Kiruna Wagon AB is a Swedish company specialised in the custom design and manufacture of a new generation ore wagons. Kiruna Wagon was established in 2004 and is owned by mechanical engineering companies Nybergs Mekaniska Verkstad and Rönnqvist & Wettainen. The company headquarters and workshop are in Kiruna, the northernmost city in Sweden.
Products
NO-RG Fanoo
In May 2013, Kiruna Wagon received an order to manufacture 40 ore wagons for Norwegian mining company no:Rana Gruber AS. The NO-RG Fanoo, which is built for 30-tonne axle load, is a Bottom Dumper (BD) which empties its load through a large bottom door. The wagon is a further development and refinement of the wagon built for LKAB and designed to deliver low tare weight and high payload advantage and enable more environmentally friendly transportation. The NO-RG Fanoo is used to transport raw goods from Rana Gruber’s underground mine and open pit in Ørtfjell to the processing plant and port in Mo i Rana.
FAMMRR121
In April 2012, Kiruna Wagon entered into an agreement with international mining company Northland Resources S.A. to produce 150 iron ore wagons for the transport of ore concentrate from Northland’s transhipment terminal in Pitkäjärvi in Sweden, to the ice-free port of Narvik in Norway. Constructed mainly of high-strength steels, with yield strength of 700 MPa, the FAMMRR121 has a low tare weight to maximise payload and is designed with a body-turning solution for efficient, continuous discharge.
Underground wagons for LKAB
In December 2010, Kiruna Wagon is contracted to manufacture 121 underground Rock Dumpers for the transport of crude ore at LKAB’s new main level, 1,365 metres below ground. The drawings are provided by the customer, LKAB. The wagons are loaded through the ore-pass chute and emptied through effective bottom discharge, whereby the entire bottom of the wagon is opened in a discharge curve. The heavy-duty wagons are designed for rolling loading and discharge and have an unloading capacity of approx. 10,000 tonnes/h.
TAIMN091
In 2009 Kiruna Wagon received an order to manufacture 25 ore concentrate wagons for the Swedish mining and smelting company Boliden AB. Concentrate Wagon TAIMN091 is a closed container wagon for the transport of ore concentrate in an environmentally sustainable way. The 4-axle bogie wagon measures a little over twelve metres and has a capacity of carrying 73 metric tonnes, or 40.5 m3. The wagon is equipped with a roof for environmental reasons and is constructed for both left and right-side tipping. The subarctic climate influences the choice of materials and the wagon is made mainly of advanced high-strength steels.
FAMMOORR050
Kiruna Wagon’s largest order to date is the manufacturing of ore freight wagon FAMMOORR050 for Swedish mining company LKAB which commenced in 2005. The order constitutes Sweden’s largest wagon project to date with a total order value of SEK 800 million. The short-coupled FAMMOORR050 carries up to 100 tonnes, which is 25 per cent more than the previous generation wagons. FAMMOORR050 is manufactured in collaboration with Kockums Industrier in Malmö that builds the chassis. Kiruna Wagon is responsible for manufacturing the body and hatch system, and for the final assembly of the wagon. In September 2012, Kiruna Wagon delivered the 1000th wagon to LKAB.
UADk
In 2003 Kockums Industrier in Malmö, with Kiruna Wagon as subcontractor, was awarded the contract to produce 110 ore wagons of the UADk type for LKAB. The UADk wagon is a modification of LKAB’s earlier UAD wagon, built for 25-tonne axle load and with a capacity of transporting 80 tonnes.
Other products & services
Besides building wagons, Kiruna Wagon provides logistics solutions for loading and unloading ore, under and above ground.
