MJ Engineering was approached by a client to analyze the canopy design of a new mine shuttle car. The West Virginia-based customer asked us to verify that its shuttle car conformed to all current mining standards.

Using finite element analysis (FEA) we tested the shuttle car’s canopy and provided the needed engineering design to guarantee that the canopy conformed to MSHA standards and load ratings. Because of MJ Engineering’s outstanding design team, our customer was able to avoid the difficulties and cost of purchasing and maintaining FEA software and having to keep a professional engineer on staff. As always MJ Engineering also provided our client independent design advice and an industry leading level of customer support.

If you have any questions about this project or any of our other services please contact MJ Engineering or check out the details listed below.
