During July, Bucyrus hosted an event in conjunction with Cliffs Natural Resources for the mining press and stock analysts at its facilities in Houston, Pa. Cliffs recently purchased a new fully automated Bucyrus GH 1600 plow system for the Pinnacle mine, located near Pineville, W.Va. This will be the first state-of-the-art plow system installed in the United States. The Pinnacle mine is the only longwall mine in the country that uses a plow instead of a shearing machine and the existing system needed to be replaced. This was a major achievement for both companies. They celebrated it with an afternoon soiree that included a preview of a portion of Pinnacle’s new equipment assembled and operating on the factory floor.
