R. G. LeTourneau Heavy Equipment
The Electric-Drive Era 1953-1971
by Eric Orlemann
|
|
|
|
|
In the history of heavy equipment development, no single man's
name is more respected than that of R. G. LeTourneau. Robert
Gilmour LeTourneau is considered by many to be the dean of
high-speed mobile earthmoving equipment. His designs of the
1920s, 30s, and 40s laid the fundamental groundwork for many of
the earthmoving machines we see today. Self-propelled, rubber
tired scrapers, bulldozing blades, and rippers were all conceived
under his engineering genius in the quest for moving material at the
lowest-cost-per-yard. This book covers up until the sale of the
company to Marathon in 1971. Standard production, specials, and
experimental machines are shown in rare archival images, some
being shown in print for the very first time, help showcase what made
R. G. LeTourneau so important in the heavy equipment industry.

Bucyrus: Making the Earth Move
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 Muskie" walking dragline. Over 90
percent of the giant walking draglines working today have
been built by the Bucyrus companies.
