...huge machine?

I saw this thing on discovery channel a while ago and i want
to see/read more about it, but i don't know what to search
for in Google.
I had this pic on my pc, but nor the filename or the url on
the pic could help me out.

I did a lot of searching and came across a lot of big
machines, but not this particular one, so if anyone knows
the name/brand of this thing, thx in advance

I've seen this pic before, and that thing is definately 110%
hardcore. What I want to know is why doesn't Tonka include
these things into their line of construction vehicle toys?
When I was a kid all we had were fucking dumptrucks. Don't
get me wrong dumptrucks are good for... dumping, but THAT
thing is what I would want as a fucking toy... those toy
companies are sittin on a gold mine here!

That is the second time I have seen that image today. Both
times this image has found it's way to me by totally random
means....

If you find out what it is I’d love to know.
