This brake represents Pioneer’s first endeavour into component supply and launches a new manufactured products business segment. The statement said the company “uses its 30 plus years of off highway equipment design, manufacturing, and product support experience to provide valuable lifecycle solutions to its customers.”

Pioneer’s brakes are designed to exceed industry braking standard requirements and easily interface with different OEM axle configurations. Each series is designed to be expandable within a given payload range. The brakes are manufactured with high quality materials to provide excellent performance and reliable operation. Pioneer’s plans include a series of brakes for use on mechanical and electric drive dump trucks with 25 to 400 short ton payloads. The business will support customers throughout new product development, prototype, testing, production, and field service, including availability of aftermarket parts.

In addition to the brake product, Pioneer’s manufacturing operations will focus on other highly engineered components, such as differential gearing and final drive planetary assemblies. These components require advanced manufacturing processes and a high level of quality to perform in the extreme applications of the off highway equipment industry. Pioneer Solutions, LLC will be displaying a new brake, designed to be used on 320 short ton electric drive dump trucks, at the MINExpo show from September 24-26, 2012 in Las Vegas at Booth #5433 in the Central Hall.
