15 Most Incredible Monster Machines of All Times!

I don't know about you but when I'm on the road driving my car I get a bit intimidated by a truck sitting next to me particularly a big one I mean what happens if they decide to jump lanes well these monster machines make the regular trucks on our roads look like matchbox toys I kid you not from the fourteen thousand 196 tonne excavator to the million dollar yacht transporter here are 15 most incredible monster machines of all times number fifteen bucket-wheel excavator now if you think driving an excavator all day for work would be a breeze don't apply for a job where they use this beast let's face it you would have to be pretty fit to cope with working on this machine each day with more than 2,000 steps and about half a mile of walkway it isn't out of the question for members of the crew to walk over six miles during a shift get on your Apple launch guys because your daily steps are gonna go through the roof the bucket-wheel excavator is a massive machine built specifically to scoop up earth and carry it away but this monster is no average excavator it is the bagger 293 it weighs over 14,000 tons and is both the largest and heaviest land vehicle on the planet it has 18 buckets each able to hold up to 6,600 litres of soil and can shift 8.4 75 million cubic feet of Earth in a single day the equivalent of around 3 million bathtubs and that's a lot of dirt at 315 feet tall and 740 feet long this excavator creates a scene wherever it goes and when it comes to fuel economy let's just say it won't challenge a Prius anytime soon before we go on we have a cool challenge for you all it'll take about five seconds to complete let's make a deal just leave a like on this video smash that subscribe button and hit the notification bell and you will get 10 years of amazing luck and fortune try it it actually works now it's time for the start topic just imagine you're driving down the highway mining your own business and you spot this monster truck at first glance it looks for all the world like a couple of giant gas bottles from the SodaStream machine you purchased in Walmart bearing the Indian flag it may be gas but what for is the photo even real or as have been taken by an opportunistic photographer like touristy ones in front of the Eiffel Tower where it looks like they have the tower in the palm of their hand I think there's more to this picture than meets the eye what about you as always comment down below with the hashtag star topic and let us know your opinion in relation to what we just showed on screen let's move on to the next one number 14 the yacht Express we all know that yachts come in all shapes and sizes with most being of the larger and luxurious variety so imagine if you will a floating vessel built specifically for carrying them across the water the Yacht Express is the largest vessel of its kind in the world stretching the length of almost two football fields this beast was built to stand out in a crowd and wouldn't be missed in the ocean that's for sure forming part of the dockwise yacht transport fleet this vessel is based in Fort Lauderdale Florida and provides the world's only float on float off service the company has a fleet of 15 semi submersible vessels and their sole purpose is to transport other heavy maritime cargoes to ports mainly between Florida and the Mediterranean the yacht express itself joined the fleet in May 2007 and was seen in Australia and New Zealand waters before traveling to its base in Florida it is 130 feet longer than any other carrier weighs 15,000 tons and offers a deck space of five thousand 115 metres now that's impressive with a service speed of 18 knots a transatlantic voyage takes between 8 and 15 days 50 percent faster than previously number 13 the NASA crawler imagine being responsible for the transportation of a rocket carrying it to its launching pad and watching it take off on its mission to space well that's the job of the NASA crawler this behemoth machine has held the important role of transporting rockets and spacecraft to the launch pad at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida for more than 50 years and it doesn't look like it's being replaced anytime soon constructed in 1965 to move the massive Saturn 5 rocket from Kennedy's Vehicle Assembly Building to launch complex 39 the crawler transporters measure 90 feet across the size of a baseball infield powered by locomotive and large electrical power generator engines these machines have been built to last withstanding both time and the pressure of transporting some of the most important technology in the world the crawler transporter can transport 18 million pounds or the weight of more than 20 fully laden 777 airplanes and weighs as much as 15 statues of Liberty 6.6 million pounds number 12 the nexus for those among you that have ever wondered how cables are laid at sea you can now wonder no longer submarine cables are very important in today's world connecting