Bagger 293, previously known as the MAN TAKRAF RB293, is a giant bucket-wheel excavator made by the German industrial company TAKRAF, formerly an East German Kombinat. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] It owns and shares some records for terrestrial vehicle size in the Guinness Book of Records .
The Type SRs 8000 or less commonly known as the SRs 8000-class, [6] is a family of bucket-wheel excavators known for being one of the largest terrestrial vehicles ever made by man, with Bagger 293 its - "lead vessel" - being the largest ground vehicle in history. [7]
The first overburden conveyor bridge was supplied in 1924, followed, two years later, in 1926, by fabrication of the first three bucket-wheel excavators. [ 5 ] The years following the foundation of TAKRAF, then known as ABUS, in 1948 saw supply of the first 60 meter moveable overburden conveyor bridge for the Welzon Sued lignite mine in 1973.

Bagger 288 (Excavator 288), previously known as the MAN TAKRAF RB288 [2] built by the German company Krupp for the energy and mining firm Rheinbraun, is a bucket-wheel excavator or mobile strip mining machine. When its construction was completed in 1978, Bagger 288 superseded Big Muskie as the heaviest land vehicle in the world, at 13,500 tons.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]
RB293 is a particular machine of the type SRs 8000. They are not two different excavators. Therefore I removed the confusing statement that SRs 8000 is now the biggest excavator instead of RB293. The confusion may have been caused by the English version of the TAKRAF website. The German version is clearer:
The bucket-wheel dimensions are 11.2 m (37 ft) in diameter with 14 buckets. [7] It is able to excavate a total capacity that can range between 4900 and 7000 m 3 /h with a digging force of around 100 kN/m. [7] [8] The bucket wheel excavator reaches 30 m digging height with a cutting depth of -10 meters. [5]
