an exceptional position to benefit from Peru’s expanding economy. Andrew explained, “Peru is a country of
30 million people, with enormous mineral wealth, that is in the premier league of high growth nations. Movitecnica is a company that has positioned itself to service the core industries such as mining and the industrial infrastructure supplying cranes and conveyors for minerals. The total crane market in Peru has grown from $8 million in 2009 to over
$25 million in 2012, so the potential is huge. We will be supplying from the UK our ZX hoists for lifting needs up to 50 tons and VX heavy duty hoists for handling loads up to 200 tons.” Street Crane’s extensive experience in supplying cranes and hoists for the mining industry and its support infrastructure was crucial to the deal. The company is already successful in Australia, Canada and South Africa where their robust and proven hoist designs give reliable service in the dusty and aggressive atmospheres and extremes of temperature common to mining and mineral processing. “Mines are often hundreds of miles from
cities so engineers need to be self-sufficient to keep plant running, this makes hoist design crucial. Street Crane hoists have unique features especially relevant in mining,” Andrew observed. “The open design of the Street hoist means that components can be easily accessed for inspection and service. Components can be removed and replaced without lowering the hoist to the ground for dis-assembly.”
[INDUSTRY NEWS] Uniquely, in the standard wire rope hoist
market, Street hoist brakes act on a hoist gearbox shaft not an extended motor shaft. This design also gives lower operating temperatures in the hoist motor because the heat generated by the hoist brake does not soak into the hoist motor. This provides significantly enhanced safety and maintainability compared to competitor hoists. Movitecnica engineers will be visiting the
Street Crane factory in Derbyshire soon for familiarization with the equipment. Company engineers will also be regularly visiting Lima to give on-going support. y
