From Brackets to Systems: Complete Mounting

Exhaust Mounting Solutions, Chassis Component Engineering, Heavy-Duty Mountings

Scope of Work

Our engineering team supported Caterpillar’s On-Highway Truck division by designing and developing chassis mounting systems and critical exhaust-related components. The scope included design of cross-member supports, exhaust mounting systems, after-treatment assemblies, and battery box brackets. The objective was to deliver durable, compact, and manufacturable solutions that could withstand heavy-duty applications.

Key Contributions

• Designed exhaust mounting systems, ensuring vibration resistance, durability, and ease of assembly.
• Engineered chassis cross-member supports for structural rigidity and load-bearing capacity.
• Developed battery box mounting brackets, optimizing placement and serviceability.
• Designed and validated after-treatment mounting systems, ensuring compliance with emission standards and integration with exhaust tubing.
• Created CAD models, detailed drawings, and assembly layouts for all major components.
• Conducted packaging and clearance studies to guarantee proper fitment within the vehicle architecture.
• Supported the preparation of manufacturing drawings and assisted with product validation activities.

Expertise Demonstrated

This project highlighted our capabilities in chassis component design, exhaust system integration, and structural bracket engineering. Our focus on vibration control, durability, and manufacturability ensured reliable designs that supported Caterpillar’s performance and compliance goals.

The engagement resulted in optimized mounting systems that improved durability, assembly efficiency, and ease of maintenance. Our CAD-driven approach reduced design iterations, minimized rework, and accelerated the validation process. The final solutions enhanced vehicle reliability while meeting stringent on-highway truck standards.