offshore facilities such as wind farms at sea to the main grid the massive task involving many man-hours it's made simpler with the help of the Nexus with it's shorter hull Van Ords first cable laying vessel is a remarkable piece of equipment designed to operate in shallow waters in fact it can even breach if necessary equipped with a huge cable carousel with a capacity of more than 5,000 tons and an offshore crane that allows it to lay heavy and long export cables the Nexus was deployed to an offshore wind project on its first voyage in March 2015 boasting state-of-the-art technology and marine ingenuity the modern vessel measures 123 metres long and is equipped with a dynamic positioning system the multi-purpose Nexus has two main functions scour protection and cable laying with some vessels deployed to carry out both activities it installs subsea rock around the foundations of the wind turbines for scour protection purposes and can be equipped with a turntable reels or winches when in cable-laying mode the deck layout has been future-proofed in anticipation of impending market requirements for challenging cable installation works and there is accommodation for 90 people on board number 11 Mamo ed with a name like Mammoet it comes as little surprise that this self-propelled modular transporter can carry mammoth loads one of the most unusual trucks ever built the Mammoet is made up of several units joined in a variety of configurations depending on the weight and size of the load to be transported the Mammoet company specializes in transporting huge loads with one example being the transportation of a 500-ton gas tank in malaysia the tank was transported 15 miles and considered one of the most spectacular projects the company had been involved in the gigantic 165 foot long load was hauled by just on driver the trip took a whole day reaching the local port at nightfall where it was loaded onto a ship but if you think this load was big the Mammoet can carry even bigger loads with its modular concept allowing it to expand and contract as necessary meaning there really is no limit to what they can carry a truly clever system with all wheels able to turn 360 degrees together or separately so the transporters can drive forwards or backwards sideways diagonally and even in a circle number 10 bagger 288 excavator if you think of an ocean liner the Titanic might spring to mind weighing 46,000 328 tons the ocean liner that sunk on its maiden voyage is only slightly larger than this excavator the bagger 288 at 705 feet long 311 feet tall and weighing forty-five thousand five hundred tons this machine is a beast it can move a whopping eight point forty eight million cubic feet of material a day enough to fill a ninety eight foot deep football-field-sized tall so it's easy to see why it took ten years to build this multimillion-dollar monster specifically built for stripping enormous open pit coal mines in Germany the 288 has an enormous 70 foot wheel containing 20 buckets each scooping up to 12 tons of material a second the equivalent of 10 mid-sized cars the colossal machine can also output enough material a day to fill 98 Olympic sized swimming pools now that's a lot of material I should know look at how much material we pump out on this channel sitting on 12 enormous crawlers and measuring 49 feet long and 12 feet wide it comes as no surprise that this thing is difficult to transport in fact because of its tremendous weight it can destroy roads crushing cement and anything else in its path but it's cheaper to rebuild the roads after the giant is passed through than to disassemble the 288 and reassemble it at another mine go figure number 9 surf ATV an impressive off-road vehicle that can tackle almost anything the Russian sure is pretty much human not only can it swim it can also climb over obstacles over 27 inches I the sharp all-terrain vehicle is also amphibious and can move from land to water with ease in fact as Creedence Clearwater Revival famously put it in there hit and proud Mary the sharp ATVs big wheels keep on turning no matter what the conditions or the terrain when you first set your eyes on the vehicle it doesn't look real with its compact body and huge wheels it looks like something out of a cartoon or video game rather than a roadworthy vehicle with no terrain off limits this Russian vehicle is indeed real and is a hell of a way to drive over anything short of a sheer cliff unless you have a parachute attached perhaps the sharp was developed by technologists alexei guerra gosh Ian and his team of like-minded Souls who were keen on creating a vehicle with supreme terrain navigation capabilities with massive tires standing 160 centimeters tall and a ground clearance of nearly 2 feet the sharp underbody glides over terrain that hasn't even been cleared from brush fields into swamps over dreadful strewn forest floors and up and over talus fields you name it this tough terrain master can conquer in taking man where no man has gone