Mine and Tunnel Cars
Keeping Mining & Tunneling Jobs On-Track for More Than a Century
Rail-Based Cars That Exceed Expectations Time After Time
Whether you’re involved in mining or tunneling, and no matter how tough the conditions, our muck cars, Granby cars, ballast cars, pump cars, roof support cars and low boy equipment carriers will give you the highest value possible for your purchasing dollars.
Besides providing you with new equipment, our in-house machining and fabrication facilities enable us to repair components in a fraction of the time it takes to build a new car.
In addition, our vast inventory of wheels, wheel assemblies, power transmission components and bearings makes it possible for you to schedule equipment repairs in ways that maximize your uptime.
Our acquisition of the Balco product line has made us a leader in the design and production of battery-powered, diesel/hydraulic and DC trolley locomotives which can be customized to meet MHSA explosion-proof requirements, special clearance configurations and various track gauges. We can also equip our units with operator or passenger cabs and radio/remote control.
As a single-source provider of total haulage solutions, we are committed to working with you as a strategic partner.
Moving Heavy Industry in the Right Direction
Rugged. Dependable. Innovative. Cost-Effective.
That’s a perfect description of the heavy-duty, rail-based material handling equipment that we’ve been designing and manufacturing for more than a century.
Although our name has changed over the years, one thing has remained constant: Applying our vast experience to the development of total haulage solutions that are customized to your current needs and flexible enough to serve you in the future.
Our car bodies are made of all-welded, reinforced steel, and our wheels are made of the highest quality cast or forged steel, with tread diameters to suit your particular requirements. Likewise, you can select the couplers and cushioning devices that are appropriate for your application.
To help you guide your mining and tunneling cars reliably, we offer a complete line of battery-operated, diesel/hydraulic and D.C. trolley locomotives that contain the latest in control technology.
For the best single-source supplier of rail-based material handling equipment and systems, look no further than Irwin!
