Official Hand-Over of the first two 6020B Hydraulic Mining Shovels in Burkina

After assembly, commissioning and training, JA Delmas and Burkina Equipements  recently  had the pleasure of inviting the Nordgold  Management to the official delivery of the first two 6020B hydraulic Mining Shovels!

Both 6020Bs were delivered to the Nordgold mining group for the Bissa Gold mine, located north of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

The CAT 6020B hydraulic mining excavator is a brand new model in the extensive range of Cat hydraulic mining excavators. This excavator is characterized by a payload capacity of 24 tonnes and an operational weight of 230 tonnes, for a perfect match with the777 mining trucks for optimized loading and hauling.

The Burkina Equipements team was responsible for assembling and commissioning these machines, as well as for the training provided.

In order to assist the customer, the necessary technical support is available on site.

A team of engineers is implementing a continuous monitoring plan, including best practices designed to achieve the best performance levels of these excavators.

These excavators already achieve production records while lower fuel consumption over previous models has been recorded. These results are the direct benefits of the new design of the hydraulic system coupled with the built-in technology.

These performances establish this model as the leader in its class in West Africa.

This event brought together the management of the Bissa site and the Caterpillar, JA Delmas and Burkina Equipements teams.
