It holds the Guinness World Record for Biggest Earth Mover. Designed to center-load haul trucks with capacities of up to 360 tonnes (400 short tons), the L-2350 provides an operating payload of 73 tonnes (80 short tons), a 7.03 metres (23.1 ft) lift height, and an 3.5 metres (11.5 ft) reach.
When its construction was completed in 1978, Bagger 288 superseded Big Muskie as the heaviest land vehicle in the world, at 13,500 tons. [3] It took five years to design and manufacture and five years to assemble, with total cost reaching $100 million. [4] In 1995, it was itself superseded by the slightly heavier Bagger 293 (14,200 tons).
Bagger 293 is 96 metres (315 feet) tall (the Guinness World Record for tallest terrestrial vehicle, shared with Bagger 288). It is 225 metres (738 feet) long (same as Bagger 287), weighs 14,200 tonnes (31.3 million pounds), and requires five people to operate. It is powered by an external power source providing 16.56 megawatts.

The Big Muskie was a model 4250-W dragline and was the only one ever built by the Bucyrus-Erie company. [1] With a 220-cubic-yard (170 m 3) bucket, it was the largest single-bucket digging machine ever created and one of the world's largest mobile earth-moving machines alongside the Ohio-based Marion 6360 stripping shovel called The Captain and the German bucket wheel excavators of the Bagger ...
With an empty weight of 360 tonnes (350 long tons; 400 short tons), it is much heavier than BelAZ's previous largest model, the 7560, which weighed 240 tonnes (240 long tons; 260 short tons) when empty. [4] [5] It is 20.6 m (67 ft 7 in) long, 8.16 m (26 ft 9 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) high, and 9.87 m (32 ft 4 + 5 ⁄ 8 in) wide. The bed is relatively ...
Commonly referred to as the 'world's largest production bulldozer', the D575A series bulldozers were produced by Komatsu Ltd. in Osaka, Japan. [4] [5] Surface mine operators in the United States, Australia and Japan were the primary users of the D575A, although they were sometimes used in heavy construction applications and quarries as well.
In 1981 HSW and International Harvester constructed the TD-40 earth mover, the world's largest at that time. It had plough capacity 19 m 3 and the engine had 460 hp. Production began in 1983. TD-40 was used by State Polish mines and was exported to USA , Czechoslovakia , and the Soviet Union .
