What is this heavy-duty vehicle, one of the biggest pieces of machinery ever built?

Answer Dragline excavator

Dragline excavators dig deep into the Earth and are often used in surface mining and civil engineering. Some are so heavy, they're built on-site; others include standard cranes for lifting. The heavy-duty equipment drags materials across distances, using a drag rope, hence the name.
