Mining in a remove and harsh environment, Rio Tinto needed a company they could rely on to get the job done no matter the site complications, so they called Levanta and we delivered.

Our Solution

Levanta supplied an OMER KAR350-10 35 ton 10 metre Knuckle Lift 3 years ago to RTIO it has performed without any faults to date, and has only required standard annual certification checks. This hoist is used daily to lift prime movers, trucks, buses, various items of plant and some light vehicles.

Client Benefit
