SCHADE Lagertechnik

End of an anniversary journey

SCHADE machines have arrived in our decade and have found a home on every continent of the world. They are either newly installed or rebuilt for a long, powerful machine life.

The machines’ storage areas are often covered to minimise emissions, and truss constructions guarantee a lower weight with the same stability. SCHADE technology is still achieving record figures: the largest wagon tippler unit with two unloading lines empties 60 wagons per hour per line – that’s 4,200 tonnes per hour. In addition, one of the largest stackers is being constructed for a cement company. It will be 55 metres long, weigh 400 tonnes, and have a reclaiming capacity of 2,500 tonnes per hour. This will be pre-assembled and taken to its final destination on huge transport ships.

This, dear readers, marks the conclusion of our logbook, which has documented a 145-year journey. This achievement is the result of a significant amount of adventure, a great deal of pioneering spirit, and an almost boundless passion for very large machines. And this will not change at SCHADE in the 146th year of its existence. We promise.
