Conveyor bridge F60
In 1991, near the village of Lichterfeld in Germany, the German company TAKRAF has commissioned the world's largest conveyor bridge F60. The purpose of this design - the removal of the rock formation, located on the deposits of coal and transportation of rock away from the place of production.
F60 - gigantic bridge, its length - 502 meters, height - 74 m. The size is considerably higher than the Eiffel Tower (302, 6 meters), right in the horizontal plane.

In 1992, after only 13 months on a number of financial and political reasons, the project was abandoned. The bridge was to be blown up and disposed of. However, some enthusiasts prevented its destruction and opened it in 2000 to the general public. Several workers serving the earlier design are now guides

Weight construction - 13, 6 thous. Tons. At the same time he is able to move at a maximum speed of 13 m / min in four pairs of standard gauge rail via wheel 760, of which 380 - leading.

At the top, the height of almost 80 meters, the design is very strong, despite the strong wind pitching almost non-existent. However, not a pleasant feeling. He who is afraid of heights, it is better to refrain from visiting the site. All railing yellow all the photographs have been added later, especially for sightseeing purposes (so that tourists do not get lost overboard). The workers walked around the frame in other ways that were not so comfortable equipped. Without insurance.

These rollers are moved by rock bands, consisting of a rubber-coated steel cables with a speed over 30 km / h. Productivity of the car - 29 thousand. M3 of rock per hour. All this, of course, accompanied by a terrible roar and vibrations. Although the bridge is not operated for more than 15 years, all of the rollers easily rotated by hand, and continue to rotate for a few seconds. That is the quality!
Most leaves a lasting impression. Going to an object, you feel a tiny bug. I recommend to all! The bridge is open year round and every day, except for the winter months, when it is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Ticket price for adults - 8 euros if you are from 6 to 11 years old - only 3 !!!

Dear moderators, if you can correct, please - in the name of the topic, I made a typo - the bridge is not F6, and F60
