The Project
SuedLink brings wind power from the north to the south—700 km, completely underground.
The Problem
95% of the route runs over arable land. The soil must not be compacted—otherwise, agriculture is not possible.
The Machine
The Morooka tracked dumper transports heavy loads while remaining lightweight. It can be deployed almost anywhere.

The cornerstone of energy security
Suedlink is one of eight flagship projects of the German Energy Transition, significant for all of Europe.
By 2028, two extra-high-voltage lines will be constructed along Germany’s North-South corridor, with a total length of 700 km.
They will supply the country’s industry and metropolitan areas with predominantly climate-friendly electricity from renewable sources.
Seven more major corridor projects will follow this model. Together with SuedLink, they will expand Germany’s transmission grid by 17,000 km by 2045.
This makes the initiative one of Europe’s most important grid expansion projects.

From sky to underground
Unlike in the past, the new energy backbone routes direct current lines underground.
A real win for the landscape and sustainability—but a major construction challenge…
Soil protection as a core principle
Soil protection as a fundamental principle
A major portion of the new routes runs across farmland. This sensitive terrain poses significant challenges for construction contractors. It is not just a matter of speed and volume, but also of meeting strict soil protection requirements. While the approach to this problem is creative in many places, it is rarely efficient…

The 700 km steel plate problem
To comply with ground pressure limits, many contractors rely on what they know: steel plates.
While this solution distributes the weight of operating machinery, it introduces extra effort and new challenges on site:
- Enormous material costs
- Transportation and storage
- Difficult to drive on in rain or frost
For a project of this magnitude, where construction progress cannot be delayed by weather conditions or site requirements, there is only one true fundamental solution: selecting the right machinery.

The Morooka Effect
Where steel plates reach their limits, Japanese engineering offers a technological answer:
The large ground contact area, rubber tracks, and track rollers of Morooka machines, along with a 360° rotating upper structure, make a noticeable difference in power line projects like SuedLink.
- No construction site modifications
- No additional materials
- No unnecessary maneuvering

Special machine & All-rounder
Contractors who rely on Morooka rubber track dumpers in power line projects benefit from measurable performance effects.
An investment in the right machine beats steel plate chaos and compliance limbo by far.
And even beyond comparable projects, the Morooka tracked dumper proves itself as a tried-and-true all-rounder – in construction projects with heavy earth-moving work and on challenging terrain, operating in wind energy, forestry, pipeline construction, or disaster relief.
Investing in a Morooka machine extends well beyond the power line projects.

The problem is known,
the solution is proven.
Are you ready for performance in a growing market?
Germany is building the largest power grid in its history – and the critical factor is the ground over which every kilometer runs. Those who protect it build faster, cheaper, and safer. Those who rely on steel plates pay double.
With eight major projects and thousands of kilometers ahead, the decision for the right machine is now…
