As we all know, the development of mining is very important to every country, one of the important processes is mining, the general mining environment is very bad. For this reason, many countries have also invented various mining machines to replace human mining. Today, Xiaobian will introduce you to the world's largest excavator, which looks like a steel beast, and will definitely make your eyes shine!

Germany has built the world's largest excavator, with a total length of 240 meters and a height of more than 90 meters. The world's largest excavator, developed by the German Krupp company, named Bagger-288, developed in the 1970s, is still one of the world's largest mobile machinery, the total length of this excavator is 240 meters, the height of more than 90 meters, the total weight of 45,000 tons, only the bucket has 18. Each bucket can hold 67 adults, and the runner has a diameter of 21.6 meters.

Once it starts working, it can dig 240,000 cubic meters of material in a day, and the work efficiency is surprisingly fast, even if it is a mountain, it can be dug in a day, and the excavator only needs 5 people to operate, greatly reducing the total cost. Of course, there is no perfect machine. The biggest disadvantage of this machine is that it travels at a slow speed of only 0.6 kilometers per hour. But many countries still prefer to use it because of the problem of working efficiency. Editor/Xu Shengpeng
