In 2019 Austral Mining Services won the Yamana Gold Mine tender for on-site tyre service by offering efficient and safe mobile tyre service by means of an Easy Gripper 2400-2T.

Efficient and safe operation

Founder and CEO in AMS, Fernando Balart, says ”The Easy Gripper has helped us considerably, no doubt about that!"

“All jobs carried out on underground mining equipment - scoops and dumpers - are done with the Easy Gripper, which helps us better manipulate tyres with a 25¨ diameter.”

“The Easy Gripper gives our workers excellent ergonomic working conditions, and during the use of it we have realized, that the safety the Easy Gripper delivers has no comparison. Having 3 grip points generates a stability that is not found in other manipulators.”

“One of the greatest problems we have encountered is the confined space that exists in the work areas, where the tyres are mounted and disassembled. Having the possibility of changing one of the gripping pipes to a flat pipe gives a versatility that other manipulative equipment does not have.“

“We do not only use the Easy Gripper for mount and disassembly of tyres, but also for storage and stacking of tyres and tyre components. As of now we have only used the Quick Shift module to perform maintenance on the Easy Gripper, however we appreciate the ability to quickly being able to shift equipment to original forks.”

Our customers feel confident in the safety granted by the Easy Gripper, in addition to the efficiency that it has delivered in the work carried out on the dumpers and scoops.”

“We will have plenty of opportunities to use the Easy Grippers great features in several projects we have planned ... and we will continue to strive to employ it in order to make all our operations run efficiently”.
