The bucket-wheel excavator (also known as a bucket-wheel dredger or wheel bucket excavator) is a multi-bucket excavator that continuously digs using multiple buckets mounted on a rotating wheel at the front of the boom. It is designed for large-scale earth excavation, overburden removal in mines, and loading operations at large stockpiles. This type of excavator has a high production rate and considerable digging capacity, allowing it to directly excavate hard soils. In large construction, hydraulic engineering, and mining projects, it is often integrated with transport equipment to form continuous operation lines. Bucket-wheel excavators are categorized by production rate or machine weight into small, medium, large, super-large, and giant types. The larger models possess significant digging strength and are commonly used for mining. As a continuous operation equipment, the bucket-wheel excavator is considered one of the ideal multi-bucket excavation devices.
