The wheel loaders, who had to overcome large distances in the load and carry usage part, were equipped with this technology. For Millfahrt and his team of use thanks to the rental machinery of HKL ran absolutely smoothly.

Road tunnel belong today to the neuralgic points in the German wire. The traffic greatly increased in the last few years has particularly the underpasses in Brought conurbations on the maximum load capacity. Increased safety standards require increasingly complex adjustments of the buildings. To meet this development according to new tubes are planned and according to the requirements of the time, including the Elbe tunnel, longest underwater road tunnel in the world restored existing tunnels.