before a little bit like walking on the moon doesn't it number a the sea wise giant built in a shipyard in Kanagawa Japan from 1979 to 1981 the sea wise giant was the largest oil tanker ever built with a 50-ton propeller 230 ton rudder and weighing a whopping 564 thousand tons in total that surprises me as this thing could even stay afloat originally ordered by a Greek shipping magnate who refused to take delivery of the vessel upon completion the tanker was sold to an overseas container line in Hong Kong for the purpose of transporting oil across the ocean twice the size of the Titanic the ship was purposely sunk in 1988 and then resurrected just a year later why you may ask well because she couldn't navigate the English Channel and took five miles to slow to a halt rendering her next to useless he from the seabed in 1989 the ship was repaired and on sold a further six times before being broken down for scrap at an Indian scrapyard in 2010 a process that took thousands of laborers thousands of hours this massive hulk cost millions changed hands and was renamed six times and was only in service for 30 years seems like it was a bit of a lemon to me but hey what would I know number 7 burr lack sand ice snow or water this six wheeled amphibious vehicle can handle it all [Applause] no job is too tough for the burlap with all the units and assemblies accessed from inside of the cabin harsh polar conditions can't stop this all-terrain vehicle from getting the job done it's waterproof body design and propeller also allow the burlap to float and maneuver among the ice cracks and make controlling the vehicle no more difficult than a typical on-road passenger vehicle simply belt up and settle in for a ride to the North Pole if you so wish with a front-mounted turbo diesel engine automatic gearbox an independent double wishbone spring suspension that ensures road clearance from 720 to 750 millimeters the BER lack not only travels like a dream passengers can be as short of a quicker and safer journey across any terrain the body is lined with aluminum sheet one to two millimeters thick and it weighs seven tons but with a cabin design for ten people a kitchen wash basin and a shower this vehicles no shrinking violet it is big and built tough to withstand any conditions thrown at it and for those with a penchant for fresh water the burlock has a snow melting device on board which allows passengers to obtain up to 30 litres of drinking water well isn't that fancy number six shaman eight wheeler this impressive Russian made eight wheeler is the biggest SUV to ever hit the market the after os-- is huge measuring six point three meters in length and 2.5 meters across the size of two Range Rover SUVs this thing is a monster and it chews through gas like one too consuming about 25 litres of diesel fuel every 100 kilometers the shaman has a three liter 6-cylinder iveco turbo diesel engine and the capacity to switch between on-road off-road and crab mode which turns all eight wheels to move sideways the driver sits in the center just like the McLaren f1 but that's where the similarities end this is no sleek race car it was built for harsher environments than those dished out on the track the Russian born shaman can deal with almost anything including snow swamps steep terrains and deep waters yeah this 8 wheeled beast is also amphibious allowing it to tackle any terrain known to man from land to water and back again equipped with low pressure tires this atv makes off-roading more comfortable than ever but with a starting price of $200,000 they're hardly flying out the door in fact the shaman is yet to hit the American market number five big dog 4x4 this is one awesome looking truck guaranteed to make heads turn wherever it goes and for all the right reasons I mean for one it's a first responder the big dog 4x4 is a versatile firefighting apparatus and forms part of a first response team along with rush trucks crash trucks and pumpers the custom outfitted off-road vehicle has been designed and engineered to enable firefighters to go where they need to go with little hassle plenty of grunt and a host of Handy features no stone has been left unturned in this monster trucks designed ground sweeps bumper mounted monitors and sprayers skid plates and rear stowaway bumpers make this truck a very useful tool for the firefighting community not your average everyday fire truck the big dog is not on the world's most capable most durable 4x4 firetruck on the planet it's also the most sought-after on today's market no surprises there this multi-purpose fire truck means business boasting 25 inches of ground clearance and locking differentials it also has a roll cage perfect for fighting off road fires the almost indestructible Big Dawg can tackle brush fires and motor vehicle accidents all in the same day what a legend number four rip saw Evie this vehicle makes light work of the often difficult desert terrain driving at high speeds and navigating the sand covered