A little more perspective
GDMB’s report of an October 2010 visit to the operating Bagger 288 at Garzweiler gives its overall height as 96 meters. The account describes an operator-hosted inspection of the excavator and labels the height in its photograph caption. This is the journal’s published field-report reference, not a newly measured manufacturer survey.
The same report gives a 21.60-meter bucket-wheel diameter. That wheel is a component of the larger machine: the tall cable-support structures determine the upper outline. This comparison uses a working configuration with the digging wheel above the track-contact plane; varying the cutting arm does not turn the wheel diameter into the overall height.
Original technical side illustration of Bagger 288 with the selected 96-meter height and a 21.6-meter outer bucket-wheel envelope. The illustration constructs these two proportions directly; other dimensions, conveyor angles, tower details and crawler-row overlap are an interpretive configuration, not surveyed engineering geometry. This is not an authentic photograph or manufacturer CAD.
