HUGE SCOOP SHOVEL LIFTS LARGEST TRUCK WITH EASE

One of the largest scoop shovels in the world, weighing 2 million pounds and towering as high as a 14-story building, is in operation at strip coal mining operations at Seelyville, Ind.

Coupled with the mining operations are giant motor trucks and trailers that haul 30-ton loads of coal; so huge and heavy are they that they are not permitted on public highways and can be used only on the company’s grounds.
