The Volvo Penta D5 off-road engine will power J&S Manufacturing’s entire product line, which includes an advanced portfolio of equipment for mining applications in North America.
J&S, a Walden Co. is deploying Volvo Penta’s Tier 4 Final/Stage V dual-certification engines, which are designed to contribute to reduced carbon emissions during operation and support improved environmental management. The engines will be supported by distribution partner Wajax, offering local resources and technical assistance for all Volvo Penta product and service needs.
Volvo Penta’s engines are optimized for mining applications and certified by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) and CanmetMINING, government agencies for the United States and Canada that establish and enforce health, safety and sustainability standards for the mining industry.
In addition, the D5 dual-certification engines are engineered to meet stringent EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V standards and support the reduction of harmful emissions during operations. When integrated into J&S’s power equipment, these engine solutions are designed to enhance fuel efficiency and durability, leading to extended operational uptime and lower total cost of ownership.
Volvo Penta’s D5 Tier 4 Final and Stage V engines are built to perform in demanding mining conditions, providing robust construction and consistent power output to support uptime. Service intervals of up to 1,000 hours help optimize efficiency and safeguard productivity. Additionally, all Volvo Penta off-road engines are designed based on the same platform, which simplifies everything from installation to service and the acquisition of spare parts.
Volvo Penta works closely with partners and customers to deliver comprehensive solutions that increase uptime and drive profitability. When choosing a Volvo Penta-powered engine, mining operators gain access to services such as streamlined installation, aftermarket support and on-site engineering expertise available even in remote locations, the company stated.
J&S Manufacturing has already received its first orders for a new Volvo Penta-powered boom truck and scissor lift truck, both in operation in underground mines in Northern Ontario. An additional scissor lift, boom and ANFO loader truck are scheduled to deliver to customers in early 2025.
