Epiroc AB has won a large order for mining equipment from Mopani Copper Mines Plc in Zambia. The equipment will strengthen productivity and safety at two underground copper mines.
Mopani Copper Mines has ordered a fleet of Epiroc’s Minetruck haulers and Scooptram loaders. The machines will be used to boost production capacity at the mining company’s Nkana and Mufulira mines, which both were formed almost a century ago.
The order is valued at around MUSD 20 (MSEK 180) and was booked in the first quarter 2026. Epiroc will also provide service on the machines.
“Epiroc has a long history of delivering equipment and services to Mopani Copper Mines,” says Helena Hedblom, Epiroc’s President and CEO. “We look forward to continue supporting Mopani to optimize their operations, this time with our advanced mine trucks and loaders.”
The ordered equipment consists of Minetruck MT436 and Minetruck MT42 S haulers as well as Scooptram ST14 S and Scooptram ST1030 loaders.
Delivery of the equipment has just begun and is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
