Lauri talked to Peter Haddock at Bauma about the continued success of its nearly 30 year relationship with Cat Industrial Power Systems as it launches new products at bauma.
Lauri: “It’s about bringing together the best of both worlds, Sandvik drill rigs and Caterpillar engines. “This helps us deliver a powerful, reliable, and efficient solution for our customers who operate in some of the harshest environments in the world. “It’s also why our engineering teams work closely together to optimise the performance of our equipment.
When maintenance is required, we also work with the global Caterpillar dealer network to support customers all over the globe. With our new products, we have also focused on fuel efficiency, transitioning from the Cat C11 to the CAT C9.3 engine on our latest Pantera DP1510i top hammer drill rig, for example.
“This smaller, more efficient engine still meets the high power demands of drilling applications, whilst delivering significant fuel savings.” Lauri added: “And it’s not just about the engine alone, it’s about how every component works together as an integrated ecosystem. From fluid dynamics to load optimisation, every element is designed to deliver for our customers.
