Indonesian coal giant, Kaltim Prima Coal (KPC), which operates the Sangatta Coal Mine, located in East Kutai Regency in East Kalimantan, has a fleet of 73 Volvo CE machines, including 65 articulated haulers and eight crawler excavators. The machines are vital for extracting and transporting overburden, fuel and water across the large site. If a machine is out of action, operations are interrupted and downtime costs money. That?s why Volvo CE?s dealer in the region - Intraco Penta Prima Servis (IPPS) - has deployed a team of trained technicians to be stationed on-site, offering round-the-clock repairs and maintenance.

KPC uses eight crawler excavators on site, including five EC210Bs, one EC210BLR and two EC330BLC Prime. Volvo excavators can be fitted with an anti-theft tracking system, which can demobilise the machine if necessary.