earth like a pro the ripsaw Xtreme vehicle super tank is one of the most sought-after high-performance luxury vehicles in the world but it doesn't look it this thing isn't flashy by any stretch of the imagination I mean it's no Ferrari or Lamborghini that's for sure but what it does have is adaptability this vehicle takes to the desert like a duck to water riding the sand dunes like a boat rides the waves in the ocean originally built for the US Army as a lightweight go fast super tank the ripsaw is the fastest dual tracked vehicle ever built thousands of man-hours went into both its design and creation with the result a beautiful and rugged vehicle ideal for the high end luxury car market and extreme off-road enthusiasts an unusual combination that works these unique off-road vehicles take up to six months to fabricate that'll set their new owner back over half a million dollars depending on their specification requirements easy to drive in in a league of its own when it comes to capability speed sheer adrenaline and luxury the ripsaw is a get dirty vehicle with an industrial interior and boat like appearance with a cluster of racecar instruments at your fingertips get in and drive it like you stole it number three heeey Oh rescue this off-road vehicle designed and built by Romanian company Gyo looks for all the world like a dune buggy one you would see skipping across the sand dunes at the beach on a summer's afternoon the difference is this buggy or ATV is a giant in comparison affectionately known as the four wheeled hero the rescue is described as a Superman with a diesel heart it can Ford rivers in a single bound and has more ground clearance than an elephant on stilts can you imagine picture and original Hummer and Batman's tumbler having a baby and you have the rescue the ultimate machine to serve humanity in the toughest conditions this extreme machine is designed to go almost anywhere and can be designed for fighting fires medical support or simply transporting passengers it seats 11 people can cross even the most hellish terrain and holds nearly 200 gallons of water as well as an assortment of pumps and hoses it can also be fitted with pneumatic pillows on each wheel to power float its way across a small lake if required and tank style tracks allow it to adapt to snow as well I like how with something like this floating is power floating powered by a six litre Chevy v8 the rescue tips the scales at 3,200 kilograms heavy duty and durable this vehicle is massive easily dwarfing your average passenger van if you're in the market for something fun yet practical and add between seventy nine thousand and one hundred nineteen thousand pounds at your disposal then add this to your list number two the BVS 10 this machine looks for all the world like an army tank and consists of two sections linked by a steering mechanism with tracks instead of tires the Viking BVS 10 Beowulf is an all-terrain tracked vehicle that was unveiled for the first time during a defense exhibition in September 2015 a potential replacement for its predecessor the b.y 206 it was promoted to the British Royal Marines as being suitable for a wide range of combat missions it combines the best of BV 206 VB 206s and BBS 10 and offered excellent strategic and tactical mobility for worldwide operations fully amphibious the BDS 10 was fitted with a more powerful engine than the b.y 206 was larger and faster and had a greater load capacity it could operate in temperatures from negative 46 degrees Celsius to 46 degrees Celsius and can work in the jungle desert and arctic conditions and for rapid deployment there were also several variants of the Viking trialed by the varnish Army in Afghanistan including an ambulance troop carrier command vehicle and logistic carrier a solid unit these vehicles weigh 10 tons fully laden offer great mobility and are expected to still be in service beyond 2030 one number-one wheel loader the late or Noel 2350 is a monster loader more than 20 feet high the rubber wheeled front loader can lift the equivalent of 30 cars over its head with ease even its tires are you weighing 7 tons of piece the world's biggest most powerful and productive front-end loader in its

bucket of 40 point 52 cubic meters and a 2300 horsepower engine for those concerned about excessive fuel consumption or the effect of emissions on the environment this beast has SR hybrid drive technology it also comes in three left arm configurations standard high and super high the first rubber tyred front loader by late or no was manufactured in 1946 but today's version bears little to no resemblance to its much smaller ancestor the l23 50 is a behemoth in comparison launched to the world at the 2000 world mine Expo in Las Vegas Nevada it made the Guinness world record book as the world's largest earth mover record that still stands today when you think monster truck images of normal size trucks with oversized tires come to mind but talk monster machines and things start to get
