Environmental responsibility and efficient material handling can go hand in hand. For decades, DSI’s Sandwich Belt high angle conveyor technology has helped customers reduce their operational footprint by minimizing land disturbance, reducing truck haulage, lowering dust emissions, and optimizing energy usage. From renewable energy applications and waste-to-energy facilities to regenerative conveyor systems that feed power back to the grid, these installations demonstrate how innovative conveying solutions can advance both productivity and sustainability. The following projects highlight just a few examples of Sandwich Belt conveyors and overland conveyors working in harmony with the environment.

Sandwich Belt High Angle Conveyors in Harmony with the Environment

Originally contracted as a DSI GPS (Gently Pressed Sandwich) high angle conveyor installation, the Los Filos gold mine in central Mexico ultimately required a conventional overland conveyor solution when the mountainside geology proved unstable for the planned route. Continuing its commitment to innovative and cost-effective material handling solutions, DSI optimized the original 10-flight conveyor system into a 7-flight design utilizing horizontal curves. Because the conveyor route operates downhill, the system functions as a regenerative conveyor, feeding power back into the mine’s electrical grid and helping power other site equipment.

The largest fleet of Hitachi mining equipment in Europe has proved to be one of the vital ingredients in the success of Terrafame’s nickel-cobalt-zinc mine in Sotkamo, Finland. The site at Kuusilampi is home to Europe’s most significant nickel and cobalt ore reserves, as well as three Hitachi ultra-large excavators and 16 rigid dump trucks. The reliable orange machines are being used to dig, load and haul the total designed mining volume of 52 million tonnes per year.

In recent years, Terrafame has gained a strong reputation for producing high-purity nickel and cobalt sulphates that are used as battery chemicals for electric vehicles. To continue to meet increasing demand for its raw materials from European automakers and battery manufacturers, the company has invested in expanding production capacity while enhancing efficiency. In addition, its primary focus for growth is new products, with battery grade nickel, cobalt and copper critical and strategic raw materials for the EU’s green transition.

Long-term support

To achieve its future targets and ambitions, Terrafame has also been strengthening its relationships with Hitachi Construction Machinery (Europe) NV (HCME) and its authorised dealer in Finland, Rotator since 2015. The first Hitachi rigid dump trucks and ultra-large excavators were delivered to the mine’s previous operator in 2008, and Rotator’s on-site parts and technical support team have been responsible for maintenance and service ever since.

Today the Terrafame fleet includes two EX3600-7 excavators (delivered in 2022 and 2023, now with 20,000 and 14,000 hours respectively) and one EX3600-6 (2018, over 40,000 hours). The three machines are used for loading the blasted materials into the 16 Hitachi dump trucks – eight EH3500AC-3s (2022-2024, 11,000-19,000 hours) and eight EH3500ACIIs (2009-2017, 52,000-82,000) – in four to five passes.

High utilisation and availability

The biggest challenge facing the Kuusilampi open-pit mine is the freezing cold and wet weather conditions, as Antti Lakkala, Terrafame’s Head of Production – Mining, explains: “With rain, winter and hard frost, our working conditions change all year round. It challenges our road maintenance and therefore the use of dump truck tyres, and usability of the dump trucks. Cold winters also challenge us with the use of the excavators.

“Rotator and Hitachi have met our challenges, and high utilisation and availability are being achieved. We have aimed for better efficiency with the dump trucks and large excavators, and the goal is to increase loading capacity and utilisation. We have dump trucks and loading excavators of various ages, but our operators generally prefer newer equipment – they like the tools they operate with.”

Safe and comfortable

One of Terrafame’s most experienced operators is Kosti Jokelainen, who has driven both the EH3500AC3 and EH3500ACII since 2015: “I think the new cab is more spacious and larger than the previous truck. It feels more comfortable with being less cramped, and safer with the stronger pillars. The gear lever and the dump lever are better, much more convenient, and easy to use. The most useful feature is the retarder button – it’s incredibly important that you can slow it down with a button.”

Similarly, Aki Anttonen has been a Terrafame operator for ten years: “I operate an excavator the size of an apartment block, the best that money can buy! The cab is very comfortable in the new machines, even after 12 hours of operation. The most important feature I like about my working environment is that it is quiet and no dust can get in there. The cameras are also important when visibility to the sides and rear is non-existent in places. Filling the bucket is easy and there are some differences from the old machine, such as the hydraulics, and the digging power is significantly higher.”

