Description

[0029] For better illustration, an example of an embodiment is described below with reference to the figures.

[0030] FIG. 1 a schematic perspective view of the slag transporter 1, wherein the lifting device 4 is set to the lowest height;

[0031] FIG. 2 a schematic perspective view of the slag transporter 1, with the lifting device 4 set to the highest height;

[0032] FIG. 3 a schematic perspective view of the slag transporter 1 with two lifting drives 5 and two lifting devices 4;

[0033] FIG. 4 a schematic perspective view of the slag transporter 1, wherein the receiving device 6 has a recess 14, two lifting devices 4 and two lifting drives 5.

[0034] FIG. 5 a schematic perspective view of the transport system 8, wherein the slag transporter 1 is positioned below the metallurgical transport container 9 and the metallurgical transport container 9 is spaced from the floor by two walls 12;

[0035] FIG. 6 a metallurgical transport container 9 spaced from the ground by support legs 11.

[0036] FIG. 1 shows a slag transporter 1 with a drive, a chassis 2 with two crawler tracks, whereby only one crawler track 3 can be seen. The crawler track 3 and the concealed crawler track are arranged parallel to each other. Furthermore, the slag transporter 1 has a receiving device 6 which has a substantially flat receiving surface 7. In this case, the receiving device 6 is set to the lowest height so that the slag transporter 1 can be positioned below the metallurgical transport container without coming into contact with the metallurgical transport container. The drive as well as the lifting device with at least one lifting drive are arranged in the slag transporter 1 and are not shown in the FIG. 1. The slag transporter 1 is designed to pick up and transport a load of up to 100 mt.

[0037] FIG. 2 shows the slag transporter 1 of FIG. 2 with the receiving device 6 having reached the maximum height. In this position, the slag transporter 1 has lifted the metallurgical transport container and can transport it. The height of the receiving device 6 can be adjusted from 1 cm to 60 cm.

[0038] FIG. 3 schematically shows the slag transporter 1 together with two internal lifting drives 5 and lifting devices 4, parts of the lifting devices 4 being covered by the crawler track 3. Another two lifting drives and lifting devices are located on the opposite side and are covered by the illustrated lifting drives 5 and lifting devices 4. A crawler track 3 is shown obscuring the drive on the opposite side. The crawler tracks are aligned parallel to each other. The receiving device 6 is set to the lowest height and can be adjusted in height purely by translation.

[0039] FIG. 4 shows the slag transporter 1 with a drive, a chassis 2 with two crawler tracks 3, whereby only one crawler track is visible. The crawler track 3 and the concealed track are arranged parallel to each other. The receiving device 6 has a recess 14. The lifting drive 5 and the lifting device 4 are partially concealed by the receiving device 6. The pickup device 6 is set to the lowest height.

[0040] FIG. 5 shows the transport system 8 with the slag transporter 1 with two crawler tracks 3 positioned below the metallurgical transport container 9. The receiving device and the receiving surfaces are not shown for the sake of clarity. The metallurgical transport container 9 stands on two walls 12 and is thus spaced from the floor. Thus, the slag transporter 1 can be positioned under the metallurgical transport container 9 from the front and rear on both sides. The slag transporter 1 can be positioned from the front under the transport container 9, lift the transport container 9, transport it, park it and pass under the container. This is advantageous compared to slag transporters known in art, as it allows the metallurgical transport container to be parked in a more space-saving manner, for example, in a row. The slag transporter 1 is concealed by the front wall of the two walls 12 and is therefore shown partially dashed. The metallurgical transport container 9 has an angular shape and is open at the top. The metallurgical transport vessel 9 is designed to receive both cold and hot or liquid slag.

[0041] FIG. 6 shows a metallurgical transport unit 9 spaced from the floor by support legs 11. Apertures 13 are attached to the side. The slag transporter 1 can be positioned on both sides from the front and rear under the metallurgical transport container 9. The metallurgical transport container 9 has an angular shape and is open at the top. The metallurgical transport container 9 is designed to hold both cold and hot or liquid slag.
