Like, for example, this excavator trench.
The D-583 machine was developed in Minsk by a specialized design bureau No. 2.
Weight – about 40 tons, length – 15 m, height – 5 m. The productivity of the machine was 500 cubic meters of soil per hour.
The first tests took place in 1966. Two electric motors were used to drive the track movement. Instead of a shovel – two knives with a diameter of 4100 mm with an electric drive. The ditcher can operate from built-in power plants as well as from an external power source.
Mikhail Kolodochkin has been collecting unusual facts from the history of technology for many years. For example, did you know that in Russia there is a road tunnel 900 meters deep?
