The battles are made up of two teams of 4 who need to bring a ball located at the center of the arena to the enemy team’s goal. From there, you’re thrown into a lobby with 7 other players and then you get to go to war. I stuck with the regular matches as I like to play more for leisure. There are regular matches, ranked matches, and challenges that are more competitive. When it comes to playing the game, you get the choice to play in a few different types of categories. I’m actually pretty relieved that I was wrong because there are some things here that set the game apart from others. I soon realized that HMM has way more mechanics that go with it besides just running into cars and trying to score points. After my first match though, all of that changed. I just assumed that I’d pick a vehicle that’s stats grabbed my attention and roll with it. They have also expanded their scope to service different industry sectors including many mining applications and large infrastructure construction-a list that continues to grow.I didn’t expect the learning curve that this game was going to throw my way. HME’s largest market is the Alberta oilsands, but it also operates across Canada and has more recently expanded into the United States. It has been a valued partnership for over 20 years now and we look forward to working together for many years to come,” says van der Werf. “HME has been strategic in developing the rental market, with Finning and Caterpillar being instrumental partners. In November 2022, HME signed a three-year parts, component and labour supply agreement with Finning to support its fleet of Caterpillar equipment. By the end of 2022 HME will have 58, 797 size haul trucks, with more to come in 2023. HME’s 1,000-plus-piece fleet is mostly comprised of Finning-supplied Caterpillar equipment from Cat 797 haul trucks to excavators, dozers, graders and everything in between-anything a mine operator or contractor might need. Now, thanks to HME, miners and contractors can add to their fleet without buying, if the economic benefits are there for utilization but not acquisition. Given the sheer size and cost of mining equipment, rental has not historically been widely practiced in the sector. It is an all-around win for everyone involved, especially our customers,” says Cheryl Gray, Finning’s vice president, mining. “Together, HME, Caterpillar and Finning have created a true partnership, delivering a unique offering for our customers, especially for those that prefer to rent their mining fleet. “We find that there are many situations where the equipment’s useful lifespan is much longer than the current needs on a project, and companies don’t want to buy equipment and invest in the infrastructure to manage, support, maintain, and dispose of it, if they don’t need to”, says Jesse van der Werf, president & CEO for HME.įinning has been an instrumental partner in HME’s growth journey, which has seen them quickly become one of the largest mining heavy equipment rental providers in North America. Heavy Metal Equipment & Rentals (HME), a Camrose, Alberta-based company, is helping to fill a niche in the mining equipment world-providing machine rental options that haven’t traditionally existed in the sector.
Heavy equipment is used to mine precious metals, materials for power generation and other important minerals needed for a wide range of everyday purposes like construction and making consumer goods including advanced electronics and electric car batteries, just to name a few. From mega haul trucks as tall as four-story buildings to hydraulic shovels that can effortlessly scoop up tons of rocks and dirt at a time-mining equipment is some of the mightiest machinery in the world.
