The World's Largest Shovel Still In Existence | BIG BRUTUS (Exclusive Footage & Pics)
Big Brutus is the nickname of the Bucyrus-Erie model 1850-B electric shovel, which was the second largest of its type in operation in the 1960s and 1970s. Equiped with a 90-cubic yard bucket, Big Brutus had an operating weight of 11,000,000 pounds, or 5,500 tons. Owned by Pittsburg & Midway Coal Company, the machine operated from 1963 until 1974. After facing the elements for a decade, Big Brutus was turned into a museum in 1985. You can still visit the giant shovel today in West Mineral, Kansas.
