From June 4 to 7, 2024, Novokuznetsk hosted the 32nd Ugol Rossii i Mining exhibition, the largest event in the mining industry. The general partner of the event was the PIR Group (Partnership, Investments, Development), the official distributor of heavy quarry equipment SANY Heavy Equipment. At its stand, the company presented the largest exhibit of the entire exposition - the SANY SET240S quarry dump truck with a lifting capacity of 220 tons. In addition, the company's development strategy was presented, in particular, an emphasis was placed on an integrated approach to solving customer problems: from service support to logistics services of the new PIR-Logistics division. Continuous improvement is one of the Group's key values, and it proves this not in words, but in deeds. The scale of the equipment presented at the exhibition is growing year after year. Thus, in 2023, the SANY SET150S dump truck was presented in Kuzbass. The vehicle had a lifting capacity of 150 tons with improved dynamics and an energy recovery system during braking, significantly reducing fuel consumption. This year, PIR Group broke its own record and presented an even bigger giant - the SET240S dump truck. The vehicle with a capacity of 147 cubic meters and a weight of 390 tons can withstand up to 220 tons of cargo, is equipped with three Weichai WP17 turbocharged diesel engines, two electric motors and an electromechanical transmission. The dump truck is quite easy to operate and can reach speeds of up to 65 km/h.
Along with large-sized equipment, PIR Group also provides Russian customers with other equipment: a 160-ton SRT95C quarry dump truck, SY1250H, SY2000H and SANY SY750H crawler excavators equipped with CUMMINS engines.
In addition, PIR Group offered its regular and potential customers expanded service support options: from ordering, delivery, warranty and post-warranty service to financial support for transactions. The company also recently organized a new division - PIR-Logistics, thanks to which customers now have the opportunity to transport SANY equipment and spare parts to any point in Russia more economically and conveniently.
Andrey Cherepanov, Head of Imported Special Equipment and Foreign Economic Activity at PIR Group, spoke in more detail about the comprehensive offer and further development plans. He spoke at the interactive session "New Times - New Heroes" on June 6, 2024:
"We at PIR Group know that in modern conditions it is vital for the client to understand that the distributor takes responsibility for the entire supply chain: from developing the required model at the plant to putting the machine into operation at the site. The planning horizon for such a process is at least 5 years, and we are ready to provide our customers with such guarantees," said Andrey Cherepanov, Head of SANY Quarry Dump Truck Sales at PIR LLC.
One of the largest Chinese enterprises, SANY Heavy Equipment, produces quarry and special construction equipment: dump trucks, drilling rigs, crawler excavators and cranes, truck cranes and other machines. The company ranks 5th in the world in its segment. Cooperation between SANY and PIR Group began in 2020, and impressive partnership agreements were reached in a short period. They allow the distributor to offer the domestic market equipment that is maximally adapted to Russian operating conditions. Powerful, economical and durable machines successfully operate at sites in Kuzbass, Yakutia, the Far East and other strategic mining regions of our country.
