Giant Bucket Wheel Excavators: the next generation
If you're a civil engineer this picture is probably on your desktop, but for the rest of us the Giant Bucket Wheel Excavator from ThyssenKrupp Fördertechnik is enough to make us rub our eyes in disbelief. The Giant Bucket Wheel Excavator is the largest of it's kind used for mining. The mining capacity of giant excavators makes them desirable despite the cost and length of time needed to build and transport them. It takes 5 years to put a Giant Bucket Wheel Excavator together, so taking it apart when it needs to change sites is out of the question. Instead, it is driven to the next site traveling at approximately 1 mile every 3 hours, and everything in its path i.e. telephone wires, needs to be removed or risk being destroyed. Again, the production rates justify the coordinated efforts needed for its transportation.

Giant bucket wheel excavators are the largest mobile machines on earth. Currently attained production rates are up to 240,000 m³ (bank) per day, digging heights of as much as 100 m and service weights of 13,500 tonnes.
Sitting in a quarry the scale of the Giant Bucket Wheel Excavator is deceiving. Sprawled across 2 lanes of municipal road presents it at a scale we can appreciate. To some they are incredible, to others just plain ridiculous. Whatever your feeling about them there's no denying that ThyssenKrupp Fördertechnik have succeeded in engineering something truly amazing.
