    Bagger 288 (and its sibling, Bagger 293) are probably the biggest machines which move freely on soil. They’re about 225 m long, 96 meters tall and weigh 14 200 tons.

    In the length category, the F60 overburden coveyor bridge (which moves on rails) is (was?) several times bigger, at 502 m length. It weighed less, however, at 13,600 tons.
