We successfully supplied and delivered a Sleipner E400 to Barrick Lumwana, followed by structured on-site support and maintenance training for the site team. The project focused on ensuring safe, correct equipment handover and building operator/maintainer capability from day one.
Sleipner’s ingenious, robust and mine-proven mobility solutions help you increase productivity and reduce costs. With Sleipner dollies and trailers, you can achieve up to an 85% reduction in transport times for tracked equipment compared to driving on tracks. Sleipner dollies and off-road trailers also significantly reduce the maintenance costs of the tracked equipment by doubling or even tripling the lifespan of the undercarriage.
The Challenge
Barrick Lumwana needed a deployment partner who understood that successful commissioning starts before the machine arrives and continues well after delivery. Their requirements were:
Safe, compliant delivery integrated with existing site procedures
Commissioning readiness with thorough inspection, functional verification, and complete documentation
Knowledge transfer to build internal maintenance capability and ensure sustained uptime
Our Approach: Delivery and Capability
We designed a structured two-day engagement that combined equipment handover with practical skills development, ensuring the Barrick Lumwana team could confidently operate and maintain their Sleipner E400 from day one.
Day 1: Safe Delivery & Commissioning Handover
The first day established the foundation for successful operation:
Site induction and safety alignment with Barrick protocols
Formal delivery confirmation and equipment walkthrough
Pre-commissioning inspection and readiness verification
Operator familiarization session covering key operational features
Collaborative Q&A with operations and maintenance stakeholders
Day 2: Maintenance Training
Day two focused on building practical maintenance competency through site-relevant training:
Routine care: Inspection points, service intervals, and preventative maintenance schedules
Operational safety: Pre-start procedures and critical operating checks
Troubleshooting fundamentals: First-check protocols and common failure point recognition
Best practices: Operator do's and don'ts, escalation procedures, and safety protocols
Documentation: Maintenance logging standards and recommended formats
