[NEWS] Chilean mining customer expands fleet with 23 Konecranes lift trucks. A Konecranes customer in Chile’s mining industry has placed a new order for 23 lift trucks. Equipped with specialized features and protection for harsh mining conditions and a comprehensive service and support package, the machines will be used for logistics operations at a major copper mine in the country’s north. The order was booked in Q1 2026, with delivery scheduled for Q3 2026. Chile is the world’s leading source of copper, making its mining industry central to supply chains for infrastructure and electrification. At the customer’s site, Konecranes lift trucks are already used for heavy material handling. The new machines add capacity to the fleet, bringing improved fuel efficiency and higher uptime. “Mining operations involve the frequent movement of heavy loads across sites, placing high demands on lift truck performance. This order shows how Konecranes equipment is built for the challenge. We’re proud to support logistics operations in one of Chile’s most important industrial sectors,” says Andres Ramirez, Regional Sales Development Manager, Lift Trucks, Konecranes. Konecranes’ local distributor Trex LA will be responsible for commissioning and aftersales support. Given the demands of large-scale copper mining, Trex Chile’s local presence and application knowledge were important factors in securing the deal.
