The insane cost of the largest excavator in the world!

[@baddonkey6876]

The dancin airplane killed me😂😂

[@robm3007]

I had a double take at the plane thought my eyes were losing the will to live 😂😂😂😂

[@curedham2963]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@johnvalencia7488]

I flew on that plane. 👍

[@That_97TRX]

It wasnt that funny

[@thestudentofficial5483]

When you own a God damn mine, these machines are pocket change

[@L3GHO5T]

You gotta spend money to make money. Just talking about the astronomical numbers just to run this thing imagine how much it brings in. I wonder how long it takes the “average”company that buys these machines pay them off

[@Tr1KSh0TTT]

Companies like these absolutely should have the cash reserve to buy as many as they like in full within reason.

[@Somebody71828]

​​@@Tr1KSh0TTT the companies don't buy it with cash, they take out debt plus a little bit of down payment.

[@carlstevens4981]

If you have the need for one of them, you don't worry about the cost. Your already loaded. You gave a gold mine 😂😂

[@BENTLE7]

Insane numbers are the numbers the mining company would generate having one of these If they’re keeping it operational it means that this company is absolutely stacked and on another level

[@arieltamang2206]

thats the reason why they run almost 24/7

[@Exo_Tyrannus]

It wouldn't surprise me if the ROI on these types of machines is arpund a couple months depending on the mine. Remmeber these companies are worth 10s - 100s of billions

[@SithLordmatthew]

Yeah there is a night shift and a day shift. It probably goes down for an hour or 2 each day to refuel and grease everything and clean air filters and stuff like that. Figure 11 million dollar loan at 6% for 20 years which is about the life of one of these and that's 78k a month. They don't let things that cost that much sit

[@johnvalencia7488]

I own 3. 👍

[@monkeman7259]

can i have one

[@YANKEETHOMAS13]

Im pretty sure that’s a Decepticon

[@ronblack7870]

the fuel cost varies and this fuel in the us would be the no road tax fuel since it's off road .

[@Nathan15038]

Yet, the returns are crazier😂

[@TheBozn]

11m seems way too little

[@elricmagar9307]

The fuel is different and is way cheaper than the normal fuel we use in our cars.

[@chelseapeters7187]

It's diesel fuel dude, he literally said it 😂

[@imik3y]

Why does this guy sound like Chris Griffin?

[@Ransomed1993]

That’s a 194 Bitcoin per excavator.

[@Aviationexpert100]

Just remember they don’t rum all year.

[@joel387ktm]

Yea they do the only time that mine equipment shuts down is for oil changes

[@bigmungus4864]

wrong. These mines run 24 hours a day. Only stop maintenance.

[@Aviationexpert100]

@@bigmungus4864 exactly

[@spannaspinna]

@@joel387ktm they have heaps of maintenance shutdowns ranging from 12hrs to weeks

[@NovelConsumer]

@@Aviationexpert100 ?

[@larrywarren1049]

Crazy....spend just as much to run n maintain 😮 what's the life expectation on 1 and 8f its worth having 1 how much does it cost when it goes down production wise

[@Veritas-invenitur]

I speculate that the companies who use these beasts have a rotation in play. 1 in the shop, 1 on standby, and the rest in rotation. The standby buffer comes with an enormous cost but the safety net ensures stability and productivity which is well worth the expense.

[@hammieism]

Bullshit math, who dafuq is running it for a year straight? More like 1.4-2 million if ran 8 hours a day 5 days a week a full year.

[@lewishr3850]

I mean it only makes money when it’s working so the owners would love it to run 24/7 haha but yeah math is wrong more likely 12-16hr days 7 days a week -5% for maintenance downtime

[@ledellgreen1722]

I'd be almost certain it's run around the clock. They have to get a great ROI. Time is money.

[@351Landau]

Its a 24 hrs a day machine. They're too expensive to sit idle.

[@kunaladhikari5215]

I work in mining in Australia, our sites operate 24/7 and these machines run constantly every day with only 12-24 hours of downtime per fortnight assuming no breakdowns.

[@JimmyMatis-h9y]

@kunaladhikari5215 Fortnight? I thought this was Minecraft! 🤭

[@Kalkknecht]

Still is relativly cheap, compared to the amount of money it costs to own and run my german bucket wheel excavator. Shouldn't have bought that damn thing😵‍💫🫠
