GACW
Following the initial trial , GACW moved on to the United States – it was crunch time for the ASW as it faced its most demanding tests . “ In America , we have been going through rounds of much more destructive testing , pushing the wheels to their very limits ,” reflects Harmen . “ Along the way , we have been making final minor improvements , resulting in the best wheel we can possibly produce .”
Getting the most formidable wheel made is something GACW will not cut corners on , and that means investing heavily in collaboration . “ We team up with strong partners , because at our heart we are an engineering firm ,” insists Harmen . “ We are proudly working with the best cylinder manufacturer , the best wheel manufacturer , and the best compound manufacturer . These entities combine to deliver the best wheel possible – a wheel that can fundamentally change how organisations approach mining .” miningglobal . com 35
