A new crane has been installed in the rolling mill department of the Gurevsky Metallurgical Plant. Currently, installation and commissioning work is actively underway, after which the lifting equipment will be put into operation.
The crane was manufactured at the Ufa Crane Plant," explains Alexander Matveev, a leading specialist in the repair and maintenance department. "This is not the first lifting equipment from this manufacturer that is used at our plant. The new crane has several advantages: a convenient cabin with a split system, an anti-vibration chair, and joysticks that make control easy. This makes the work of the crane operators more comfortable. In addition, the metal structures of the new crane are stronger and more durable, which increases its service life. After the commissioning work, the specialized organization LLC "Stankoservice" will test the crane to sign the technical readiness certificate."
On August 5th, the children of Gurevsky Metallurgical Plant employees set off for the "Zvezdochka" children's health camp in Mezhdurechensk. Parents gathered in the square of the plant management to see off their children.
"The company not only provides discounted vouchers to the camp at 10% of the total cost, but also arranges transportation for the children," says Vladimir Makarov, a specialist in social programs. "We arrange for a bus that departs from the square of the plant management, accompany the children on the way, settle them in, and at the end of the 21-day season, we bring them back. We are glad that this year we managed to organize children's recreation. Last summer, due to the pandemic, such an opportunity was not available."
For reference: Gurevsky Metallurgical Plant has three main types of production: Martin, rolled steel, and ball rolling. The plant is a recognized leader in the market for grinding balls in Russia.
