XUZHOU, China, Oct. 27, 2020 /CNW/ -- Leading Chinese construction machinery manufacturer XCMG (SHE: 000425) has delivered a customized fleet of GR2605 graders to Rio Tinto's mines, while activating the manufacture process of Rio Tinto customerized GR5505 mining graders.

The GR2605 grader model customized for Rio Tinto marks a new milestone as China's equipment manufacturing industry advances to serve high-end markets with exacting requirements.

Greg Courts, general manager of purchasing of Rio Tinto China, notes that the success of the GR2605 grader customization project is the result of the cooperation of both parties and a great achievement, and Rio Tinto believes that XCMG has the capability to produce world-class super-horsepower graders .

Through innovation-driven and excellent quality management, XCMG's GR5505 has won a stream of orders for super-large mining graders in both domestic and international markets. This model is designed for open-pit mines, heavy load bulldozing and landscape finishing amid other high load conditions.
