WHAT DOES DRAGLINE CRANE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

dragline crane

Dragline excavator

A dragline excavator is a piece of heavy equipment used in civil engineering and surface mining. Draglines fall into two broad categories: those that are based on standard, lifting cranes and the heavy units which have to be built on-site. Most crawler cranes with an added winch drum on the front can act as a dragline. These units are designed to be dismantled and transported over the road on flatbed trailers. Draglines used in civil engineering are almost always of this smaller, crane type. These are used for road, port construction, pond and canal dredging, and as pile driving rigs. These types are built by crane manufacturers such as Linkbelt and Hyster. The much larger type which is built on site is commonly used in strip-mining operations to remove overburden above coal and more recently for tar-sand mining. The largest heavy draglines are among the largest mobile land machines ever built. The smallest and most common of the heavy type weigh around 8,000 tons while the largest built weighed around 13,000 tons. A dragline bucket system consists of a large bucket which is suspended from a boom with wire ropes.