Trust through cooperation

In 2025, the Kolmisoppi deposit – part of Terrafame’s wider resource base – was granted strategic project status under the EU’s Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) and there are plans to open this deposit by 2028. Together with the successful cooperation with Rotator, and the proven high utilisation, reliability and uptime of the Hitachi fleet, the future looks bright for the integrated mine and battery chemicals plant.

“Over the years we have gained extensive experience with the same equipment, our operating conditions and our challenges,” says Antti. “It has brought know-how on both sides, as well as trust through cooperation. It is vital that the teams work closely together, and I can see that this will be even better in the future. In this way, we are developing in the right direction.”

• A Liebherr mobile harbour crane of type LHM 800, configured for demanding project cargo and heavy-lift operations, is strengthening lifting performance in one of Europe’s leading logistics hubs
• Broekman Logistics, Rotterdam-based and a long-standing Liebherr partner, continues its strategic development as a specialised provider of breakbulk, industrial and project cargo logistics
• The project reflects close engineering collaboration and marks an impressive milestone in expanding terminal capabilities within the Port of Rotterdam

At Broekman Project Services’ heavy lift terminal, direct quayside access, indoor heavy-lift halls and project logistics expertise create a tightly integrated operation. Liebherr’s tailored engineering supports that model with low ground pressure, high lifting performance and operational flexibility for complex cargo requirements.

Rostock (Germany), June 2026 – A new heavyweight for Broekman Logistics’ quayside in Rotterdam. The new crane is one of Liebherr’s flagship mobile harbour crane models, offering a lifting capacity of up to 308 tonnes, and is designed for demanding cargo profiles. For this terminal, the crane has been engineered with custom supporting pads to meet the specific conditions of the quay. Its configuration is tailored for project cargoes and heavy lifts, where high load charts, stability and precision handling are critical. As part of the LHM range, the crane also benefits from Liebherr’s established crane architecture and mobility, allowing flexible deployment across the terminal. With the LHM 800, which was nicknamed ‘Titan 1,’ Broekman is strengthening its terminal capabilities while adding a new level of lifting performance to Rotterdam’s maritime operations.

A strategic investment for Rotterdam’s industrial logistics chain

Broekman Logistics has deep roots in Rotterdam and a long record in the port, having started as an independent shipping agent in 1960 before developing into a broader end-to-end logistics provider. Today, the company combines forwarding, contract logistics, breakbulk terminals and technical services, with a strong focus on machinery, industrial cargo and international supply chains. Its Rotterdam breakbulk activities include direct vessel handling, heavy-lift storage, battery energy storage systems storage, marshalling and value-added services for oversized and out-of-gauge cargo. This operational profile makes high-capacity lifting equipment a key asset for daily terminal work and for the longer-term development of project cargo business.

The LHM 800 gives us the lifting performance and flexibility to handle larger and more complex cargo at our quayside,’ says Rob van Dijk, Director Terminal & Shipping at Broekman Logistics.

‘Combined with our indoor lifting capacity of 700 tonnes by overhead crane, it strengthens our position as a heavy-lift specialist in Rotterdam.’

‘The crane fits Broekman Logistics’ terminal ambitions and reflects the strong cooperation with Liebherr, where we worked together to translate quay requirements into a practical solution.’

The investment also fits within a broader economic context. The Port of Rotterdam handles approximately 428.4 million tonnes of cargo annually, with breakbulk and project cargo remaining an important part of that system.

As Rotterdam continues to invest in capacity, flexibility and industrial connectivity, the additional heavy-lift capability at Broekman supports local operational resilience. It also improves supply chain efficiency for industrial customers in the Netherlands, Germany and beyond.

Engineering precision for demanding ground conditions

From an engineering perspective, this project required careful coordination across all parties involved. The combination of high lifting performance and low ground loading called for a tailored support arrangement, with custom pads developed to suit the quay structure and operating environment. Site-adapted load distribution is an important enabler for high-capacity crane deployment, especially where berth characteristics or terminal layouts impose tight structural parameters. The result is a configuration that preserves the crane’s operational strength while answering the practical demands of the installation site. That balance is particularly relevant for terminals handling irregular cargo dimensions, concentrated loads and complex lift planning.

Liebherr supports such projects through a worldwide maritime service organisation with more than 450 service engineers, as well as sales and service structures around the world. For operators, that framework provides access to technical support, field service, inspections, upgrades and parts availability across the crane lifecycle, with short response times and continuity of expertise.

