TAKRAF is a global German industrial company based in Leipzig. TAKRAF is short for Tagebergbau-Ausrüstungen, Krane und Förderanlagen (surface mining equipment, cranes and conveying equipment). It is one of the world's leading manufacturers and suppliers of equipment and systems for open pit mining, bulk material handling, minerals processing and a wide range of services & components. The company is especially well known for its huge bucket-wheel excavators, semi-mobile crushing plants, innovative conveying solutions and heap leach systems.

The company was founded in 1958 in the former German Democratic Republic, but it goes back to the year 1725, when the first factory for construction equipment was founded in Lauchhammer near Dresden. After Germany's reunification, TAKRAF became part of the MAN company and was later acquired by Tenova SpA, which is part of the the international Techint group, in 2006.

TAKRAF is an integrated solutions provider to the global mining, bulk material handling and minerals industries, offering innovative technological solutions as well as process and commodity knowledge along the industry value chains. With the integration of the well-known DELKOR brand of products into TAKRAF, the offered portfolio for the mineral beneficiation and processing sectors has been considerably enhanced.

The company provides the full range of services, from feasibility studies, planning, engineering and design to fabrication, supply, erection and commissioning, technical assistance, service and after-sales service for plants, systems and equipment. Its equipment has proved robust and reliable in adverse geological conditions, in extreme climates with temperatures down to minus 45°C, in dust, wind or extreme humidity, as well as in seismic zones and altitudes of up to 5,000 m above sea level or in underground applications.

TAKRAF has committed to both environmental and social sustainability in their business interactions and has adopted a Zero harm approach to safety under the SAFETY FIRST promise of the Tenova Group.

Among their products are some of the largest mobile land-based objects on the planet, such as the bucket-wheel excavators RB293 and SRs 8000.
