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. Very Good.
