat 995 Large Wheel Loader. The new machine will allow the miner to increase production capacity and meet growing market demands.
“The Cat 995 is up to 23% more productive than the Cat 994 Wheel Loader, while the company has been using the smaller Cat 993 loader for almost four decades. Cat 995 has a more powerful engine, higher-rated payload, and efficient hydraulic system that allows for fast cycle times and higher production which is efficient for our operations,” explained OTML Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Kedi Ilimbit.
The Cat 995 LWL was purchased earlier this year from Hastings Deering, a Caterpillar equipment dealer. Ok Tedi has the second of the first three Cat 995 LWL models built worldwide.
