  Was able to find some more details - it’s the bucket of an RH340 excavator at the Poitrel coal mine in Australia, probably damaged while moving massive rocks about

  The whole machine looks like this Image

    Even with the door there that should indicate scale, that machine doesnt feel like its anywhere near as large as OPs picture.

      Looks fine to me - the door seems to be about half the height of the bucket, which fits with the guy in the original picture

        Oh yeah it looks fine, if you scrutinise it and measure it, but it doesnt feel fine.

      Then don’t look at the door…look at the bolt holding the bucket on the arm and the look at the size of the hart hat.

      Big bolt

  Me too. I’ve worked extensively on open pit mines, and I’ve never seen anything like that in my time there.

  I’m not an expert or even an equipment operator, but I’ve seen them break shit. Buckets are tough. One that big is very tough.
