Bagger 293, previously known as the MAN TAKRAF RB293, is a giant bucket-wheel excavator made by the German industrial company TAKRAF, formerly an East German Kombinat.[1][2]

Bagger 293 is 96 metres (315 feet) tall (the Guinness World Record for tallest terrestrial vehicle, shared with Bagger 288). It is 225 metres (738 feet) long (same as Bagger 287), weighs 14,200 tonnes (31.3 million pounds), and requires five people to operate. It is powered by an external power source providing 16.56 megawatts. The bucket-wheel itself is over 21.3 metres (70 feet) in diameter with 18 buckets, each of which can hold over 15 cubic metres (530 cubic feet) of material.

It can move 240,000 m3 (8,500,000 cu ft)[3] or[clarification needed] 218,880 tonnes of soil per day (the same as Bagger 288).
