Manoj D.
Senior Mechanical Design Engineer | Machine Design | Heavy Equipment |
Mechanical Design Engineer | 20+ Years | Heavy Equipment, Cranes, Mining & Special Machines Mechanical Design Engineer with 20+ years of hands-on experience in mechanical design, engineering, system integration, vehicle integration, and development of heavy and special-purpose machinery. I specialize in taking a concept from initial engineering and calculations through 3D design, detailed manufacturing drawings, BOM, structural analysis, and production-ready design. My experience covers heavy transportation, ODC trailers, cranes, construction equipment, underground mining equipment, conveyors, AGVs, and special-purpose machines. 🔧 Core Engineering Expertise New Concept & Product Development Mechanical System & Vehicle Integration Driveline Installation & Integration Mechanical System Architecture Load, Stress & Stability Calculations Structural Design & Analysis Vehicle Dynamics Kinematics & Mechanism Design Multi-Body Dynamics Hydraulic System Design & Integration Design for Manufacturing & Assembly (DFMA) Production & Manufacturing Drawings BOM Development & Engineering Documentation 🚛 Heavy Transportation & Special Vehicles ODC Trailer Design & Engineering Special-Purpose Trailer Design Heavy Transport Equipment Wind Turbine Blade Carrier – Telescopic Design Winching & Mooring Systems for Large Aerostats 🏗️ Cranes & Construction Equipment Extensive experience designing and engineering different types of cranes, including: Pick-and-Carry Self-Propelled Cranes Rough-Terrain Slewing Cranes – 10 to 40 Ton Tower Cranes Knuckle Boom Cranes Crane Load Charts Crane Lifting Plans Stability & Load Calculations ⛏️ Underground Mining Equipment Hands-on experience in the design and development of underground mining and material-handling equipment, including: Transfer Chutes Low profile Booster Belt storage Roof-Mounted Coal Conveyor Systems with 90° Transfer Chutes Universal Adjustable Transfer Chutes – 360° Rotation & Height Adjustment Radial Stackers Low-Profile Conveyor Boosters for Coal, Potash, Ore, etc. Adjustable Compact Bed – New Concept Design Discharge Units Compo Drive – Adjustable Discharge Boom & Drive System ⚙️ Special-Purpose Machines Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGV) Custom Material-Handling Equipment Special-Purpose Machinery Mechanical Mechanisms & Actuation Systems Hydraulic Systems & Integration 💻 Engineering & Design Deliverables I can support projects from concept to manufacturing, including: 3D Solid Modeling Mechanical Assembly Design Manufacturing / Fabrication Drawings GD&T & Engineering Detailing Bill of Materials (BOM) Design Calculations Load & Stress Analysis Structural Design Hydraulic Design & Integration Kinematic Analysis Multi-Body Dynamics Design Reviews & Engineering Documentation Why Work With Me? With 20+ years of engineering experience, I understand not only how to create a 3D model, but how to develop a design that can actually be manufactured, assembled, operated, maintained, and integrated into a complete machine or vehicle. I bring practical engineering experience from heavy machinery, cranes, transportation systems, underground mining equipment, and special-purpose machines to every project. If you have a challenging mechanical design problem, a new machine concept, or an existing machine that needs to be redesigned or improved, I can help take it from concept to a practical, production-ready solution.
