The present invention relates to a steep-belt conveying installation (1) which is intended for arranging on a slope (10) of an open-cast mining hopper and by means of which raw materials (11) can be transported from a low-level loading station (12), in particular from the bottom of the open-cast mine, to a high-level unloading station (13), in particular to the ground, having a route (14) which is arranged on the slope (10) and on which a first conveying cage (15) and a second conveying cage (16) can be displaced between the low-level loading station (12) and the high-level unloading station (13) and is designed for accommodating the raw materials (11), wherein the conveying cages (15, 16) have an emptying shutter (17) for emptying the raw materials (11) out of the conveying cages (15, 16), for which purpose the emptying shutter (17) is arranged on the conveying cages (15, 16) such that it can be moved between a closed position and an open position. The invention provides a carriage (18) which can be displaced against the emptying shutter (17) from an outer side and by means of which the emptying shutter (17) can be moved in controlled fashion between the closed position and the open position.
