Project Scope

A long travelling, luffing and shuttling shiploader with an elevated conveyor gantry. The elevated conveyor gantry is fully enclosed with a sealing curtain to minimise any dust emissions. The shiploader is equipped with a telescopic chute and jet slinger along with a dust extraction unit which also minimise dust emissions. The machine is able to load both low density woodchips and the higher density grain.
