Zaporizhstal is implementing an investment program: a new loader has arrived at the blast furnace shop
The new front-end loader is designed for loading and unloading operations at the production sites of the blast-furnace shop of the plant. The machine has high technical characteristics - productivity, technological accuracy, reliability of the main units. The loader has a modern spacious cab with a wide view, it is equipped with an air conditioner with fresh air supply, a joystick for controlling the main operations. The efficiency of the new technology is an order of magnitude higher than the previous analogs: fuel consumption is 15% lower, and productivity is 14% higher.
