Giant Machine catches bulldozer in claw

I believe that machine is at a moving coal mine in Germany. They have moved a village out of the way so they could continue mining the coal seam below.
 
That mine has been following a horizontal coal seam for years. They remove the top soil, get out the coal and put the soil back. I believe they plan to flood the area to create a lake after the mining is done.
 
This reminds me of a cover of either Galaxy or If magazine I think?
In one story the American mid-west is one vast wheat field.
It's harvested by combines the size of small towns!
 
I thought the crawler transporter was large, but it is tiny compared to this thing. The video says that the men who work on it walk about 6 miles every day, climb hundreds of stairs, etc.
