Bucyrus International, Inc. (NASDAQ: BUCY) designs, manufactures and markets surface and underground mining equipment. Founded as Bucyrus Foundry and Manufacturing Company in Bucyrus, Ohio, in 1880, Bucyrus moved the headquarters to the current location in South Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1893. In its early history, Bucyrus produced steam shovels. The current product line includes a range of material removal and material handling products used in both surface and underground mining.
Caterpillar Inc. is purchasing Bucyrus in a US$8.6 billion transaction that is expected to close in mid-2011.
Draglines
Draglines are the largest single bucket excavators built today and Bucyrus designs and manufactures the world's most technologically advanced.
Draglines are a primary excavating tool used in many surface mining operations worldwide. These highly productive machines operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week and are able to reach depths of 79.8 m (262 ft) with capacities up to 116.2 m3 (152 yd3). Offering the lowest material removal cost per tonne (ton) and an average operating life of 40 years, draglines are the most productive and versatile machine in the industry. Bucyrus offers more than 45 dragline specifications and on-staff application engineers who will help determine the solution that best addresses the mine's specific needs.

Shovels & Excavators
Bucyrus builds one of the most comprehensive rope and hydraulic shovel lineups in the industry. With operating weights ranging from 3,395 to 104,900 lbs., there's a Bucyrus shovel perfect for every job.
ROPE SHOVELS
Built especially for removing large amounts of overburden and ore, at a fraction of the cost per ton.
HYDRAULIC EXCAVATORS
Hydraulic shovel technology delivers increased digging forces and greater productivity.
Highwall Miner
Highwall Mining is an efficient, proven and durable method for mining coal from outcropping horizontal seams, in which an unmanned continuous miner is driven underground and operated in front of the highwall. The highwall mining machine stands on the pit floor, or on a bench, in front of the exposed seam and makes long parallel rectangular drives into the coal seam. A remote-operated cutter module is pushed into the seam by a string of push beams (unmanned coal-conveying elements) that transport the coal back to the entry of the drive onto a stockpile. The whole mining cycle is completed by a 3 to 4-man crew, with no personnel going underground at any time.
The Bucyrus Highwall Mining System produces in average of 110,000 tonnes (120,000 tons) of coal per month in coal seam up to 300 m (1,000 ft) in seams dipping up to 8 degrees, recovering up to 70% of in-place coal.
Open cast: Highwall mining is used to mine coal from underneath the final highwall, when the strip limit is reached due to economic reasons or surface conditions.
Contour mining: In a mountainous area, the Bucyrus Highwall Mining System can follow a coal seam along the side of the hill.
Trench mining: The unit mines coal from both sides of a purpose-prepared trench - this mining method is used when an open pit is not an option.
