MEILLER tippers take strain on and under South American roads; carry valuable cargo through Chilean mines.

Chile is one of the most prosperous countries in South America, and one reason for this is its valuable resource – copper – which is primarily extracted in the El Teniente mine in Rancagua, the world's largest subterranean copper mine. Estimates suggest that 100 megatons of fine copper lie underground in this location. A network of 3,000 km of drifts has been developed to access this valuable export, and around half a million tons of fine copper are produced from the ore mined each year. However, ore, rock and soil first need to be transported to the surface, and this calls for a haulage company with vehicles designed to do the heaviest of work and continuous operation.
