The dragline base is a critical structural component of large-scale mining equipment, with demanding requirements for material strength, dimensional accuracy, welding quality and structural stability.

Shanghai Matsuo first delivered the project successfully in 2016. A further order was awarded in 2020 and completed in 2021, reflecting continued customer confidence in our fabrication and delivery capabilities.

The project marked an important step in Shanghai Matsuo’s expansion into higher-value mining equipment structures and strengthened our experience in the Australian mining market.
