Hib Tac

Today the Hibbing Taconite group went to the Hibbing Taconite facility. Here we toured the two crusher drive houses. We took measurements and pictures of the counter weight system for the lifting device we have to design for the counter weight system. We have spent the last few weeks talking to vendors that deal with lifting equipment. The three different types of lifting equipment that we are looking into are screw jack, cable hoist system and hydraulic cylinder. We also have been talking to vendors about equipment prices and what are the limits of the equipment. We will be preparing for a presentation in the coming weeks.
