Underground Personnel Carriers, Built for Your Mine

Q: What is a mantrip in mining?

A mantrip is a vehicle that carries mine personnel to and from the working area, either by rail or by rubber tire. AMAC builds both rail and rubber-tired mantrips, also called underground personnel carriers, for coal, potash, and hard rock operations.

Q: Can AMAC build a personnel carrier for a low-seam or narrow-entry mine?

Yes. Because we engineer each carrier from the ground up, we design around your exact seam height, entry width, and clearance. A low-seam height model is a standard custom option.

Q: How are underground personnel carriers different from surface vehicles?

Underground personnel carriers are engineered for confined clearances and mine-specific safety systems such as fire suppression and self-rescuer storage. They use low-profile frames, mine-rated braking, and lighting configured for underground travel, none of which a surface vehicle is built to handle.

Q: Does AMAC repair carriers built by other manufacturers?

Yes. We repair, rebuild, and supply parts for personnel carriers regardless of the original manufacturer. Reliable support across any manufacturer's equipment is part of how we work.

Not for a catalog.

AMAC underground personnel carriers safely transport your crew and all of their supplies and equipment to and from the working face. Manufactured, repaired, and rebuilt for coal, potash, and hard rock mining, with safety, speed, and durability at the front of every design.

— The Difference

Built to your mine's specs

Rail or rubber-tired, coal or potash, main haulage or confined section, we engineer the carrier around your operation, not the other way around.

Custom Engineering

Every carrier is engineered around your seam height, entry width, grade, and turning constraints. Passenger capacity, drivetrain, seating layout, and storage all specified for your mine.

Reliable Support

Repairs, rebuilds, and replacement parts for personnel carriers, including units built by other manufacturers. Our Bessemer shop handles teardown-to-reassembly rebuilds and custom upgrades.

Underground Safety

Automatic and manual fire suppression, SCSR and first aid storage, LED lighting, and heavy-duty mine-rated braking on every carrier we build.

HA Series End Clips

An end clip is the end section that mounts to a rail personnel carrier to carry crew or cargo. We engineer each end clip to your specific dimensions, mounting, and duty requirements, tailored to your equipment.
