We’re proud to announce that IHC Mining has been awarded a contract to supply six portable cable reelers to FQM Zambia for their Kansanshi copper and gold mine. These cable reelers will be integrated with FQM’s electric-powered Hitachi EX5600-7E excavators, supporting sustainable and safe mining operations in Zambia’s North-Western province
The scope includes:
▪️Design, fabrication & corrosion protection
▪️Shop assembly & factory acceptance testing (FAT)
▪️FCA delivery, Cape Town, commissioning assistance & training
Product highlights:
🔹Roof sheeting for cable protection & reduced de-rating
🔹Scraper & brush system for cable cleaning
🔹Dual drum system, with feeder and main drum arrangements for optimal in-pit operations
🔹Radio Frequency (RF) controller enabling remote operation of the reeler to reduce human activity near the excavator 🔹Unique design for maneuverability & ground clearance
🔹Low maintenance = more uptime
This order reinforces our commitment to delivering smart, reliable solutions that drive the electrification of mining operations, for a cleaner, more sustainable future.
