It has a height of almost 100 meters, and covering a length of two and a half changes of football, this engineering enormity is so large that it must be operated by five drivers. The coal produced in a day filled 2,400 coal cars.

This gigantic structure moves by itself and is capable of not only traversing the channels that it creates as it pierces the earth, but, even as happened in 2001, in just over three weeks a trip of 22 was made. kilometers to the Garzweiler mine, crossed a river, the 61 freeway, the Erft, a railway line and several roads. The transfer cost almost DM 15 million and required a team of seventy workers, moved at a maximum speed of 10 m / m (meters per minute).
