Access Freight Projects tackling another U&M project


Access Freight Projects has been working on another shipment for the Brazilian company, U&M Mining and Construction.

This particular shipment originated in Arizona, USA and was shipped via Houston. It comprises of 4 dismantled second hand Komatsu 930E earthmoving machinery. Even disassembled, individual pieces are very large - the highest being the canopies standing at an impressive 4.58 meters high, and the heaviest being the chassis' at between 44.7 and 48.8 tons each.

The Komatsu 930E was the first Ultra Class off-highway hauler built and introduced in May 1995 at a rated payload capacity of 310 tons. In 1996 it was upgraded to 320 tons with the addition of larger tyres through the 930-2 and 930-3 models. The Komatsu 930E is notable for being one of the largest models of trucks ever manufactured. Prior to 2005, it was the largest.

These trucks are en route to the U&M Mine in Chingola, Zambia where they will be reassembled and put to work on the copper mine.
