Design, Build, Deliver
The full range of heavy-equipment engineering services
MEDATech Engineering designs, builds and delivers customized heavy-duty mobile equipment. Approximately half of our business centres on Engineering Services, from project consulting to equipment design and development, controls system development, telematics and robotics. Whether you need a solid design or a finished piece of equipment, MEDATech is well-known for its ability to design, build and deliver in-house.
Engineering consulting
Many great solutions begin with the question ‘What if?’. MEDATech has a long history of answering that question through consulting and feasibility studies.
Whether your ‘what if’ centres on energy and process management, fleet improvements or productivity metrics, we can help you to get the answer you need to move in the right direction. Read about our Vehicle & Fleet Electrification Feasibility Studies, or find out more about our broader Engineering Consulting & Feasibility capabilities.
Equipment design & development
When it comes to designing and building an entire vehicle, you need a high level of coherence across systems in development. That can only be achieved if the entire vehicle is built by one team, which is what we do at MEDATech every day. Most design firms will outsource discreet parts of the build, but from what we’ve seen that’s a recipe for a machine that is never quite right.
Building a complete machine that works the way you want it to takes deep expertise across mechanical, fluid, electrical and control systems. We combine this knowhow with advanced technologies and best practices. We build a lot of control-systems and other software, develop vehicle telematics capabilities, and always meet or exceed safety regulations.

Controls system development
MEDATech undertakes a broad range of control system design and development, including CanBus, GPS, Automation, PLC, GUI development and much more. Because we design for our clients’ express needs, we are able to develop industry-leading systems and upgrade existing systems.

Our approach is unique thanks to our full in-house integration, practical field experience, and a focus on delivering complete, working solutions. Our team combines engineering expertise with mechanical excellence and real-world operational knowledge, allowing us to design systems that perform reliably in demanding environments.
We support a wide range of industries including mining, construction, transportation, energy, agricultural and industrial sectors. Our experience across these industries allows us to apply proven engineering approaches to new challenges and applications.
Yes. Our capabilities include robotics and material handling system design for heavy equipment applications. These solutions improve safety, efficiency and repeatability by automating complex or high-risk tasks within industrial environments.
We take a fully integrated, system-level approach to equipment design and development. By engineering all subsystems together—from mechanical and hydraulic to electrical and controls—we ensure that the final machine operates as a cohesive, high-performance system.
Yes. Our capabilities include electric and hybrid powertrain design as part of broader engineering services. We support system integration, feasibility and development to help clients transition toward electrified equipment platforms. The process typically begins with an electrification feasibility study.
Yes. Our capabilities include simulation, system analysis, and failure analysis to evaluate performance, identify risks, and improve designs. These services help ensure that systems are validated before deployment and optimized for real-world operating conditions.
Our mobile equipment software development capabilities include real-time monitoring systems, vehicle management software, HMI development, and simulation-based development using tools like MATLAB Simulink. We build robust, standards-based software that supports safe, reliable operation of heavy equipment systems.
Yes. Our capabilities include control system design and development across CAN-bus, PLCs, automation systems, GPS integration, and user interfaces. We develop custom control strategies tailored to each machine, enabling improved performance, usability, and system intelligence.
Our capabilities span multiple engineering disciplines including mechanical design, hydraulic systems, electrical systems, control systems, and structural design. This multi-disciplinary approach allows us to solve complex problems and deliver fully integrated solutions for heavy equipment applications.
Yes. One of our core strengths is designing and building complete machines in-house. By keeping all disciplines—mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and controls—under one umbrella, we ensure system-wide coherence, performance, and reliability that is difficult to achieve with outsourced development.
Yes. Our capabilities include engineering consulting and feasibility studies to help answer critical “what if” questions around performance, productivity, energy use, and fleet optimization. We work with clients early in the process to evaluate options and define the best path forward before development begins.
Our engineering services span the full lifecycle of heavy-duty mobile equipment, from consulting and feasibility through to design, build, and delivery. Our capabilities include mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, and control system engineering, along with software development, robotics, and system integration—allowing us to deliver complete, in-house engineered solutions.
