Description

The Bagger 288 is a colossal bucket-wheel excavator.

Officially manufactured by the German industrial conglomerate Krupp (now part of ThyssenKrupp AG) for the energy company Rheinbraun (now RWE Power AG).

While it is an industrial tool designed for the precision extraction of lignite coal, its scale makes it look like a "land-ship" straight out of a science fiction epic—a mechanical titan patrolling the surface of a distant world.

The Land-Ship Breakdown The Massive "Primary Weapon": The front of the vehicle is dominated by a 21.6-meter (70-foot) rotating wheel of doom. This wheel carries 18 enormous buckets that can devour 240,000 cubic meters of earth per day—enough to fill a soccer field to a depth of 30 meters every 24 hours.

The Skeleton Crew: Much like a futuristic starship, this 13,500-ton behemoth requires a surprisingly small crew. Just five pilots are needed to operate the entire machine. Glacial Propulsion: It doesn't move so much as it "walks" at a maximum speed of 0.6 km/h. Supported by 12 massive caterpillar tracks, it exerts less ground pressure than a human footprint, allowing it to glide over grass and soil without sinking into the "planets" surface.

Energy Umbilical: The Bagger 288 is not self-powered; it is tethered to the regional power grid by a massive industrial umbilical cord that supplies 16.56 megawatts of electricity—enough to power a small human colony. Physical Dimensions According to technical specifications from Sibo and Worcon: Weight: 13,500 metric tons. Height: 96 meters (taller than the Statue of Liberty). Length: 220–225 meters (equivalent to two football fields).
