It's a secret no longer, the cat is out of the bag... so to speak... http://www.im-mining.com/2012/09/24/introducing-the-super-ultra-class/
Cool!!!
This is the biggest hydraulic excavator ever made! 200 tons heavier than RH 400 ! I bet this thing can level down a huge city block in 30 minutes.
It's actually 320 tons heavier than an RH 400, and it's certainly impressive. I've been on board the prototype, and while there are a few things I don't care for about it, there are some neat ideas. The second machine, which is actually going to be the first one to dig dirt, is coming to a neighboring mine. It should be digging in April, and it will be very interesting to see how it performs.
Yes its quite heavier though it seems not to be bigger at all. It is hard to conclude this only from pictures. But I doubt there will be much of a size difference. Size is not what is important after all.
I wonder what the price tag on that would look like
A lot more than my salary that's for sure .....
