	Warranties
	We provide for the estimated costs that may be incurred under product warranties to remedy deficiencies of quality or performance of our products. Warranty costs are accrued at the time revenue is recognized. These product warranties extend over either a specified period of time, units of production or machine hours depending on the product subject to the warranty. We accrue a provision for estimated future warranty costs based on the historical relationship of warranty costs to sales. We periodically review the adequacy of the accrual for product warranties and adjust the warranty percentage and accrued warranty reserve for actual experience as necessary.
	The following table reconciles the changes in the product warranty reserve:

	Borrowings and Credit Facilities
	On October 12, 2012, we entered into a $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility that matures on November 12, 2017 (as amended, the "Credit Agreement"). Under the Credit Agreement, we also may request an increase of up to $250.0 million of additional aggregate revolving commitments, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, we pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.1% to 0.325% on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility based on our credit rating. Letters of credit issued under applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement represent an unfunded utilization of the Credit Agreement for purposes of calculating the periodic commitment fee due. Eurodollar rate loans bear interest for a period from the applicable borrowing date until a date one or two weeks or one, two, three or six months thereafter, as selected by the Company, at the corresponding Eurodollar rate plus a margin of 1.0% to 2.0% depending on the Company's credit rating. Base rate loans bear interest from the applicable borrowing date at a rate equal to (i) the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced by the administrative agent as its "prime rate," or (c) a daily rate equal to the Eurodollar rate plus 1.0%, plus (ii) a margin that varies according to the Company's credit rating. Swing line loans bear interest at either the base rate described above or the daily floating Eurodollar rate plus the applicable margin, as selected by the Company. The Credit Agreement requires the maintenance of certain financial covenants, including leverage and interest coverage ratios. The Credit Agreement also restricts payment of dividends or other returns of capital to shareholders when the consolidated leverage ratio exceeds a stated level amount. As of January 31, 2014, we were in compliance with all financial covenants of the Credit Agreement and had no restrictions on the payment of dividends or other returns of capital to shareholders.
	As of January 31, 2014, there were no direct borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Outstanding standby letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement, which count toward the $1.0 billion credit limit, totaled $186.0 million. As of January 31, 2014, there was $814.0 million available for borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
	On June 16, 2011, we entered into a credit agreement, which matures June 16, 2016, and provided for a $500.0 million term loan commitment (the “Term Loan”), which was drawn in full to partially finance the fiscal 2011 acquisition of LeTourneau Technologies, Inc. ("LeTourneau"). The Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments and contains terms and conditions that are the same as the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. The Term Loan is guaranteed by each of our current and future material domestic subsidiaries and requires the maintenance of certain financial covenants, including leverage and interest coverage ratios. As of January 31, 2014, we were in compliance with all financial covenants of the Term Loan.
	On October 12, 2011, we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% Senior Notes due in 2021 (the “2021 Notes”) at a discount of $4.2 million in an offering that was registered under the Securities Act. Interest on the 2021 Notes is paid semi-annually in arrears on October 15 and April 15 of each year, and the 2021 Notes are guaranteed by each of our current and future material domestic subsidiaries. At our option, we may redeem some or all of the 2021 Notes at a redemption price of the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed or the sum of the present values of the principal amounts and the remaining scheduled interest payments using a discount rate equal to the sum of a treasury rate of a comparable treasury issue plus 0.5%.
	In November 2006, we issued $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.0% Senior Notes due 2016 and $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.625% Senior Notes due 2036 (the “2016 Notes” and “2036 Notes,” respectively). Interest on the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes is paid semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, and the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes are guaranteed by each of our current and future material domestic subsidiaries. The 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes were issued in a private placement under an exemption from registration provided by the Securities Act. In the second quarter of fiscal 2007, the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes were exchanged for substantially identical notes in an exchange that was registered under the Securities Act. At our option, we may redeem some or all of the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes at a redemption price of the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes to be redeemed or the sum of the present values of the principal amounts and the remaining scheduled interest payments using a discount rate equal to the sum of a treasury rate of a comparable treasury issue plus 0.3% for the 2016 Notes and 0.375% for the 2036 Notes.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Derivatives	'
	Derivatives
	We are exposed to certain foreign currency risks in the normal course of our global business operations. We enter into derivative contracts that are foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the risks of certain identified and anticipated transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the respective operating unit. The types of risks hedged are those arising from the variability of future earnings and cash flows caused by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. These contracts are for forecasted transactions and committed receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies and are not entered into for speculative purposes. Consequently, any market-related loss on the forward contract would be offset by changes in the value of the hedged item, and, as a result, we are generally not exposed to net market risk associated with these instruments.
	Each derivative is designated as either a cash flow hedge, a fair value hedge or an undesignated instrument. All derivatives are recorded at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets under the heading Other current assets or under the heading Other accrued liabilities, as appropriate. Cash flows from fair value and cash flow hedges are classified within the same category as the item being hedged on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Cash flows from undesignated derivative instruments are included in operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
	For derivative contracts that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss of the derivative contract is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax. This amount is reclassified into the income statement on the line associated with the underlying transaction for the period(s) in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income for existing cash flow hedges are generally expected to be reclassified into earnings within one year and all of the existing hedges will be reclassified into earnings by August 2015. Ineffectiveness related to these derivative contracts was recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as a gain of less than $0.1 million and a gain of $0.3 million for the quarters ended January 31, 2014 and January 25, 2013, respectively.
	For derivative contracts that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income under the heading Cost of sales. For the quarters ended January 31, 2014 and January 25, 2013, we recorded a loss of $0.3 million and a loss of $0.6 million, respectively, related to fair value hedges, which were offset by foreign exchange fluctuations of the underlying hedged item.
	For derivative contracts entered into to hedge revaluation of net balance sheet exposures in non-functional currency that are not designated as a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge, the gain or loss is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income under the heading Cost of sales. For the quarters ended January 31, 2014 and January 25, 2013, we recorded a gain of $3.0 million and a loss of $1.5 million, respectively, related to undesignated hedges, which were offset by foreign exchange fluctuations.
	The following table summarizes the effect of cash flow hedges on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements:
	In thousands	Effective Portion
		Amount of Gain/(Loss) Recognized in Other Comprehensive Income			Gain Reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income into Earnings
	Derivative Hedging Relationship				Location	Amount

