SAUR Wheel Clamps are being used in the Minas-Rio Pipeline Project

Two SAUR Wheel Clamps were sold to the company Bailac Thor Serviços em Pneus Ltda. do Brasil, which is headquartered in Chile. One clamp is being coupled with a forklift while the other is being used with a loader. Both are being used by Bailac inside the Anglo American company in the municipality of Conceição do Mato Dentro, MG, and are part of the Minas-Rio Pipeline Project, the largest iron mining project in development in the world.

Each one of the Clamps has a capacity of up to 11 tons and an opening between the arms that spans from 1,100 mm to 4,100 mm. They are used to move truck tires off the road. During the first phase of this Anglo American global project, the Minas-Rio pipeline will achieve a production capacity of 26.5 million tons of iron ore.

The project includes an iron ore mine and a processing unit in Conceição do Mato Dentro and Alvorada de Minas in Minas Gerais. It its 525 km long and crosses 32 municipalities in the states of Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro. It is the technology, quality and strength of this equipment that have made SAUR a part of this large and important project, which will contribute to the country's development.
