First introduced in 1938, Joy shuttle cars continue to be the gold standard for batch haulage vehicles in the underground mining industry. Our shuttle cars are known for their exceptional reliability, lower operating costs, and sustained high levels of productivity.
Joy shuttle cars are designed to work as a system with continuous miners, efficiently removing cut material from the working face and maximizing the productivity of the entire section. Our product line includes:
10SC32: five models with rated load capacities ranging from 8 to 30 tonnes (9 to 33 tons) and operating heights from 1.3 to 2.7 m (53 to 104 in.)
10SC42: features a rated load capacity of 16 tonnes (18 tons) and is ideal for mid-to-high seam applications
21SC04: features a rated load capacity of 8 tonnes (9 tons) and is ideal for low- to mid-seam applications
The chassis and rolling gear on each of our shuttle car models were designed, using finite element analysis, to find the optimal balance of:
Volumetric load
Vehicle dimensions
Load-carrying ability
Fatigue life
