During the Second World War, the company developed a trench-cutting machine known by the code name Cultivator No. 6 at the behest of Winston Churchill.

A limited company, Ruston-Bucyrus Ltd., was formed in 2005, by Paul and Frank Murray (Brothers) as co-directors. This has no ties to RB Cranes which holds all of the original machine information and drawings.
