			World’s Largest Mobile Machine: Inside the F60 Overburden Conveyor Bridge | Full Documentary
A steel giant that crawls across a mine, moving tens of thousands of tons every shift.
Meet the F60 overburden conveyor bridge—the world’s largest mobile work machine—operating in Brandenburg. Built for open-cast lignite mining, this metal colossus links bucket-wheel excavators to spreaders, carrying away overburden so nearby power plants stay supplied.
