l Types of Ship Loaders

Slewing shiploaders

Traveling shiploaders with slewing booms are particularly suited to shorter quay lengths. By luffing the boom and in certain types telescoping it, these shiploaders can optimally adapt to a ship's size and loading process. One particular advantage of slewing shiploaders is that ships can be loaded from both sides of a finger pier.

Radial traveling shiploaders

This type of shiploader with a fixed pivot pointand radial trackis predominantly deployed when the required water depth is first reached at a point far from the shore. Radial shiploaders can be erected offshore and do not need a massive pier line.Their specialized design,which is optimized for a specific ship size,means only a single berth is possible.

Stationary shiploaders

This type of shiploader has a fixed base, which the entire shiploader is mounted on and supported by. That is why no rail tracks are needed. The boom has a fixed pivot point and slew bearing on this fixed base.These shiploaders are capable of slewing shutling and luffing movements, and are the most cost-effcient type of shiploader. However, a ship may need to be moved several times for the shiploader to be able to reach all the holds.
