Forgotten Giants: Uncovering Massive Abandoned Excavator Machines

These earth movers were built and dated back to the 50's and were the most modern digging machines at the time. Similar to the Bagger 258 but hidden and untouched. They provided energy for a power plant and in 3 hrs each machine managed to dig almost 3000 m3 minerals. In the mid 90's these bucket wheel excavators got abandoned because the mine were shut down due to newer technology. Instagram ►   / unseen.society
