These are some of the largest land vehicles in the world. Bigger than multiple stacked double-decker buses and heavier than multiple full jumbo jets. Man-made machinery is essential for construction and many other aspects of the modern world, however, what happens when humans push the limits of engineering?

The level of engineering required to create and maintain this stuff must be crazy. It's actually amazing what the human brain can think of and create.
Its the same as others only the size of the parts are different Edit: guys chill it was a joke for KZhead comment 😅
@@um4r_arf fuck no that is so wrong. why do you think the top speed on all these large vehicles is so slow? the effects of physics on an object changes with the amount of weight involved.

Yeah you right. As an American, I’ll see distances measured in eagles, cars, busses, football fields, etc. it’s actually more embarrassing than you think.

Before I moved out, I regularly passed the coal mines and saw the Bagger 293 Even longer ago, back in elementary school, I even saw one up close on a field day. I was always admiring the sheer scale of these monsters but I never really thought about the logistics behind them. I kinda expected them to be assembled on site - kinda like regular cranes you see at construction sites... I had no Idea they could move

I saw Bager in Easter Germany many times.
would love to hear the HP and fuel average of these monsters
Belaz 75710 has around 2300 horsepower but that’s all I know
I'm guessing they are very fuel efficient for what they produce. Some operations scale up really well, or they wouldn't keep making em bigger.
pretty much 21,000 horsepower
The Cat shovel, and LeTourneau loader where running into Cat 973 haul trucks. The trucks them selves burn about 30 gal of diesel per hour. The Cat 6060 loader is a twin parallel engine design. Each power unit burning about 100 gal per hour.
Their fuel avg would be calculated in L/m or something i guess
I actually see the Bagger quite regularly as the coal mines are near a highway close to my home in Germany and I've had two tours around the coal mines and can't overstate how absolutely tiny you feel driving below it with a bus.

The square-cube problems with these machines must be an insane challenge to overcome. Damn, humans can be efficient when the circumstances call for it.
Yes I've actually seen something like the Bagger in Germany as a teen. Pretty crazy but it's so big that you don't really think of it as a vehicle. More like a structure similar to a factory.
They are very common in strip coal mines in the US. They're called Bucket Wheel Excavators, a much more descriptive term than bagger. I moved cable for one and greased it in the early 80's.
@@robertdouglas8895 "Schaufelradbagger" means "bucket wheel excavator" in German ;) And yeah, they are common in west- and east-German brown coal mines.
@@grossmeister1181 OK, so they abbreviated it. I'd never heard the term "brown" coal, only bituminous, soft or hard.
@@robertdouglas8895 I have no idea what the correct translation is to be honest. In Germany we just call it "Braunkohle", which translates to "brown coal". Wikipedia calls it "Lignite", but also "brown coal" though: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lignite And yeah, "Bagger" is just an "excavator", but we have these combined nouns in the German language so "Schaufelradbagger" is the combined word for the separate 3 words in English.
@@grossmeister1181 Lignite is a third type of coal made from peat after the more efficient anthracite and bituminous. I didn't realize it was being mined in the US. "Last year, Germany announced that it plans to phase out the use of coal entirely by 2038. Lignite is the most polluting of all coal types, as its lower density means larger amounts need to be burned to produce a unit of power, and it is responsible for 20% of the country's carbon emissions."
I live near the coal mines in germany mentioned in the video and there was a time when you could look into the mine when driving past on the Autobahn. Everytime I drove past it seemed so unreal that these "creatures" where working there.
My eyes would fall if I'd see one of these
I actually went on a class trip to the mines where this (or a similar one) stood... we also saw the old Förderbrücke F60... man that was cool!
could people visit there as a tourist?
Funny cats carrying ore or something
@@farikkun1841 There are platforms where you can look into the holes. Sometimes there are events where you can go into a hole or when one of those machines moves to another hole.
I couldn't imagine seeing something like the Bagger 293 in transit. It is so massive, it seems like it would just easily roll my entire city.
Can we just appreciate all the mechanics and engineers who have been creating and operating these ultra massive big boys
When I was a kid I watched Bagger 293 transit to another mine. That thing was ridiculous. I remember that my dad would stand in its tracks in the dirt and it went up to his hip. Unbelievable big. 🤩🤩

We were at the Hamabcher Forst for a school trip and they use the baggers there. From far away they don't look that massive but the closer you get the more you realize just how big these actually are. It is impressive that humans even come up with the designs and engineering for such massive vehicles and are able to properly build them
funfact about the Bagger 293: They built an above ground power line in 2000 that the Bagger had to cross in 2010 to move to a new mining location. So in order to not have to rebuild the power line, they just made 2 pillars much taller than the others to fit the machine 10 years later. Those pillars are gigantic and they remain intact today. Edit: okay it doesnt seem to be Bagger 293 in particular, as others have told in the comments, but some other giant Bagger. I will keep looking for the source though
Do you know the exact location so I can check it out on google maps
Source?
@@rossou99 My roommate that lives in a village near those mines told me some time ago. Its likely somewhat near Cottbus, Germany in a region called "Lausitz", where much of the german coal is mined.

no lmao
Not blood. Enlarged screenshot looks like a couple of pieces of cardboard, perhaps. Although the dirt does look to be darker underneath the car, probably bcz of the motor oil and other car fluids that were released during this 'first pressing'. So I think that makes them extra virgin.

It makes you understand the scale of the the vehicles.
@@gamej7946 this mf stuttered in the comment section ☠️
Well, you could just use metric. I don’t know why it would be difficult to comprehend
@@thegreendorito9515 yeah you can just say how big a thing is but its easier to put it into a realistic scale that the average viewer can comprehend, kinda like how when people talk about absurdly large amounts of money they convert it to time so we can easier understand how much it is, being able to break things down to a more digestible level is a good measure of intelligence as anyone can just regurgitate information, where as making sure the person understands is a much harder task
Best is to use human being as weight, like 10K human which 750 ton approx, as many doesnt know statue of liberty weight
You can’t convince me the Bagger 293 is NOT a Metal Gear boss
I grew up next to the Kennecott copper mine in Utah, which was and probably still is the biggest mine in the world. We used to play at a park that was built with tires from these huge trucks. Most were cut in half, so you could climb on top of them or hide inside. It was pretty fun as a kid.

Those are some impressive machines. I am familiar with the Komatsu 930e haul truck(not featured here), so if the Belaz 75710 is bigger that is really amazing.

I got to see the Nasa crawler in person when they rolled out the Artemis 1 for a wet rehearsal, it's insane how big it is and I believe it's powered by a nuclear reactor.

This "Bagger 293" is in my hometown in Germany. There he excavates the layers of earth for coal day after day.

You can do organized tours for the Bagger 293. I was there with my school-class I didn´t realized that this was a vehicle.
I remember being held up by traffic one day behind a Bagger 293. Took me about a week to get to the next block.
Man, i felt so cool when i was driving the CAT 980 XE loader, but the L-2350 can carry the weight of TWO of these in its bucket, insane.
Sometimes I just want to feel whats like to drive those
It's boring and you have to pay attention to a lot of things as these machines can break easily, these are complex things. I didn't drive it, but I was in cabin with drivers many times, it's nothing like you imagine. It's loud inside and the area looks like the Moon surface.
There is a giant vehicle which was used for lignite mining near where I live. It is called "Abraumförderbrücke F60" and it measures 500m in length, 204m in width, 80m in height and is 11,000t heavy. It is not running anymore but you can book guided tours and walk around on it which is really cool. PS: sry for my bad english
Yes, in fact I was the only loader for schwerer Gustav back in my highschool years. That thing was quite the plinker!
