Bagger 288 (Excavator 288), 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 When its construction was completed in 1978, Bagger 288 superseded Big Muskie as the heaviest land vehicle in the world, at 13,500 tons.[1] In 1995, it was itself superseded by the slightly heavier Bagger 293 (14,200 tons). NASAs Crawler-Transporter still remains the largest self-powered land vehicle in the world, since bucket-wheel excavators are powered by an external power source, and the Overburden Conveyor Bridge F60s hold the title of largest land vehicle of any type by physical dimensions.\r<br>The Terex RH 400 front shovel has two Cummins QSK 60-C two-stage, turbocharged, aftercooled and intercooled, 16-cylinder engines producing 4,500 net horsepower (HP). It comes standard with a TriPower shovel attachment, independent oil cooling system, five-circuit-hydraulic system, electronic-hydraulic servo control, torque control in the closed-loop swing circuit, automatic central lubrication system, Xenon working lights, Board Control System (BCS), spacious cab, and a hydraulically-driven radiator fan with electronically controlled speed.
