The inclined elevator of the Völklinger Hütte served to transport the ore and other raw materials from ground level up to the blast furnaces. Heavy loads were pulled upwards in carts over the inclined conveyor path, where they went directly into the charging of the furnaces.
In short: It was the powerful connection between the raw material storage and the blast furnace – an inclined "freight elevator" that kept the entire production flow of the plant going.The inclined elevator of the Völklinger Hütte served to transport the ore and other raw materials from ground level up to the blast furnaces.
