Since those early days TAKRAF has provided hundreds of complete materials handling systems and individual machines to clients all over the world, in all climatic conditions.

Picture 1: Aerial photo of Ust-Luga coal terminal, Phase II with two stacker/reclaimers and belt conveyor system On the 4th of September 2007 TAKRAF was awarded with a contract to supply equipment for the third expansion stage of Ust-Luga (Russia) sea port coal terminal. The contract comprises the delivery of: - 1 ship loader with tripper car
- 7 conveyor systems for the wagon-tipper site and the sea site
- and diverse auxiliary equipment
All delivery items are designed for a capacity of 3,500 t/h.
With the realisation of the third expansion stage the terminal that certainly is considered as Russia’s figurehead for its coal export towards west, reaches a yearly handling capacity of 8 mill. t coal. The commission of the expanded complex is designated for Mai 2009, resulting in a very “sporty” lead time of 13 month for TAKRAF to supply and erect the major part of the complex.

The contract Ust-Luga III is the proof of the confidence TAKRAF’s customer lies in the company and the result of a long term successful co-operation between Krutrade AG and the port-operator at one hand and TAKRAF at the other. Furthermore TAKRAF is building a complete handling system for a new coal terminal in east Russia near Vladivostok, an ash handling system for a power station in Eastern Europe with a 4.5 km pipe conveyor as a key component as well as a large bulk handling system for iron ore in Brazil. This is besides the numerous bulk handling contracts TAKRAF is executing in Canada, Mexico, Chile, Peru, Australia, Kasachstan and Europe. TAKRAF GmbH
