Finning UK & Ireland has built and delivered a Cat 988 wheel loader to Compass Minerals' salt mine in Winsford, Cheshire, UK. The machine was assembled underground due to shaft size constraints.

“The Cat 988 is designed for demanding environments, and is expected to deliver up to 15% fuel savings, as well as achieve multiple lifecycles – essential for Compass Minerals’ 24/7 operation.”bdcmagazine.com
