The evolution of industrialization and construction has always been fueled by increasingly sophisticated machinery. Along with this advancement grew excavators in both complexity and size. Let’s look at five of the largest excavators in the world. The Caterpillar 6020B offers class-leading visibility and a comfortable cab with ease of use. With an operating weight of around 254 tons and a bucket payload of 23.8 tons, this massive excavator delivers on promises made to customers with its safe, simple, and reliable design. It may not be the biggest on this list, but it outweighs the world’s heaviest plane, the Stratolaunch, weighing a “mere” 250 tons. The Komatsu PC2000-11 is a surface mining hydraulic excavator with an operating weight of 228.5 tons. Equipped with selectable working nodes that cater to different applications with tailored performance, this machine draws the attention of many, and its 45-degree, hydraulically actuated boarding ladder makes it a favorite among operators. A simplified power module, cooling package, and hydraulic pumps provide easy access to major components, reducing labor hours when maintenance is scheduled.Next up is the NSW Mining Outstanding Supplier award winner of 2019, the Hitachi EX5600-7. This zero-emission, zero-compromise mining excavator provides durability, performance, and comfort with an operating weight of up to 605 tons. The Hitachi exclusive center track frame provides optimal stress dispersion through specially designed parts made of forged steel. Specially designed track shoes and advanced computer modeling ensure longevity. Powered by a Cummins engine that produces up to 4001 horsepower, the Liebherr R 9800 stakes claim as the fourth-largest hydraulic excavator in the world. This 800-ton behemoth belongs to the largest machine segment among crawler excavators and can be procured with either backhoe or shovel attachments. The R 9800 is so huge that it requires 28 trucks to ship one R 9800, with 12 weeks needed to assemble the full-sized R 9800.The Caterpillar 6090 FS holds the title of the largest excavator in the world. At an incredible 1000 tons, this hydraulic shovel weighs almost the same as three Boeing 747 Jets! With a payload of 93.6 tons, the Caterpillar 6090 FS can fill Caterpillar 797, the biggest dump truck, in just four passes! Two Cummins QSK engines totaling 4500 horsepower provide the power to maneuver this beast around, ensuring paramount performance.These giants work tirelessly, taunting us humans to come up with challenges to test their limits, developing infrastructure as they go around.

The excavators are so heavy with their boom, bucket and rotating cab. They are mainly digging the ground or loading some materials.

This video contains the biggest ships of all times. They may make you question the size of Titanic. Let’s see how big they are.

Top 5 Biggest Ships in the World.png

From little rafts to going across lakes, man’s ambition to build bigger and better took him to boats, then to ships, cruises, and commercial, and continues to push these limits today. This race has taken him to some of the largest sailing ships today. The first on our list today is the MS Allure of the Seas, an Oasis-class cruise ship owned by Royal Caribbean International. Weighing 12,000t, the ship is 1,181 ft long, 213ft above the waterline, and has a maximum beam of 154 ft- longer than four American football fields, and as tall as a 25-story building, this floating city boasts seven neighborhoods spanning 16 decks, and is capable of accommodating 5,400 passengers staterooms and loft suites. The MS Allure of the Seas, even with all of its fitness, sports, and entertainment facilities isn’t a sloucher and can do a cruising speed of 22 knots.From one of the world’s most luxurious cruise ships, let us look at Pioneering Spirit, the largest construction vessel, as tall as a 30-story building. This ship can install pipelines and has the impressive ability to remove offshore platforms in a single piece. It cuts through the steel legs of these platforms and then lifts them off the seabed by making use of its advanced systems, thus limiting the amount of debris and minimizing environmental damage. Pioneering spirit sails under her power and at a high transit speed fitting worldwide use.On 23 September 2020, CMA CGM Group entered Jacques Saadé, the first LNG-powered container ship to commercial operation. This 1,062 ft long massive ship has its cockpit equipped with cutting-edge digital technologies that aid the commander and crew, especially during port maneuvers. Jacques Saadé holds the world record for the most filled containers on a single ship. Despite its massive size and stature, the CMA CGM Jacques Saadé is designed to be efficient, a goal aided by its advanced propulsion systems and fuel-efficient engines.In 2019, MSC Gulsun launched and became the world’s largest container ship at the time. This ship, with a capacity to carry the same amount of cargo as 23,000 shipping containers, is a marvel of modern technology. State-of-the-art engines make it one of the most fuel-efficient ships of its kind, a feat that is more impressive when you factor in its aircraft carrier rivaling width.The world’s largest offshore facility- longer than four Airbus A380s placed end to end, is Prelude FLNG. This 1,601 ft giant is designed to be mobile and is equipped with technology that allows it to extract, process, and liquefy natural gas at sea, enabling the extraction of natural gas from remote locations. Spurred on by the successes of these, man continues his race to build bigger and better.

These ships travel the oceans around the world. They carry containers or passengers within their huge vessels.

his shows you the giant aircrafts of the sky. This will make you wonder which one is bigger than the others. Let’s look at them!

