The underground mine of the Gaisky GOK (the mining-and-processing integrated plant of the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company (UMMC) in the Orenburg Region) has received new mobile mining machines manufactured by Sandvik (Finland). The company purchased two load-and-haul machines (the load-carrying capacity of 14 tons) and a dump truck (the load-carrying capacity of 30 tons), as RusBusinessNews has been informed by the UMMC Press Service.

Besides, in 2015 the Finnish manufacturer supplied to the company a mobile underground machine for transportation of non-explosive components of emulsion explosives and a self-propelled underground machine.
