This behemoth of a machine isn’t just large—it’s a Guinness World Record holder. Bagger 293, a German-made bucket-wheel excavator by TAKRAF, stands taller than the Statue of Liberty and weighs more than 80 blue whales. Designed for open-pit mining, it’s capable of moving an astonishing 240,000 cubic meters of soil every single day—enough to fill nearly 100 Olympic-sized swimming pools. Its 21-meter-wide rotating wheel is fitted with 18 enormous buckets, each devouring earth with every turn. Crossing roads and landscapes at a crawl, this steel titan isn’t just a machine—it’s a mobile mining operation. Bagger 293, along with its equally gigantic sibling Bagger 288, exemplifies the sheer scale of modern industrial engineering. #Bagger293 #MiningMachines #EngineeringMarvel #BucketWheelExcavator #MegaMachines @Credits: Engineering Facts
