The Bagger 293, constructed by the German company TAKRAF in 1995, is the largest self-propelled land vehicle in the world. This colossal machine weighs 14,200 tonnes and stands 96 meters tall, measuring 225 meters in length. It is operated by a team of five operators who manage its complex functions simultaneously. The Bagger 293 is primarily used in open-pit mining, where its massive rotating digger allows for the efficient excavation of large volumes of earth and minerals. This engineering marvel exemplifies the capabilities of modern technology in heavy machinery, significantly enhancing productivity in mining operations.
