SMT Scharf Group

is one of the leading suppliers of rail-bound transport systems. Comprehensive know-how, a global presence, high-performance products and many years of expertise as a solution provider for difficult transport tasks are the reasons for the good reputation of our group of companies in mining, tunnel construction and other industries.

Safety, reliability, and efficiency top the list of requirements in underground mining and tunneling.

For efficient operation, personnel, materials, and other loads must be transported quickly and safely – regardless of difficult conditions. These essentially include changing steep gradients, limited height, restricted space, dust, etc.

SMT Scharf offers optimal customer-oriented solutions for all areas of underground mining: mineral mining, coal mining and tunneling. When it comes to transport solutions with rail-bound systems, we are at the top of the premium segment.

Regardless of whether people or materials are to be transported: For time- and route-optimized transport in different areas, we set the standards factors for safety, machine quality, high performance as well as gradeability and pulling force.