Top 4 Largest Aircrafts.png

Does your mind wonder how planes stay up in the air, how they move, and how large they can get? Do you spend your journeys pondering on the latter? Read on to learn more about some of the largest aircraft in the world currently.  The Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner, the largest within the 787 family, is a dual-aisle, twin-engine jet produced by Boeing. Comprising a primary structure made with composite materials, this aircraft has a body so long that its mid-fuselage section cannot transport over the air. Despite its size and the 78,000 lbf of engine power, the 787-10 boasts one of the quietest cabins, partly helped by engine nacelles’ serrated edges. The 787-10 can accommodate 330 passengers as standard and 40 massive LD3 cargo containers in the underfloor hold - edging its main rival, the Airbus A380.The A380 is so huge that airports needed to upgrade their facilities to let in this behemoth and is the largest passenger aircraft in the world. It boasts 40% more usable space than the Boeing 747 and has a range of up to 8,477 nautical miles. Its size and prowess are emphasized by the three-minute wait required by other airplanes before they can start taking off after an A380 due to turbulence from its four engines. Understandably, you get extra legroom compared to other aircraft, even in Economy. If you thought planes could not get bigger than this, you would be much wrong. With a wingspan of 385 feet, the Stratolaunch aircraft is one special plane designed to launch rockets from high altitudes into space. To give some perspective, the largest passenger aircraft, the A380, has a wingspan of 262 feet. The Stratolaunch is powered by six Pratt &amp; Whitney engines and has three wings- two on either side and a third in the center, flanked by its two heads. While the cockpit on the starboard side is manned, the port-side cockpit stays empty and unpressurized. Every airplane enthusiast dreams of getting a glimpse of the aptly named Antonov AN 225 “Mriya”, meaning dream in Ukrainian. This aircraft was envisioned as a solution to the Soviet Union’s need to carry enormous payloads and cargo for its space program. With the collapse of the Soviet Union in the ‘90s, Antonov found a use for this leviathan by deploying it when large, niche cargo needed transporting. With 32 wheels under the aircraft and 242 world records under its belt, the Mriya created a fuss everywhere it went. Unfortunately, this six-engine beauty became a victim of the Russian assault on Kyiv’s Hostomel Airport, meeting its end.

This shows you the giant aircrafts of the sky. This will make you wonder which one is bigger than the others.

To withstand this massive weight  the carrier and superstructure of the CC 8800-1 is made extremely durable. The frame is made of longitudinal beams to accommodate three rope drums and the boom hoist. The split-type superstructure facilitates transportation.Heat-treated, high-strength cast steel is used to make the crawler pads. Two hydraulic motors power the crawlers via closed planetary gear units that run in oil baths and have spring-loaded, hydraulically released holding brakes.The control system of this giant includes two multicolor monitors, a load indicator, automatic power control to limit waste, standard working range limiter and a ground pressure indicator. The massive amount of information and aid in efficiency given to the operator allows for a safer and more efficient lift. Our third rank belongs to a very special kind of machine. Mammoet PTC 200 DS is the only &quot;ring crane&quot; on our list. A ring crane is a large construction crane that has a luffing jib. They are extremely rare. Only a few are in use, and they are all operated by specialized heavy-lift companies. Its slew pivot is formed like a ring rather than a small center spindle. The slewing piece above can slew even when hauling high loads with its wide base. The 246-meter (807-foot)-long Mammoet PTC 200 DS is a real monster, lifting up to 5000 US tons (4,535 metric tons). Liebherr&#39;s LR 13000, introduced in 2010, is the world&#39;s second tallest land-based crane. With the maximum lifting capacity of 3,000 tons this one is the most powerful conventional crawler crane in the world. One of its main areas of use is power plant construction. This gigantic crane can be transported at low cost throughout the world despite its size. The LR 13000 is the only crawler crane in this class which can also operate without derrick ballast. The LR13000 crane is powered by two 8-cylinder Liebherr turbodiesels with a combined output of 1360 horsepower. The winches come standard with a single drive for maximum dependability and serviceability. The concrete ballast units are packaged in 20-inch containers with twist locks, making them easily transportable. The LR13000 is built with increased superstructure ballast for operation without derrick ballast depending on the size of the job.

The cab is roomy and has the new LICCON2 crane control and a 3-monitor system with crane work planner. For the safety of the workers and machine, the crane comes equipped with a camera monitoring system of the winches and crane rear.The 1st place and the title of world’s tallest land-based crane goes to Sarens SGC 250 aka Big Carl, launched in 2018. This is the largest ring crane in the world in both size and capacity. Being 820 ft (250 m) tall, it is as tall as the One Atlantic Center in Atlanta, Georgia. It is powered by 12 CAT engines grouped in 6 pairs, each producing 420 hp for an impressive 5040 hp! The maximum load moment of this enormous crane is 275577.8 tons (250.000 metric tons), and it can lift 5,511 tons (5,000 metric tons). It is the sturdiest crane of its type and has all the capabilities and adaptability of a fully mobile ring crane, including winches and cables, hook blocks, and a 360° slewing capability. The crane&#39;s main boom can be extended from 387 ft (118 m) to 524 ft (160 m), and the jib can be extended up to 328 ft (100 m). So, this wraps up today&#39;s episode.

