Giant Earth Mover..
- Thread starter dawks
- Start date
Do they sell them to the public as commuter vehicles? I figure the American public will like them for their size and poor fuel economy.
Good 'ol Krupp. They go from making retardedly huge railroad cannons during WW2 to retardedly huge digging equipment.
Text for those w/o ppt:
Ultimate Earth Mover This is the largest earth mover
in the world.....
built by the German company, Krupp,
and seen here crossing a federal highway
in Germany
en route to its destination
(an open-pit coal mine).
It is cheaper to move the thing like this,
than to construct or reassemble onsite.
Specifications: ~ The mover stands 311 feet tall and 705 feet long. ~ It weighs over 45,500 tons ~ Cost $100 million to build ~ Took 5 years to design and manufacture ~ 5 years to assemble. ~ Requires 5 people to operate it. ~ The Bucket Wheel is over 70 feet in diameter with 20 buckets,
each of which can hold over 530 cubic feet of material. ~ A 6-foot man can stand up inside one of the buckets. ~ It moves on 12 crawlers
(each is 12 feet wide, 8' high and 46 feet long).
There are 8 crawlers in front and 4 in back.
It has a maximum speed of 1 mile in 3 hours (1/3 mile/hour). ~ It can remove over 76,455 cubic meters each day.
(100,000 large dump trucks at 40yds. each)

have you heard of Computer Assisted Design? Its a wonderful innovation that means you don't have to do them yourself anymore.
