Strange Construction Equipment

In trying to figure out what this blog really needs, I've been attempting to come up with some strage, outlandish, or rare vehicles. I've searched the net, and the best I could find came from an obvious place. Dark Roasted Blend is one of my favorite sites. It was there that I found this monster from their list of Biggest (and Hungriest) Machines:

Giant Bucket Wheel Excavator
It would be cool to carry a model of this thing here at 3000toys. But I can't figure out what scale it would have to be to even fit it in a shipping container. This thing is really impressive. It apparently takes about 5 years to put together, so once assembled it must be driven from point to point, likely destroying much of what gets in its way. It's the largest mobile machine on earth. It is about 2.5 football fields in length, and more than half a mile tall, weighing in at 45,500 tons.

  1. Great post about construction equipment. The construction equipment is essential to the construction industry because it helps to reduce labor costs, increase productivity, improve safety, and reduce the amount of time and money spent on projects. Construction equipment provides a wide range of benefits, from the ability to lift and move heavy materials to the ability to operate in confined spaces and hazardous conditions. By using construction equipment, construction projects can be completed more quickly, efficiently, and safely, which can reduce costs and improve profitability. Furthermore, construction equipment can be used to reduce environmental impact, reduce material waste, and improve the quality of work. For more details, visit this site.