World's Top 5 Biggest Land Based Cranes

As there is a demand for larger payload capacities, dump trucks are constantly being manufactured in larger sizes. Let's check out the 5 biggest mining trucks!

Giant-Dump-Truks-thumb_8.png

As there is a demand for larger payload capacities, dump trucks are constantly being manufactured in larger sizes. Customers prefer to use a single large dump truck rather than a fleet of smaller trucks because of their massive haul ability.Some mining dump trucks are too large to be driven on public roads. Instead, they are disassembled and shipped to the customer, where they are then assembled on-site!Now, those are our kinda trucks don’t you think?Well then, without further ado, let&#39;s check out the 5 biggest mining trucks! Our first truck is Komatsu 960E-2K. This big boy is almost 42ft long and more than 25ft (7m)tall. It’s nominal payload is a mind blowing 360t. The heart of this machine is a high performance Komatsu SSDA18V170 engine producing 3.500 HP. Fuel efficiency is maximized due to optimized air handling with two-stage turbocharging. Field tested in the toughest applications, Komatsu Drive is a unique system that features improved torque capacity and a top speed of 40 mph. Since working in harsh environments necessitates special features to make the operator&#39;s life easier, the Komatsu 960E-2K cab design offers a comfortable and productive environment to meet today&#39;s mining demands. Tinted windows, heating and air conditioning, acoustical insulation, double-sealed doors, filters, and pressurized air are all standard features in the cab.Next in line is the mighty Liebherr T 284. Introduced in 2012 as the largest mining dump truck in the world this machine is equipped with the most powerful engine in the class, MTU 20V4000 C22 rated at 3000 kW (4023 HP). It continues to be the lightest (lowest empty vehicle weight) and most capable (highest payload) ultra-class mining truck.This ultra-class truck is capable of hauling up to 413 tons and is well-matched with a variety of hydraulic excavators, wheel loaders, and rope shovels. The overall length of this giant truck is 51.4ft (15.69m), the overall width is 31.4ft (9.679m) and the loading height is 24ft (7.42m). The model has no standard body capacity as all bodies are customized. The Liebherr T 284 haul truck can be fully loaded in just five passes when paired with Liebherr R 9800, the largest hydraulic excavator from Liebherr. (If you want to learn more about giant excavators don’t forget to check our video)Our third choice is the Caterpillar 797F. This one is one of the most productive 400-ton trucks in the market. It actually breaks that weight range with just 1 ton, as it weighs 401 tons. It’s fast, fuel-efficient, and delivers class-leading productivity, making it the industry benchmark for a lower cost per ton in its size class. Although the price varies based on individual customer specifications, each 797 costs approximately US$5,000,000. It has an overall height of 51 ft 6 in (15.70 m), an overall length of 49 ft 6 in (15.09 m), and a maximum speed of 42 mph (68 km/h). The tire size of the 797 is over 13 ft in diameter — that’s more than double the height of two average-sized men!The second place of our list belongs to another Caterpillar giant! Yes, we are talking about the awesome Caterpillar 798 AC. The 798 AC delivers a payload up to 410 tons, high speed on grade, easier maintenance, and excellent electric retarding and brake performance. The electrically-driven machine is powered by a 16-cylinder CAT C175-16 engine providing the power of 2610 kW (3500 HP) and can travel 39.7 mph (64 km/h). It has an overall body-raised height of 48.85 ft (14.8 m) and an overall high altitude only length of 51.87ft (15.8m). This machine is known for delivering the highest standard payload available in its size class.Ok. It’s time for us to hail the king!We are talking about none other than the colossal BelAZ 75710 which was developed by Belarusian engineers with the aim of having a suitable load for a Russian mining company. This behemoth is 65ft (20m) long, 32ft (10m) wide, and 26ft (8m)m tall. Well, to put it in perspective we can say that a typical ceiling height in an apartment is 8 feet. It weighs 400t empty and can carry 500t. Wait, this means that when fully loaded, this truck outweighs the Antonov An-225’s maximum take-off weight! Did you know it was the heaviest aircraft ever to take to the skies? The 75710 has 32 cylinders because it is powered by two V-16, 2330-HP engines, giving it a total of 4660 horsepower. Another reason for the two engines is if one of them breaks down, the other will ensure that the truck will reach the workshop by itself. Yeah, good luck trying to tow this one to the machine shop. BelAZ 75710 costs a whopping 6 million USD. Even its 5.7-ton heavy tires cost around $90,000 USD each!

We talked about 5 massive excavators. Well, in order to carry out the excavation that these behemoths dug up, other powerful machines are needed.
