Monte Kali, mountain air and tight curves…

How do you get parts of the system up to 26 m long through a 24 m curve radius?

K+S Kali GmbH in Neuhof also asked itself this question. On its spoil heap at approximately 500 meters above sea level, seven conveyor bridge system components were located. These components needed to be transported to the bottom of the heap, as the approximately 97-hectare, 116-million-ton spoil heap is to be filled from below in the future.

Here, too, CCBäuml had the solution ready. With a 7 m overhang to the front and rear, the components were loaded onto the crawler track and transported down the 2 km long dump track at walking pace. A magnificent view compensated the team for a 90-minute descent in cold November weather. Steep sections with gradients of up to 28% had to be mastered, as did tight curves. The most challenging bottleneck, however, was a hairpin bend with a radius of just 24 m. This had to be maneuvered in such a way that the overhang protruded forward over the 150 m deep precipice.

Thanks to the extremely tight turning radius of the tracked semi-trailer, this passage was also successfully negotiated. Once at the bottom of the dump, the components were unloaded. The tracked semi-trailer was then loaded onto our all-wheel-drive crane truck and brought back to the dump plateau, where the next conveyor bridge was installed. After 2.5 days of operation, all seven plant components arrived safely at their new destination.