					Sales	50
	Quarter ended January 25, 2013	$	(3,308	)	Cost of sales	$	1,214
					Sales	8
	We are exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to the forward contracts. The terms of the forward contract determine the timing and amounts to be exchanged, and the contract is generally subject to credit risk only when it has a positive fair value.

Earnings Per Share	'
	Earnings Per Share
	Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share, except that the weighted average number of shares outstanding is increased to include additional shares from the assumed exercise of stock options, performance shares and restricted stock units, if dilutive.
	The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]	'
Fair Value Measurements	'
	Fair Value Measurements
	GAAP establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes information used in developing assumptions when pricing an asset or liability as follows:
	Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments;
	Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable for the instrument either directly or indirectly or quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; and
	Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the instrument where there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
	GAAP requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
	The following tables present the fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value and disclose the fair value of long-term obligations recorded at cost as of January 31, 2014 and October 25, 2013. As of January 31, 2014 and October 25, 2013, we did not have any Level 3 assets or liabilities.

	The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:
	Cash equivalents: The carrying value of cash equivalents approximates fair value based on the short-term nature of these instruments.
	Derivatives: The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is based on a valuation model that discounts cash flows resulting from the differential between the contract price and the market-based forward rate.
	Term Loan: The fair value of the Term Loan is estimated using discounted cash flows and market conditions.
	Senior Notes: The fair market value of the senior notes is estimated based on market quotations of similar instruments at the respective period end.

