Liebherr-Ghana Ltd: partners for success
Liebherr-Ghana Ltd provides support for Liebherr mining machines in Ghana’s open-pit mining industry. Since its inception, the company has grown and now operates in several mining operations within the country.
In 2006, Newmont Ghana Gold Ltd (NGGL-Ahafo) purchased four Liebherr R 994B 300-tonne class excavators – two in face shovel configuration and two in backhoe. Since their commissioning, Liebherr-Ghana has provided technical services, customer training, maintenance and repair, onsite vendor held stock (VHS) and component remanufacturing at Liebherr’s in-country facility located at Asaman-Tarkwa.
In 2013, NGGL-Ahafo opted for an ‘Owner Operate’ model and subsequently purchased three Liebherr R 9400 400-tonne class excavators in face shovel configuration, with 17.5 m3 buckets. The company also continued to operate one R 994B, which has now surpassed 95,000 SMUs (hours of operation).
Liebherr-Ghana has provided a vast range of support and services to its customers for over 18 years. Safety remains a key value for the company, which has proudly achieved nearly one million work hours without a lost time injury.
LMG foundation and focus upon safety, along with delivering the highest quality of customer support, has enhanced its partnership with Newmont at Ahafo and Akyem Mine sites. To quote Mr Etienne Dupuy, LMG’s Managing Director Finance & Administration “we are extremely proud to be a trustworthy partner delivering competent services “year on year” on the principles of “open book”, transparency and responsibility”.
The Liebherr R 9400 excavator, with its class-leading payload capacity and a service life of more than 60,000 operational hours, is a high-performing and reliable partner for the long term. Thanks to its modular design, the R 9400 can easily be repowered, retrofitted or upgraded with the technology of the future. Plus, this hydraulic excavator can be equipped with Liebherr’s D9812 V12 powertrain, meaning customers only need one point of contact for their maintenance needs, therefore keeping this workhorse of an excavator working harder for longer.
