This achievement strengthens the logistics required to lift, move, and position heavy or oversized loads safely and with full operational control.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"font-ligatures-none whitespace-pre-wrap\">Specialists in the area carried out intervention work on electrical, electronic, and hydraulic systems; installed new diesel engines, lighting and telescopic systems; and replaced cylinders and tires, leaving both cranes fully operational in the industrial area of Puerto Ordaz.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"font-ligatures-none whitespace-pre-wrap\">According to the Annual Crane Recovery Plan of the Heavy Equipment Management Division, the state\u2011owned mining company is also planning the rehabilitation of three additional units\u201430\u2011ton, 40\u2011ton, and 300\u2011ton cranes\u2014to meet the material\u2011handling needs of the Ciudad Piar operational center with greater precision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"font-ligatures-none whitespace-pre-wrap\">The recovery of equipment is part of the strategic management lines led by CVG Ferrominera Orinoco President Aldo Cantafio, with the support of CVG, aimed at strengthening response capacity in lifting operations for oversized and heavy components, replacing conveyor belts, and mobilizing rolling equipment along the railway line. These improvements reduce downtime and equipment inactivity within the production process, directly contributing to the company\u2019s operational efficiency.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ferrominera Orinoco restores two heavy\u2011duty cranes and advances its recovery plan to strengthen lifting, maintenance, and logistics operations in Puerto Ordaz and Ciudad Piar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":196,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6,5],"tags":[7,49],"class_list":["post-191","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ferrominera-al-dia","category-noticias","tag-fmo","tag-recuperacion-de-gruas"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ferrominera.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ferrominera.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ferrominera.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ferrominera.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ferrominera.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=191"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/ferrominera.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":549,"href":"https:\/\/ferrominera.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191\/revisions\/549"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ferrominera.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/196"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ferrominera.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=191"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ferrominera.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=191"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ferrominera.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=191"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
