What Is the Biggest Excavator?

December 10th, 2007 | by admin |

Just how big is the Biggest Excavator? Pretty darned big. Try imagining something that is taller than a 40 storey building and weighs in the area of 45,500 tons and that’s how big the Krupp Bagger 288 Excavator in Germany is. For the past 80 years, the biggest land vehicles have been excavators, with a short intervening period when the NASA crawler at their Florida space center was the largest. The largest excavators are used primarily for mining as there is no need as of yet for their amazing capabilities in normal city engineering projects.
