RH400


That red thing there people is the world's biggest hydraulic face shovel, the O&K (orenstein and koppel) terex rh400. It is classified in the 1000 ton class, and has 2 engines that produce up to 4400hp to power it's hydraulics that dig it's big bucket into the earth. If you're rich enough to buy it you must be rich enough to run, it costs only 12million USD without fuel, insurance, etc. And if it breaks down it will take more money to fix it than to buy a new one.
