SRs 8000 edit

RB293 is a particular machine of the type SRs 8000. They are not two different excavators. Therefore I removed the confusing statement that SRs 8000 is now the biggest excavator instead of RB293.

The confusion may have been caused by the English version of the TAKRAF website. The German version is clearer:

'The biggest machine built, the Tenova TAKRAF SRs 8000, has a weight of 14.200 t and moves 240,000 m³ of overburden per day.' [1] versus
'Der größte Schaufelradbagger ist der Tenova TAKRAF SRs 8000 (RB 293). Bei einem Gewicht von 14.200 t bewegt er 240.000 m³ Abraum pro Tag.' [2]

Requested move edit

MAN Takraf RB293 → Bagger 293 — Reasons for the requested move: "Bagger 293" would be a better title because that name is used by the current owner (RWE) of the machine, and because "Man Takraf RB293" is an odd mixture of outdated names.

A few years ago "Man Takraf" (the manufacturer) changed its name to "Takraf".
A few years ago Rheinbraun (the previous owner) was overtaken by RWE, and the new owner refers to the excavator as Bagger 293 without the outdated initials RB.
The name "Man Takraf RB293" is odd because it mixes the manufacturer and the initials of the owner into one name.
In addition the proposed name would be more consistent with a similar article about its little brother, Bagger 288.
(May be the requested move is complicated by the fact that at present there is a redirection the other way around. Three pages ("RB293", "Takraf RB293", and "Bagger 293") are currently redirecting to "Man Takraf RB293"). Ceinturion (talk) 21:13, 8 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Some of the IPC entries in this article are irrelevant (about a different topic) or inadequately referenced. I propose to limit these entries to the ones relevant to this article which can be supported with a reliable secondary source. Nikkimaria (talk) 01:53, 26 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
