It reaches roughly 96 meters in height and spans 225 meters long, comparable to a skyscraper laid on its side. Its huge bucket wheel, over 21 meters wide, can collect up to 240,000 tonnes of material daily. Despite weighing more than 14,000 tonnes, it rolls steadily across the ground on massive tracked bases. via : @hergunlinsaat #tec
