Mobile device for working and/or moving heaps of materials (ricks), and clearing apparatus preferably provided for it

Mobile device for working and moving heaps, of compostable materials and of materials which are suitable for a landfill, comprising

• travelling gear which can be moved on two tracks,
• an implement which is driven in a rotating fashion and is arranged essentially transversely with respect to the direction of travel within a space between the tracks of the travelling gear and within a tunnel for the material to pass through;
• two track clearing devices which are arranged in front of the two tracks of the travelling gear in the direction of travel, take up approximately the width of the respective track and force the material located in front of the tracks into the space between the tracks;
• each clearing device comprising a blade which is pivotable and also raisable from a working position pointing approximately in the direction of travel into a position of rest approximately transverse with respect to the direction of travel;
• each blade is a clearing blade pivotable into a position of rest into the space between the tracks and simultaneously pivotable and raisable into the position of rest by virtue of the fact that during pivoting it is adjustable by an angle relative to the ground such that the blade projects upwards in the direction of its free end;
• wherein a working cylinder has elements for activating and coupling the clearing blade in the vertical plane of the respectively associated track;
• and
• wherein the travelling gear has a driving chain for each track, and at least some of the elements for activating and coupling the associated clearing blade are accommodated within a wrap area of the driving chain.
