Bucyrus International Inc., formerly Bucyrus-Erie Company, celebrates 125 years of building heavy excavating machinery, including the largest earthmovers ever to roam the planet. Founded in 1880 by Daniel P. Eells and a group of business associates, the company built a diverse range of machines and grew to become the leading supplier of walking draglines, shovels, and drills to the surface mining industry. With its acquired companies, such as Marion Power Shovel and Ransomes & Rapier, Bucyrus built the entire roster of giant stripping shovels in the western world, and the record-breaking Big Muskle walking dragline. Over 90 percent of the giant walking draglines working today have been built by the Bucyrus companies. Throughout its history, Bucyrus has led the industry in innovative products designed to satisfy some of the world's toughest mining and earthmoving requirements. Bucyrus continues to meet the needs of surface mining customers worldwide with leading technology products. The fascinating history of this diversified company is unparalleled in the excavating world.Product Identifiers
