It was impressive driving by those behemoth digging machines when I travelled by train to Berlin in the 90's. Now two and a half decades later most of the East German lignite mines have been turned into lakes surrounded by nature. Definitely a change for the better :)

Is this the right thread to mention Bagger 288?

Imagine Parker Schnabel borrowing one of these for a season, that’d be something.

considering there's only one of them, i'd imagine getting replacement parts is just as hard as getting common parts out bush here heh. minus the reality tv stuff of course

That's a 16.56 MW bucket excavator! But the conveyor draws 27 MW. Definitely needs its own substation infra. Quite amazing at that size that electric is the way to go.
