When it comes to great and massive machines, CAT is one of the most well-known brands in the industry, and recently they launched a new beast on the list, which is probably the biggest wheel loader you have ever seen in your life. In this short video we take a look at how it looks as well as some numbers and statistics behind its size. Standing next to it is an awesome experience hence it would take you a ladder just so see the top of the massive tires. The biggest wheel loader was launched by CAT in January, 2016 and is called The 240 Tonne 994K.
Its massive scoop at the front is capable of lifting as much as 45 tons of weight. There are people standing in it while photographers are taking pictures of them.
Let us talk about its size in details. When its scoop, or bucket, is raised at max height, the biggest wheel loader in the world is as tall as 4 story building. That is whooping 41 feet tall! Its normal height, or when the scoop is lowered, is 23 feet, thus meaning that it would take a massive hangar just to park it. Its huge 72 liter engine is capable of making as much as 1850 HP.
The massive fuel tank of the loader can hold up to incredible 5678 liters of fuel thus meaning that it can run for 24 hours straight without being refilled. Could this be the best machine ever built?
At last, check out the world’s biggest machine ever made.