Contingent Liabilities	'
	Contingent Liabilities
	We and our subsidiaries are involved in various unresolved legal matters that arise in the normal course of operations, the most prevalent of which relate to product liability (including approximately 2,950 asbestos and silica-related cases), employment and commercial matters. We and our subsidiaries also become involved from time to time in proceedings relating to environmental matters. In addition, as a normal part of operations, our subsidiaries undertake contractual obligations, warranties and guarantees in connection with the sale of products or services. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty and favorable or unfavorable resolutions may affect our results of operations on a quarter-to-quarter basis, we believe that the outcome of such legal and other matters will not have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
	As of January 31, 2014, we were contingently liable to financial institutions and others for approximately $203.5 million for outstanding standby letters of credit, surety bonds and bank guarantees to secure the performance of sales contracts and other guarantees in the ordinary course of business. Of the $203.5 million, approximately $14.1 million relates to surety bonds and $3.3 million relates to outstanding letters of credit or other guarantees issued by non-U.S. banks for non-U.S. subsidiaries under locally provided credit facilities.

	We operate in two reportable segments: Underground and Surface. Crushing and conveying operating results related to surface applications are reported as part of the Surface segment, while total crushing and conveying operating results are included in the Underground segment. Eliminations consist of the surface applications of crushing and conveying included in both operating segments.
	Operating income (loss) of segments does not include interest income and expense, corporate administration expenses and the provision for income taxes. Identifiable assets are those used in our operations in each segment. Corporate assets consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, deferred tax assets, property, plant and equipment and deferred financing costs.

	In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-02, "Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." ASU No. 2013-02 requires presentation, either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, of the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. If a component is not required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety, cross references to the related footnote for additional information would be appropriate. ASU 2013-02 was effective for the Company beginning on October 26, 2013. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on our financial condition or results of operations but impacted the presentation of other comprehensive income in the footnotes of the financial statements.

	The following tables present condensed consolidated financial information as of January 31, 2014 and October 25, 2013 and for the quarters ended January 31, 2014 and January 25, 2013 for: (a) the Company; (b) on a combined basis, the guarantors of the Term Loan and of the 2016 Notes and 2036 Notes issued in November 2006, which include the significant domestic operations of Joy Global Underground Mining LLC, Joy Global Surface Mining Inc., N.E.S. Investment Co., Joy Global Conveyors Inc., Joy Global Longview Operations LLC and certain immaterial wholly owned subsidiaries of Joy Global Longview Operations LLC (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”); and (c) on a combined basis, the non-guarantors, which include all of our foreign subsidiaries and a number of small domestic subsidiaries (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”).
	The borrowings are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several unsecured basis by the Subsidiary Guarantors, which are direct and indirect 100% owned subsidiaries of the Company. We conduct all of our business and derive essentially all of our income from our subsidiaries. Therefore, our ability to make payments on the obligations is dependent on the earnings and distribution of funds from our subsidiaries. There are no restrictions on the ability of any of our domestic subsidiaries to transfer funds to the parent company. Separate financial statements of the Subsidiary Guarantors are not presented because we believe such separate statements or disclosures would not be useful to investors.

	The following tables present condensed consolidated financial information as of January 31, 2014 and October 25, 2013 and for the quarters ended January 31, 2014 and January 25, 2013 for: (a) the Company; (b) on a combined basis, the guarantors of the Credit Agreement and the 2021 Notes issued in October 2011, which include Joy Global Underground Mining LLC, Joy Global Surface Mining Inc., N.E.S. Investment Co., Joy Global Conveyors Inc. and Joy Global Longview Operations LLC (the “Supplemental Subsidiary Guarantors”); and (c) on a combined basis, the non-guarantors, which include all of our foreign subsidiaries and a number of small domestic subsidiaries (“Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”).
	The borrowings are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several unsecured basis by the Supplemental Subsidiary Guarantors, which are direct and indirect 100% owned subsidiaries of the Company. We conduct all of our business and derive essentially all of our income from our subsidiaries. Therefore, our ability to make payments on the obligations is dependent on the earnings and distribution of funds from our subsidiaries. There are no restrictions on the ability of any of our domestic subsidiaries to transfer funds to the parent company. Separate financial statements of the Supplemental Subsidiary Guarantors are not presented because we believe such separate statements or disclosures would not be useful to investors.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Recent accounting pronouncements	'
	In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-02, "Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." ASU No. 2013-02 requires presentation, either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, of the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. If a component is not required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety, cross references to the related footnote for additional information would be appropriate. ASU 2013-02 was effective for the Company beginning on October 26, 2013. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on our financial condition or results of operations but impacted the presentation of other comprehensive income in the footnotes of the financial statements
