History
Throughout company history, Bucyrus has led the industry in
innovative products designed to satisfy the world's toughest
earthmoving requirements.
The year 1914 marked the completion of the Panama Canal, one
of the largest excavation projects of the early 20th
century. Bucyrus machines were instrumental in its creation.
In the mid 1970’s Bucyrus began working with Siemens Energy
and Automation with the goal of creating the most
cost-effective electric drive system available. As a result,
the first all AC drive electric mining shovel was
commissioned in 1980.
At Bucyrus, technology is seen as a vital component in
helping our customers succeed. |
