Some stats from the information sheet I got from them when I went to their open day a few years back:

the boom is 215 feet long,
the entire machine weighs 1200 tons.
the bucket capacity is 19 cu yd
it's max speed when walking is 0.2mph
it was built in 1947/48 and was brought to Britain in about 1952.

It's mahoosive, and well worth a look if you're in the areas!
