Development of protective canopy concepts for underground rail haulage equipment. Research report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7217330
The contractor developed protective canopy designs for rail haulage equipment. Canopy concepts were developed for three classes of rail haulage equipment, mainline haulage locomotive, secondary haulage locomotive, and small utility vehicles. Protective canopy concepts were developed for four particular machines. These were a GE-LME-2C, 50-ton locomotive; a GE-LME-2C209, 20-ton locomotive; a GE-LM-2010-B1, 8-ton locomotive; and a Lee-Norse Mine Mechanics Jitney, TJ-122. Wooden mockups for two machines, the 50-ton locomotive and jitney, were constructed. They were installed on their respective machines and evaluated underground. (GRA)
