It is by far, one of the most common and recognizable BWEs built and sold by TAKRAF, with 56 Type SRs 2000s being commissioned and launched as of 2013.

[3][4][5] It was built to replace the aging Type SRs 1200s BWEs, with the Type SRs 2000s possessing more efficient and cost-saving energy power lines and drive conveyor belt systems.

[7][8] The bucket wheel excavator reaches 30 m digging height with a cutting depth of -10 meters.

[5] Although construction of the Type SRs 2000 began in 1989 with one of the first batches being sent to Ekibastusz in then Kazakh SSR (USSR),[5][2] it only began official global commissioning and serialization in 2008,[1] with the China-export model, the Type SRs (K) 2000 being commissioned in 2013.

[2] The Type SRs (K) 2000 export model has a slight modification that allows the BWE to resist temperatures varying from +39 °C down to -39 °C, which is needed given the varied temperature change in Inner Mongolia.
