Draaglijnen

Draaglijnen, also known as draglines, are heavy equipment used in the construction and mining industries for moving large amounts of material, such as soil, rock, or sand. They are characterized by their long, articulated boom and bucket, which allows them to reach and dig into areas that are difficult or impossible to access with other types of equipment. The boom is typically mounted on a rotating platform, which can be moved around to position the bucket accurately. The bucket is attached to the end of the boom and can be raised or lowered to scoop up material. Once the material is scooped up, the bucket can be swung around and dumped into a waiting truck or pile. Draaglijnen are often used in large-scale projects, such as the construction of highways, dams, and mines, as well as in the excavation of large holes for foundations or other purposes. They are typically operated by a team of skilled workers, who use a combination of manual controls and automated systems to operate the equipment.
