both land and water.On land,the Duck travels on six wheels.In water,the Duck uses a propeller.The Duck can carry people and supplies to places that are hard to reach.Rescue workers sometimes use this truck to pick up people caught in storms.You can even ride a Duck for fun in some places.Vehicle BridgeThis amazing machine is both a vehicle and a bridge.The vehicle bridge is used in places where there are no roads or bridges.The vehicle moves the bridge into place.Then the bridge moves up and over the gap.Other vehicles can then drive across.When the bridge is no longer needed,it folds up onto the vehicle.Ducks can travel 50 miles per hour(80 kph)on land and 6.3 miles per hour(10.1 kph)in water.Soldiers practice using a vehicle bridge.Bigger Than a Monster Truck Level O56Vehicles That

cargo.Some of the worlds largest cranes move containers from ships to land.Others are used to lift supplies to the tops of buildings.Dump TrucksThe worlds biggest dump trucks are found at mines.Miners use these trucks to haul loads of rocks and dirt.Some trucks can move up to 400 tons of soil.Because they carry such heavy loads,they use some of the biggest tires in the world.Their tires are over 13 feet(4 m)talltwice as tall as a person.This dump truck is the largest truck in the world.Heavy cranes are big enough to set up structures.Bigger Than a Monster Truck Level O78CranesCranes lift and

on huge wheels instead of on train tracks.Each wheel is about 10 feet(3 m)high and has its own motor.The longest overland train was almost 600 feet(183 m)long and pulled twelve cars.The lead car held six people,beds,and a kitchen.Moving Space VehiclesSome of the worlds biggest vehicles were made to move spacecraft.They carry rockets,space shuttles,and other vehicles on a platform two stories high.These vehicles are so wide that they need their own road.Computers and a team of thirty people help these huge machines move.This vehicle moves space shuttles at a top speed of.9 miles per hour(1.4 kph).Overland trains,which are used to pull large loads,have many cars.Bigger Than a Monster Truck Level O910Overland TrainsThese giant trains were built to haul loads to remote places

giant power shovels to dig loads of rocks and dirt out of a mine.These shovels have a big bucket that can break into the earth and scoop it up.Power shovels can be as tall as a sixteen-story building.Tunnel DiggersThese machines dig tunnels under the earth.Tunneling machines can even move through solid rock.They use a drill to dig through the ground.These machines dug three tunnels under the ocean between England and France.The tunnels are big enough for large trains to pass through.Some giant power shovels load dump trucks full of sand.Machines like this one dug a tunnel between England and France.Bigger Than a Monster Truck Level O1112Vehicles That DigGiant Power ShovelsMiners use giant power shovels to dig loads of rocks and dirt out of a mine.These shovels have a big

the world is the Bagger 288.This enormous machine is used for digging in mines.The Bagger is 705 feet (215 m)longalmost as long as two football fields.The Bagger digs using a gigantic wheel.The wheel has buckets along its edge that scoop up dirt as the wheel turns.The Bagger 288 is big enough to move mountains.Do You Know?People have built enormous vehicles since ancient times.The Helepolis(hehLEH-puh-lis)was a huge tower built on wheels.It was used in battles in ancient Greece.The Helepolis was so heavy that more than 3,000 men were needed to move it.The Bagger 288 moves to a new mine.The Bagger 288 weighs 13,500 tons.HelepolisBigger Than a Monster Truck Level O1314Bagger 288The largest vehicle in the world is the Bagger 288.This enormous machine is used for digging in
