Massive Cat excavators in Sri Lanka to accelerate port projects
View(s):With an operating weight of 90MT Cat 390D L Excavators are among the biggest Hydraulic Excavators in the world.
UTE achieved a significant milestone recently by securing an order for four 390D L Cat Hydraulic Excavators, which will be used to strengthen the ongoing Hambantota and Colombo South Harbour projects. The machines were handed over on April 10 at a ceremoy attended by officials of UTE, Caterpillar and China Harbour Engineering – the main contractor for these projects.
UTE has already supplied a large fleet of equipment to these projects last year, which included 6 units of 50 ton excavators, but this is the largest Cat machine which has been brought into the country to date. It is also the largest machine of this class manufactured by Caterpillar, the company said.
” CatR 390D L surpasses all other excavators in Sri Lanka not only by its gigantic size, but by its exceptional performance capabilities, proven reliability and durability which can increase productivity , while lowering operating costs too,” said Janak Edirisinghe, GM – Construction Machine Sales & Equipment Rental.
