Rigs That
Don’t Quit
Our founder, Herb Minatre, has been building heavy equipment since 1978. Along the way, he helped shape foundation drilling with the original LōDril–a name contractors still know and trust. Today, we engineer and manufacture our rigs in Rathdrum, Idaho – where you’ll still find Herb walking the full property each morning, greeting every person here. The care he shows our people carries through to our customers: build the rig they need, take pride in every build, and stand beside them long after delivery. He understands that behind every rig is a business, a crew, and a livelihood. “Rigs that don’t quit” isn’t a slogan around here. It’s the build spec.
Built Around Your Work
Custom rigs have been part of Bay Shore since day one. Carrier, mast, kelly, winch – we build around your job and keep developing rigs for the work ahead.

The rig that built the Bay Shore name.
