When it comes to shuttle cars-there's only one thing separating Joy from all others: everything

摘要

It was in 1938 that Joy invented the shuttle car, by far the most popular and most productive haulage vehicle serving the mining industry. "Except for about a dozen shuttle cars operating in trona, gypsum and potash mines, virtually all 2,600 shuttle cars in operation worldwide today serve the underground coal industry, hauling nearly a billion tons of material annually," Mr Dickey said. "Significantly, fully 2,000 of those 2,600 shuttle cars are Joy built. "Just ten years ago, there were only three other companies providing shuttle cars to the coal industry, now there are seven," Mr Dickey said, "but there still is only one manufacturer that designs their shuttle car from the ground up and the inside out, and that one is Joy. Where Joy has led, no one truly has been able to follow."
