Kranraupe
"Am 17. September 2014 hatten wir bereits Unterlagen zur benötigten Ausrüstung für das Rücken der Bandanlage auf der Kippe und Antworten zu Fragen betreffend die Rückraupe übermittelt."
You can get an idea of what it is from google images (https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Rückraupe&biw=1536&bih=730... but absolutely no idea what this is called in English.
Thanks in advance.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Also called a tracked pipelayer, side boom crawler, crawler- tractor/side boom, crawler with side boom or crawler tractor side boom crane - it all depends on the manufacturer.
Examples of these are used at the Garzweiler opencast mining site.
