Turn your AMAC shuttle car into a self-loading machine. Attaches in ten minutes.
One machine, one operator, loading and hauling. The Gathering Head adds powered arms and a conveyor that feeds material directly onto the shuttle car's live conveyor.
— WHY THE GATHERING HEAD
Key advantages
Speed
Ten-Minute Attachment
Hooks on the gathering head mate with locking pins on the shuttle car, and hydraulic quick connects supply the power. No tools, no separate crew.
Control
Full Joystick Integration
Elevating jacks, gathering wheels, conveyor speed, and loading apron angle all run from the operator's joystick. The full loading cycle is managed from the cab.
Loading
Dual Star Wheel CLAs
Two 30 HP star wheel motors operate in parallel, delivering variable loading speed up to 50 RPM with hydraulic pressure up to 4,000 PSI.
Visibility
Camera-Assisted Loading
Closed-circuit low-light cameras on the shuttle car can be positioned to let the operator monitor material loading in real time.
— TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Built to the numbers
— Engineered From the Ground Up
Built for the 8TD24, configurable for more
The Gathering Head Attachment was engineered alongside the 8TD24 Mid-Engine Shuttle Car, which was purpose-built for belt cleanup and rehabilitation with self-loading capability. If you have an existing AMAC shuttle car and want to add self-loading capability, our engineering team can walk you through retrofit options for your specific configuration.
Service from the people who built it
AMAC engineers, builds, and services the Gathering Head in-house. Repair, rebuild, parts, and maintenance are handled directly by the team that designed the attachment, quickly and with clear communication. From a worn component to a full rebuild, you are working with the people who built it.