‘This project shows what can be achieved when a customer’s operational vision is matched by focused engineering and close cooperation,’ said Andreas Ritschel, General Manager Sales Mobile Harbour cranes at Liebherr-Rostock GmbH. ‘We are proud to place this crane on Broekman’s quayside and to deliver a solution that fulfils the technical requirements of the site while supporting the customer’s next stage of growth.’

For Rotterdam, the project stands as a measured but meaningful addition to terminal capability. For Broekman, it creates room for larger lifts, broader cargo opportunities and continued development within a highly competitive port environment. For Liebherr, it reflects the value of adapting proven crane technology to the realities of individual terminals and their infrastructure. Together, those elements form a partnership grounded in practical performance, long-term trust and a clear view of where industrial port logistics is heading next.

• With a lifting capacity of 104 tonnes and a maximum outreach of 61 metres, the Liebherr LHM 600 is now the largest mobile harbour crane operating in Colombia
• Compania de Puertos Asociados S.A., the country’s only multipurpose port network with terminals on both Atlantic and Pacific coastlines, continues to expand capacity at its Caribbean gateway
• Commissioned at the Port of Cartagena, the crane supports container operations at a terminal handling up to 250,000 TEUs annually across four berthing positions

As Colombia’s foreign trade grows and cargo mixes evolve, ports are focusing on equipment that extends handling capability within existing infrastructure. The introduction of a high-capacity Liebherr mobile harbour crane at Cartagena reflects a measured approach to accommodating larger vessels and changing operational demands without major structural expansion.

Rostock (Germany), June 2026 – A new operational reference point for Colombian ports. Compas has placed an LHM 600 into service at its Cartagena terminal to reinforce container-handling capability within one of the country’s most active maritime zones. The crane’s 61-metre outreach allows it to work across wider container vessels calling at the terminal, while its 104-tonne lifting capacity supports heavy container moves and twin-lift operations where required. Mounted on a mobile undercarriage, the crane can be reallocated between berths as traffic patterns change. This flexibility is particularly relevant at a multipurpose terminal handling containers alongside bulk, project and refrigerated cargo.

Supporting Cartagena’s role in national and regional trade

Located in one of Colombia’s most strategically positioned port areas, Compas Cartagena functions as a critical connection point between domestic supply chains and international shipping routes. The terminal combines container operations with bulk and general cargo handling, supported by specialised infrastructure including certified cold storage facilities and non-intrusive inspection systems capable of scanning up to 150 containers per hour. Introducing higher-capacity quay handling equipment helps balance these diverse operational requirements without compromising throughput or safety.

‘This investment strengthens our ability to serve shipping lines and cargo owners more reliably as trade volumes continue to evolve,’ a Compas representative said. ‘By expanding handling capacity within our existing footprint, we are reinforcing Cartagena’s role as a stable and efficient gateway for Colombian foreign trade.’

The arrival of the crane also supports smoother vessel turnaround during peak periods, reducing operational bottlenecks and supporting consistent cargo flows through the Colombian Caribbean.

Mobile harbour crane versatility aligned with long-term operations

At Compas Cartagena, where four berths support container, bulk, refrigerated and project cargo alongside one another, operational sequencing is critical. The LHM 600 adds an additional layer of planning certainty by allowing higher-capacity container moves to be scheduled without disrupting parallel cargo flows. This supports more consistent berth utilisation and aligns crane performance with the terminal’s digital operating systems and inspection infrastructure.

The crane is supported by Liebherr’s regional sales and service organisation, ensuring access to local technical expertise, spare parts and scheduled maintenance. This framework is designed to maintain predictable crane availability while supporting the terminal’s continuous operations.

‘Our objective is to deliver equipment that integrates into complex port environments and supports steady, long-term performance,’ Andreas Ritschel, General Manager Sales Mobile Harbour Cranes at Liebherr-Rostock GmbH noted. ‘In Cartagena, this means enabling flexible container handling while respecting the operational realities of a multipurpose terminal.’

For Colombia, where ports serve not only as trade gateways but as economic stabilisers for regional industries, incremental improvements at established terminals often deliver the greatest long-term value. The commissioning of the LHM 600 at Cartagena reflects a focus on strengthening operational continuity at a proven hub, reinforcing the port’s role in supporting exports, imports and supply chain reliability across the country.
