What Are The Applications of Mobile Shiploaders?


Our mobile ship loaders are mainly used to load bulk materials into bulk carrier vessels. We offer complete solutions of mobile ship loading conveyor, barge loading conveyor, and vessel loading conveyor. The most common shiploaders are used in ports to handle bulk materials like these:

  • Coal Ship Loaders for bulk coal
  • Ore Ship Loaders for iron ore, copper ore, gold ore, and more
  • Grains Ship Loaders for corn, soybeans, wheat, and similar products
  • Sawdust and Wood-chips Ship Loaders
  • Fertilizer Ship Loaders
  • Ship Loaders for aggregate, sand, gravel, crushed rock, cement clinker, etc.

FAQ About Mobile Ship Loader for Bulk Materials


1. What is a mobile ship loader?

A mobile ship loader, a high compact mobile conveyor system, that loads dry bulk into a ship or barge and can be moved off the berth. It is an alternative to a fixed shiploader or a grab crane, when loading bulk material into ship holds..

2. Why to choose one instead of a traditional ship loader?

A traditional ship loader is right when one berth loads the same cargo, at a very high rate, for years. For most other terminals we recommend a mobile unit. It loads continuously, civil work is much smaller, and we can install it in days rather than months. When the berth is free we move it aside, send it to another berth, or use it to build a stockpile. It can also cover a fixed stacker-reclaimer while that machine is down.

3. What types of mobile ship loaders do we offer?

  • Radial telescopic, Several hatches from one feed point
  • All-wheel travel, One machine, more than one berth
  • Rail-mounted,The quay already has rails
  • Cambered boom,We have to clear ship gear or quay structures
  • Feeder and boom on one chassis,Trucks tip straight into the loader
  • Highway-portable, The machine must travel between ports and also stack
  • Port-portable, A high-rate machine that stays at one terminal

4. How do our mobile ship loaders load several hatches without moving the feeder?

We keep the tail on the feed point. The boom slews, and the inner conveyor runs out into the hold. On a typical radial telescopic loader we can trim about three hatches before the feeder has to move. The extending section also lets us pass the cranes on a geared ship. On some berths we load four or five hatches without shifting the vessel at all.

5. How do our mobile ship loaders move on the quay?

On an all-wheel machine we steer in crab, radial, carousel, inline, or parallel. Some units use radial, parallel, and tow. We can reposition along the quay without taking the machine apart. That is what we specify when one loader has to serve more than one berth. If the ground is soft, we put it on tracks. If the quay has rails, we put it on rails and still telescope the boom.

6. How do our mobile ship loaders trim the hold and control dust?

We discharge through a telescopic chute or a cascade chute. Feed and transfer points are sealed. If the cargo needs it, we add extraction, water suppression, or both. For trimming we use a cascade chute, a variable-speed thrower, or a distributor. The operator stands at the hatch with a radio remote and watches the pile, rather than guessing from a cabin far away. Some chutes are a light telescoping tube that does not plug easily, and we can raise them automatically as the hold fills. Covers are steel, canvas, or retractable. Spill trays and liners inside the spout keep the quay clean.

7. What power do our mobile ship loaders use?

Shore power if you have it. If the loader has to roam, we fit a diesel set or a diesel-electric drive. Travel, luff, and telescope are usually hydraulic. One thing we always check: a generator sized only to move the machine will not run the belt at full rate.

8. What rate can our mobile ship loaders load?

The loading capacity depends on belt width and the material. Radial telescopic and rail-mounted: up to 3,000 t/h. Cambered boom ship loader: up to 2,000 t/h, belt 1,000 / 1,200 / 1,400 mm.

9. How long is the boom, and how high does it discharge?

The our mobile ship loader working length is fully extended up to 58 m (190 ft). We can also provide customized working boom length for larger ships.

Why Should You Invest in Our Mobile Shiploader?


SKE Industries's mobile ship loading conveyor equipment has a very strong advantage than traditional ship loader.

  • Less Engineering and Lower Investment

    Faster lead times compared to fixed systems requiring excessive engineering. Significantly lower capital investment than highly engineered and fixed ship loader conveyor system.

  • Quick Installation and Smaller Footprint

    Installation times of mobile barge loading conveyor measure in hours and days versus weeks or months. The mobile barge loader needs small footprint that creates more dock space for other opportunities.

  • High Mobility and Powerful Function

    Highly mobile shiploaders can rapidly move in and out of your operation. Multi-functional machinery performs loading, unloading and stockpiling tasks.

  • Resale Value and Quality Assurance

    SKE's mobile shiploaders have high resale value, even increasing over time. Quality of bulk material maintained throughout the loading conveyor handling process by our mobile ship loading conveyor equipment.
